Fosse Lane, Batheaston, BA1

Setting the scene

Batheaston is a charming village located in close proximity (3 miles Northeast) to the historic city of Bath. It is positioned close to the River Avon, and there are several beautiful walking and cycling trails including the renowned Solsbury Hill. One of the most popular outdoor spaces is the Batheaston Meadows, which is a large area of green space that offers stunning views of the river and the surrounding countryside, a hot spot for paddleboarders in the summer.

Location is everything, and this house delivers on that front. With local amenities just a leisurely stroll away, you'll have everything you need within easy reach. Gather café provides artisan coffees and delicious brunches, Robbie’s plaice for Fish and Chips and Italian sweet treats, Indian takeaway and a local convenience store. For any medical needs you have the local doctors surgery and Boots Pharmacy. There’s a local vet and dentist too.

If you decide to venture beyond the neighbourhood, the bus stop is just a stone's throw away, ready to whisk you off into Bath’s city centre. For commuters Batheaston is an ideal location for the M4 motorway and Chippenham and Bath Spa train stations.

There are some excellent local primary schools to include Bathford, Batheaston and Bathampton, with excellent bus routes to Secondary and Independent Schools in both Bath and Wiltshire.
