Prior Park Cottages, Bath, Somerset, BA2

9 Prior Park Cottages is an attractive Grade II listed Georgian townhouse on a quiet lane away from the pleasantly busy Widcombe High Street. It's a well-maintained home with a stylish mix of contemporary features and historical details. Inside, a vestibule has coat storage and is separated from the hall with a half-glazed door.

The hall is painted white throughout and has wooden flooring. The sitting room has views of the front courtyard and original storage cupboards on either side of the chimney breast. Along the hall, the kitchen features an original fireplace and mantle and has white units with pale grey granite worktops. There's a butler's sink, Neff oven and gas hob with extractor fan and some built-in appliances. The utility leads directly from the
kitchen and into a shower room/WC. The dining room is an extension of the original house and is connected to the kitchen via an opening (where the original window would have been). This allows more light into the kitchen and creates space for storage and a breakfast bar in the dining room. Here, the ceiling is elevated and has a skylight window, plus there's access to the garden via French doors.

On the first floor, there are two generous bedrooms, both with attractive views and original storage spaces. The windows here and on the second floor have discreet secondary glazing, offering a practical solution to single-glazed windows.

On the second floor, a glazed ceiling panel allows light on to the landing space that leads to two further bedrooms, again with original and additional storage, fireplaces and wonderful views. There's also a family bathroom (with bath) and a separate WC.

Prior Park Cottages is a quiet lane just off Prior Park Road in Widcombe, a popular area with a thriving community and high street packed with cafes, a butcher, a florist, a pharmacy, a supermarket and several pubs. There's a local church, social club and schools. Widcombe's proximity to the city centre and Bath Spa Station makes it an ideal place to live for commuters (Bath Spa has a mainline rail link to London Paddington and Bristol Temple Meads). Bath has a wide range of independent retailers, restaurants, museums, theatres and art galleries. The city also has a wide range of excellent local schools, and the University of Bath has an international reputation for its high standards and Olympic training facilities.
