Altair, a detached family home located on the southeastern fringes of Bath, offers a mix of modern design and multiple amenities.

The property is on the market with Rivendell Estates, for £1,395,000. It's chain-free and includes both a four or five-bedroom main house and a separate, self-contained two-bedroom annexe.

It's situated near several leading schools, including King Edwards, Ralph Allen, and Prior Park, making it a suitable option for families.

The house was designed by local architect David Hadfield and built in 2006. Its interior features an open-plan living area that combines a living room, dining space, and a modern kitchen complete with stone work surfaces, a central island, and integral appliances.

Bi-fold doors lead out to an enclosed courtyard garden.

Additional rooms can serve as a home office or a fifth bedroom, and there's also a separate utility room and cloakroom.

For added convenience, the home includes modern systems like heat exchange and air ventilation, as well as CAT5 wiring and built-in speakers.

The annexe, built more recently, offers a range of potential uses. It can serve as rental property or as independent living quarters for extended family, for example.

The annexe comes with up to two bedrooms, a newly fitted kitchen, a living area, and a shower room.

Location-wise, Altair is a few minutes' walk from Bath's City Centre and nearby local landmarks like the National Trust and the Kennet and Avon Canal. The area allows for various walking routes, such as through Sydney Gardens to Bathampton village. Essential local amenities can be found on nearby Bathwick Street, and Bath's City Centre, with its shops and cultural facilities, is approximately a 10 to 15-minute walk away.

The property also includes off-street gated parking and a sizeable double garage located under the house.

Viewings for Altair are strictly by appointment through Rivendell Estates.
