Setting The Scene

Situated on a pretty, tree lined, quiet no-through road, this property offers a peaceful setting while remaining conveniently close to everyday essentials, the city centre, and the surrounding countryside. It’s an ideal location for those looking for a balance of accessibility and a more relaxed pace of life.

Just a short distance away are some of Bath’s well-known scenic walking routes, with lovely views across Southstoke and the surrounding hills. The much-loved Cross Keys and Packhorse pubs are nearby—perfect for a weekend lunch or drink with friends.

Practical amenities are close at hand, including a local GP surgery, supermarket, and the Odd Down 3G sports facility. Bath city centre, known for its rich history, shops, and restaurants, is only about a 10-minute drive away. Regular bus routes from the end of the road and the Odd Down Park & Ride also offers a convenient option for trips into town.

Families will find a good range of local schools nearby, including Combe Down Primary, St Gregory’s, Ralph Allen, Beechen Cliff, and Hayesfield, all within easy reach.

For commuters, Bath Spa Station is under three miles away, offering direct rail links to London (around 1 hour 20 minutes) and Bristol (about 10 minutes), making this a well-connected spot for work or travel.

The Property

Occupying arguably the finest position on the road, this charming 1930s home sits proudly at the very end, enjoying a lovely outlook down a picturesque, tree-lined street. In summer, the cherry trees bloom with vibrant pink blossoms, creating a beautiful and tranquil setting.

A short, gated driveway and a neatly kept front lawn enhance the home’s curb appeal, while large bay windows at the front not only add character but also flood the interior with natural light. Plantation shutters, installed in 2022, offer both style and practicality.

The property has previously been thoughtfully extended above the garage, now offering three generous double bedrooms, including a principal bedroom with ensuite. It’s presented in good condition throughout, with scope for personalisation should you wish to make it your own.

The kitchen, fully renovated in 2023, is sleek and contemporary, featuring integrated appliances—dishwasher, washing machine, and fridge freezer—as well as a Quooker tap providing both cold filtered and instant boiling water. Karndean flooring, recently fitted throughout the ground floor (excluding the sitting room, which has a cosy carpet), adds durability and elegance.

A conservatory, while older, remains a valuable and versatile space, complemented by double doors from the dining room that open onto the garden. There is also potential to extend to the rear (subject to planning permission).

The rear garden spans the full width of the house and offers a mix of patio and lawn areas. Pretty and relatively private, it enjoys sunlight throughout the day, making it a delightful outdoor retreat.

All in all, a wonderful family home with charm, space, and further potential – in one of the best spots on the street.
