Mountain Ash, Bath, BA1

Setting the scene

Mountain Ash occupies a wonderfully peaceful and elevated position in Upper Weston, combining the feeling of country living with the convenience of being close to the heart of Bath. From the property, a rear gate opens onto a footpath leading directly to the Cotswold Way, with Primrose Hill Community Woodland and beautiful walks towards Kelston Roundhill close at hand.

Weston village has a friendly and established community, together with a useful selection of shops and everyday amenities. The Royal United Hospital is also within easy reach, while Bath city centre—home to an excellent choice of independent shops, restaurants, cafés, theatres and cultural attractions—is approximately a 20-minute walk away via Royal Victoria Park, the Royal Crescent and the Circus.

The property is particularly well placed for schools, sitting immediately behind Kingswood School and within easy reach of Kingswood Preparatory School and The Royal High School. Weston All Saints Primary School and Oldfield School are among the state-school options serving the wider area, although purchasers should make their own enquiries regarding admissions and catchment areas.

Bath Spa railway station is approximately 2.5 miles away and provides direct services to Bristol, London Paddington and destinations across the wider rail network. Local bus services connect Weston and Lansdown with the city centre, while the Lansdown Park & Ride offers another convenient option. For travel by road, the A46 provides access to junction 18 of the M4, placing Bristol, London and the wider motorway network within reach.

There are several notable places to eat and stay nearby. The Hare & Hounds on Lansdown is a popular choice for relaxed dining with sweeping countryside views, while The Bath Priory offers fine dining, beautiful gardens and spa facilities. Closer to the centre, The Royal Crescent Hotel & Spa and its Montagu’s Mews restaurant provide another special destination within comfortable walking distance.

It is a location that offers the best of both worlds: countryside walks and birdsong from the doorstep, excellent schools nearby and all the pleasures of central Bath within easy reach.
