**Situation**
Westfield Cottage is set on Bloomfield Road at its junction with Englishcombe
Lane. A short stroll away are all the amenities of Bear Flat including a local
supermarket, delicatessen, the renowned Menu Gordon Jones restaurant and a
popular public house. Regular bus services or a 20 - minute walk take you to
Bath Spa Railway Station and the city centre.
The area is also recognised for the number of excellent junior and senior
schools nearby, including Beechen Cliff, Moorlands, Hayesfield, Ralph Allen,
Prior Park and Monkton Combe.
**Description**
Formerly a gardener’s cottage to Westfield House, the property has been
through several evolutions to now provide a beautiful Villa style house.
Entering the house from Bloomfield Road through a gothic arch timber door, you
are greeted by a super glazed extension which creates a modern and sympathetic
entrance to the house. This leads you to the front door which has a fine
stained - glass fanlight above.
Entering the main hall there is a superb stone cantilevered staircase leading
to the upper floors and, to your left side, you find the charming sitting
room. This has a central open fireplace with Delft style tiles and French
doors within a square bay. A detail we love is a wonderful drinks cabinet set
within a cupboard to the right of the fireplace.
Further along the hall you reach the spacious kitchen/breakfast room. This is
great space for families with room for a sofa, plenty of space to dine and
lovely views over the gardens. There is a composite stone fire surround with a
cream Jotul coal effect gas fired stove. Through to the kitchen, there is a
great range of painted hand - built units, double Neff ovens (one combination),
dishwasher and space for a freestanding fridge.
Back to the hall, stairs lead down to a study with a back door out to a pretty
courtyard. The room is panelled with tongue and groove and there is a period
housekeeper’s dresser. Doors lead off to both a downstairs cloakroom and a
very useful utility room equipped with a range of units, a butler’s sink and
plumbing for a washing machine. There is direct access to the courtyard from
here.
A further door leads down to a superb cellar area. In part this has
historically been used as a teenager’s den, but in more recent times a gym.
This leads through to a large area which provides storage for bikes and a
separate workshop. There is also a further room which is the old coal store.
Upstairs, on the half landing, is a beautiful guest suite comprising a
generous double bedroom with a nicely finished ensuite bathroom. On the first
floor, the master bedroom is of generous size and has lovely views over the
gardens. A central Edwardian fireplace and a large built - in wardrobe complete
the picture. The third bedroom has an adjoining room which is currently used
as a study but could be a dressing room. There are two further bedrooms,
making five in total. The family bathroom is very nicely equipped with a
period cast iron bath and modern glazed shower cubicle with attractive hexagon
design tiling. The attic provides a large, full height, storage area.
Externally
The gardens are of particular note and a source of great pleasure to our
clients; a wonderful space for kids to play and very secure, being walled on
three sides. Mainly laid to lawn, there is a fantastic tree house to enjoy.
Pathways flanked by box hedging lead you down past a highly productive
vegetable garden and a long border which is well - stocked with perennial and
herbaceous plants. At the bottom you find a Victorian greenhouse, a compost
area, and a paved terrace, ideal for late summer drinks. One of our clients’
favourite plants in the garden is a majestic Magnolia that is a real picture
in early Spring.
