Forefield Terrace is a small terrace of four period properties located between Prior Park Road and Lyncombe Hill. The property is located on a hill and so benefits from a panoramic view of the city and the surrounding countryside. A feeling of countryside, yet just a street from the centre of Widcombe makes it rather special. Widcombe Parade offers a great selection of shops and cafes and the city centre is just across Halfpenny footbridge past Bath Spa Railway Station making this a superb location for commuters. The area is buzzy, vibrant and fun with nice pubs and cafes. The Kennet and Avon Canal path is within 0.2 miles offering a scenic walking and cycle route to Bathampton and the countryside. Futher up the hill is the Lyncombe Valley with access to the Two Tunnels cycle route and the historic Prior Park. Bath University is at the top of Widcombe Hill.
The house is halfway up the hill next to Prior Park Garden centre. There is a small community of four houses with long front gardens and a small access lane to the rear. The house is well balanced with plenty of space to enjoy. There is a sitting room which overlooks the garden with a stunning ashlar bath stone fireplace. A W.C. is tucked neatly under the stairs. At the rear is a split level kitchen with Mandarin Stone limestone tiled floor that opens to a light and spacious dining space with room for a good table and there is access to the rear through a wooden stable door, with wood flooring and panelling making it an ideal space to chat and relax with room to have guests over to visit.
Upstairs there are two floors. On the first floor there are two bedrooms and a splendid bathroom to the rear. The views to the front are special and there is plenty of room for a decent sized bed and large wardrobes. The lovely period fireplaces are charming. The back bedroom makes for a lovely nursery with extra space under the stairs to the top floor. The bathroom has space for both a bath and a double shower and is beautifully light and airy.
The top room is a hideaway and could be a great space for guests with a velux window enjoying the views to Lyncombe Hill and Alexandra Park. The house is presented well throughout and has a lovely feel.
The garden is secluded by a high hedge at the front and there are spaces to sit and enjoy the location and room for those with green fingers to get stuck in. There is a terrace next to the house and mature flowers and planting leading down to another terrace that is perfect for seating to catch the afternoon sun.
