House For Sale £559,950
A charming two bedroom Grade II Listed Georgian cottage peacefully located in sought after Widcombe on the southern slopes of Bath with stunning views and south-west facing walled gardens.
“Friends describe this area as the Loire Valley of Bath – the valleys and countryside views from this house are glorious. The house was originally part of the Widcombe manor estate, built about 1820 as an artisan cottage. There are four levels to this quirky property full of character, with a modern extension of an open plan kitchen/diner at the back, and stunning 80’ long gardens.”
“The main bedroom is on the top floor with incredible views over to St Stephen’s Chapel, Thomas a Beckett church, Lyncombe Valley and Alexander Park. On the floor below is the second bedroom, which is a small double, and a luxury shower room.”
“The ground floor has the sitting room/library and on the lower ground floor is the open plan kitchen/diner. This opens out into the terraced garden, which is like paradise. It is walled, south-west facing and totally private with incredible views. I have my summer house right at the bottom of the garden; this could be converted to the perfect garden office as other owners in the street have done in their gardens. There are two covenants on this property: Firstly, the owners are not allowed to keep chickens, and secondly no brassieres can be hung outside to dry!”
“There is a lovely community here in Church Street, which is just a short way up Widcombe Hill. Widcombe itself is delightful. The White Hart is an exceptional gastro-pub, and there are two other decent pubs, the Ring O’ Bells and the Ram. There is a well-stocked Co-op, Florist’s, gp and Pharmacy, Vets, Widcombe Deli, coffee shops, Aga shop, Curtain Exchange, Dentist and Launderette. The Prior Park Garden Centre has a superb farm shop and café and an amazing selection of plants. The schools here are excellent, Widcombe Primary School has an ‘Outstanding’ Ofsted rating, and Prior Park and the Paragon are nearby. The Widcombe Social Centre organises lots of community events: Comedy and musical nights and there is an Art Trail as well.”
“The countryside is right on my doorstep, with a rear entrance to Prior Park National Trust gardens just up the Street, and the Skyline walk with unforgettable views over Georgian Bath. The River and Canal are very accessible, and Rainbow Woods up the hill has many good walks. It is so quiet here, with stunning views and walks but Bath station is only 0.5 miles away with trains to London in 1 hour and 10 minutes and the city centre only 0.7 miles away.”
