Description

7 Laggan Gardens is a handsome detached family home built approximately 30 years ago to a very high standard. The property has since been beautifully re-configured and provides excellent open plan living accommodation which maximises the natural light and beautiful southerly views.

The accommodation is arranged over three floors and is entered at the middle of these levels. A spacious and attractive entrance hall greets visitors with a contemporary glass, steel and wooden staircase at the centre. The entertaining space flows wonderfully through this floor, with a well-appointed modern kitchen and breakfast room to the front that is linked to an open plan sitting room and dining room to the rear that has access to a decked balcony and fabulous views out over the rear garden.

Back in the entrance hall, there is access to a guest cloak room and boot room as well as internal access to the large double garage. On the upper floor is a superb principal bedroom suite with a very impressive en-suite bathroom. There are three further double bedrooms on this floor, along with an en-suite guest bedroom and a modern family bathroom. There is a large loft above providing extensive storage.

The garden level provides flexible accommodation, including a large family room with double doors leading out to the garden, as well as a guest bedroom, kitchenette/utility room, bathroom and a bright garden room that enjoys direct access to and wonderful views of the rear garden.

Garden and Grounds

The garden of 7 Laggan Gardens is very special indeed. The current owners are keen gardeners and have created a wild meadow in the centre of the garden with meandering paths mown through it. The borders are well stocked and mature, providing colour all year round, and the surrounding specimen trees provide excellent privacy and a beautiful backdrop. As well as the direct access from the garden floor, the dining room also leads out on to a sunny terrace with elevated views over the garden and with the view of Bath through the trees.

Of particular note is a secret walled kitchen garden, a secluded, walled piece of land lying below no. 7 and no.9 which was once the kitchen garden for the Regency house behind. It has a long, high south facing wall with original Victorian metal rods for supporting wires for espaliered fruit trees. An old permanently locked door at the bottom of a flight of stone steps was once access from the garden below and is Listed. This lower garden is reached by a grand flight of stone steps leading from the rear of the main garden and is still used as a kitchen garden by the current owners. Previous owners used it as a children's play area.

To the front of the property is a large integrated double garage and off street parking for two cars.
