House For Sale £699,995
Hay Hill, Bath, Somerset, BA1

Built in the early 1700s this charming Grade II listed three storey three bedroom home is a town house with a difference. Thought to have originally been a shop, it sits in a quaint pedestrian street linking The Paragon to the lower part of Lansdown Road, an area close to some of the city’s most notable buildings and crescents. Retaining some of its original features the house comes with a sunny garden filled with flowers and fruit trees which has been lovingly developed by the current owners. ‘When we viewed 2 Hay Hill we were very taken with the central location, beautiful garden and its overall unique and quirky character; no angle is a right angle, and one really feels embedded in Bath’s rich history living here. It was definitely love at first sight,’ They add, ‘the garden is a haven of greenness that we feel very fortunate to have, especially being so central.’ Being just a stone's throw from the city’s excellent shops, restaurants, cafes, bars, museums, theatres and parks was a huge attraction too. ‘Despite having the city on our doorstep, the position of the house is surprisingly quiet’. Just one block away from the Assembly Rooms and the Circus, the picturesque street really is an attraction in itself.

‘The living room is a real sun trap. The lower ground floor has the largest room in the house which we use as a home office and guest bedroom. The principal bedroom on the first floor has a lovely view of Bath’s rooftops.’

‘The garden is very tranquil and a good size for being so central – it gets loads of sunshine and while enjoying a barbecue or relaxing with a cup of tea or a glass of wine one can hear delightful birdsong. The beautiful walls that surround it always remind us that we are living in a historical city.’

‘We have the most amazing and supportive neighbours. We have recently held street parties for the Coronation and the Jubilee where we’ve decorated the street together and shared a great afternoon of good food and jolly chat. We all look out for each other.’

‘It’s a 10-minute straight walk to the train station and a five-minute drive into the countryside. The area offers excellent access to some of Bath’s best schools too.’

‘The unique character and the house, the beautiful garden and the location are definitely the stand-out features.’
