3 bed semi-detached house for sale

Meadow Park, Bath BA1

It’s rare that a home feels so instantly special. Designed and owned by a talented designer with a flair for mid-century modern form, colour, and art, this property is a masterclass in style and soul. Every space has been lovingly curated, not just for beauty but for real life – practical, inspiring, and utterly inviting. You walk into and just feel it – the calm, the composition, the quiet joy in every detail. Elegant forms, layered textures, and colour used with confidence.
An airy home with an idyllic outlook which ticks many valuable boxes


Tucked at the private end of a short access only street (shared by houses on Morris Lane), this home's leafy outlook, over a meadow with roaming deer, visiting pheasants and a resident kestrel, is a much treasured asset.
Excellent value for the bannerdown area


Set on the lower slopes off Bannerdown road, just a few miles east of Bath's city centre, in a peaceful, well served & connected neighbourhood benefiting from free on-street parking and a fast direct local link to the M4 (Bristol/London). Frequent buses and a 'green' primarily off road cycling & walking route into Bath, make car ownership optional, electric bikes whizz up Morris Lane & Bannerdown Hill... Which leads on up to the 'Three Shires Stone' marking the meeting point of the beautiful Cotswold Counties: Somerset, Gloucestershire & Wiltshire.
Thriving local community


Three active village communities provide lovely local primary schools in Batheaston, Bathford & Bathampton. Batheaston's High Street shops & services include; 'corner shops' with Post Office/Evri, medical practice, dentist, chemist, Gather Cafe/bar, George & Dragon pub and excellent fish & chips. Bathford has a community shop/cafe run by volunteers, (you can phone up to place orders from Hobbs House bakery & Larkhall Butchers) and the Crown pub with a lovely garden, plus there's a well stocked local plant nursery/hardware store. Various regular bus services into Bath and out to Bradford-on-Avon, Trowbridge, Melksham, Devises, Corsham and Chippenham.
The great outdoors on the doorstep


An 'area of outstanding natural beauty', this side of Bath's beauty spots include exceptional hill & valley walks with glorious views at Little Solsbury Hill, Bannerdown Common (a favourite for dog walks) Northend and St Catherine's Valley. Two former mills flanking a picturesque old Toll Bridge (free to walkers/£1 a car), plus The George on the canal at Bathampton, are local watering holes along a tranquil walking/cycling route via riverside & canal towpath into Bath and out towards Bradford on Avon. Various valued river access points for swimmers & boaters and the property provides space to store bikes, paddle boards and canoes...

The Property details

access, garage & gardens

The house can be accessed via both front & back gardens connected by a side area, each having their own opportunities and offering a sunny or shady spot throughout the day.

Courtyard style garden (car access side)

The roadside access, has a small driveway in front of a garage with power, light, window & side door opening onto a covered section of the garden path (door to attached store cupboard), which leads in from the kerb, past a courtyard style garden with borders & raised beds, to the kitchen door.

Side area (linking front & back)

Stepping around to a seating area at the side of the house, reveals the 'wow factor' view over the meadow (formally Mumfords Vineyard), with glimpses of Bathford village nestled on its leafy hillside across the valley. Continuing on (past a table & chairs) around to the hall entrance door, wide steps lead down to the meadow-side garden (and door to the under-croft).

Meadow-side garden (pedestrian access)

A favoured spot to laze & gaze at the view, is within a circle of flowers, forget-me-knots in spring followed by summer perennials. A seating area against the back of the house, catches the sun until mid afternoon and feels cosy in the moonlight. A newly levelled corner is an opportunity to personalise the garden with a new feature (pond, gazebo, trampoline...) or plant up with favourites. The garden path leads on out under a dainty magnolia tree onto the access only lane bordering the meadow, (only really used by the postman).

Downstairs
Hallway


Bright spacious hallway, with doors to the living room, kitchen-diner and loo/shower room. Stairs up to the first floor.
Loo & shower room


Small loo & shower room (handy for rinsing off 'furry friends', after a splash in the river or a muddy walk).

Kitchen-dining room - (6.16 x 4.88m) (20'3" x 16')

The generous kitchen-diner (formally two rooms) has a wall of windows facing the courtyard style garden. Geraniums & roses begin flowering as the spring show of daffodils, euphorbia & clematis fade, with fabulous dahlias & tasty tumbles of nasturtiums adding drama from mid summer until the first frosts. (The huge potted fig is not for sale).
Kitchen area


The kitchen's 'working parts' include a small sink with boiling water tap in addition to the large sink (& dishwasher) in an adjacent area. The convenient fridge position provides space for a wider 70cm appliance with easy access to plumbing. A higher ratio of drawers to cupboards (one housing a microwave), provides efficient storage. A mobile worktop with key items stored on shelves below is sociably central to 'the working triangle'. (Ikea kitchens are much favoured by designers, the presenter of 'Grand Designs' famously built his own).
Dining area


The dining area fits both a large table and a prime comfy chair spot by the window, the perfect vantage point for enjoying the garden all year round, (including watching a magpie build a nest in the neighbour's delightfully spherical copper beech).
Utility area


The washer/dryer is hidden from view in a compact (and bijou!) utility area under the stairs. In addition to the hall door a second doorway adjacent to the utility area, connects into the living room.

Living room- (6.18 x 3.63) (20'03" x 11'11")

The living room is excellently proportioned, feeling both spacious and cosy both with or without the wood burner going. Being elevated above ground level (under-croft below), the view through the huge window sweeps over meadow and through trees towards Bathford's leafy hillside. Plenty of room for large sofas, TV and also a desk (or table), a wall of glass-doored cupboards suits books, CDs, files & display.

Upstairs

Bedroom 1 - (3.6m x 3.61m) (11' 10" x 11'10")

Upstairs, the first room is the smallest bedroom on the meadow-side of the house, a small double bed by the window gifts a verdant view.

Bedroom 2- (3.63m x 3.03m) (11'11" x 9'11")

On the opposite side of the landing is the medium sized bedroom which has a full wall of sleek white cupboards, with a mix of hanging rails, wire drawers & shelving.
Generous landing


At the far end of the landing, a fully glazed wall sheds (north) light onto a desk space, which would also suit a dressing table or storage. Doors to the bathroom and largest bedroom.

Large bathroom- (2.5m x 3.04m) (8' x 10')

The big airy bathroom has a sink with storage drawers and a bath with shower over (this room is perfectly suited to having a separate large walk in shower & bath).

Bedroom 3- (2.46m x 3.66m) (8'1" x 11'11")

The biggest bedroom has a large window with wonderful dawn views, opening the curtains is an uplifting start to every day.

Under-croft (restricted head height)

With light, power and the boiler (2023), this ambient space is suitable for all kinds of storage including fabric & paper, bikes, garden tools/furniture, an extra fridge or freezer. Having access under the entire ground floor is advantageous for plumbing & electrical work. It's not a proper room but has been enthusiastically used as a teenage gaming den.
Lovingly designed & well cared for home


Having had major job done in recent years the property is in great shape, benefiting from upgrades including; new pitched & flat roof, new boiler, new lighting circuit/fire-alarms, new consumer unit (fuse box), new kitchen (without a boiler centre stage), a utility solution, a work space created on the landing, built in storage, blinds/curtain rails, redecoration inside & out and a multitude of 'snaggy' improvements too numerous to list. The gardens have been thoughtfully designed, landscaped & planted with hardy favourites which dependably spring back to life each year, manageable for novices but plenty for keener gardeners to get excited about.
Uplifting connection with nature


This home gifts a close connection with nature all year round, outside in the fresh air on warmer days and cosily by a window (with radiators underneath) during the colder months. Grazing deer, hanging morning mists and hovering birds of prey are common sights, with huge ghostly barn owls and glorious full moons being awesome rarer treats, all to be enjoyed from the comfort of your chair, inside or out
