Church Street, Woolley, BA1

Setting the Scene

Woolley is a charming and historic hamlet, with roots dating back to Saxon times, set just north of the World Heritage City of Bath. Tucked within Woolley Valley, part of the Cotswolds Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and designated Green Belt land, it offers an idyllic blend of rural tranquillity and easy access to city life. Surrounded by rolling countryside and far-reaching views, Woolley provides a peaceful escape and warm community, while being just an approximate 10 minute drive from the vibrant centre of Bath and its array of shops, cafes, cultural and sporting attractions, and amenities.

This sought-after location is ideal for those looking to enjoy a slower pace of life without compromising on convenience. The area is well served by both state and independent schools, including Swainswick Primary (within walking distance), St Stephen’s, St Saviour’s, St Mark’s, The Royal High School, and Kingswood. Excellent transport links to the M4 motorway approximately 10 miles to the north, easy access to nearby villages and Bristol some 15 miles to the west make it a practical choice for commuters. Additionally Bath Spa Railway Station provides a direct link to London, Bristol and South Wales.

Please note, there are no direct public transport links from Woolley itself, so it’s best suited to buyers with their own transport, whilst local amenities in neighbouring Larkhall Village and Lansdown ensure convenience. If your dream is to wake up to birdsong, soak in breath-taking views, and enjoy life away from the hustle and bustle, then welcome home.
