Devonshire Villas, Bath, BA2

Setting The Scene

Devonshire Villas is a highly desirable address, perfectly positioned on the fringe of the ever-popular Poets' Corner in Bear Flat. Just a short stroll from the vibrant heart of Bear Flat, residents enjoy an eclectic mix of independent shops and eateries—from the everyday convenience of Tesco Express and Co-op to local favourites like the charming Italian deli, the much-loved Bear Café, and the renowned fine-dining destination, Menu Gordon Jones.

This location also benefits from close proximity to some of Bath’s top-performing secondary schools, including Beechen Cliff, Hayesfield, Ralph Allen, and St Gregory’s. Everyday essentials are within easy reach, with Odd Down Sainsbury’s, a post office, and a local leisure centre nearby. The historic city centre of Bath—with its vast array of shops, restaurants, and cultural attractions—is just a short journey down the hill.

Alexandra Park, perched atop Lyncombe Hill, offers panoramic, postcard-worthy views over the City of Bath.

Ideal for commuters, Bath Spa railway station is just a mile away, providing direct services to London (approx. 1 hour 20 mins) and Bristol (approx. 10 mins). Regular bus services at the end of the road make getting around the city and to its excellent universities both easy and convenient.

The Property

A rare opportunity to purchase a tastefully updated period home in the heart of Bear Flat, complete with a self-contained ground floor flat offering a reliable monthly income.

This stunning property has been thoughtfully modernised to blend classic charm with contemporary comfort. Featuring nearly new uPVC windows, modern electrics and heating, it offers the ease of modern living while retaining a host of original period details. High ceilings, decorative ceiling medallions, original fireplaces, and an endearing internal stained glass door all contribute to the home’s timeless character.

Most of the property benefits from new flooring, but glimpses of the original floorboards remain in the upstairs bathroom—offering a tempting opportunity for restoration enthusiasts to revive them throughout the home. While the majority of the house is presented in excellent condition, select areas offer the opportunity for redecoration—providing scope for personalisation and a stylish refresh.

This is a unique chance to enjoy a character-filled home with income potential in one of Bath’s most desirable neighbourhoods.
