Oak Street, Bath, Bath

Setting the Scene

Oak Street has that rare hidden gem feel, close enough to the heart of Bath to enjoy everything the city offers, yet tucked away with a surprising sense of seclusion. Set on the south side of the city, less than a mile from the centre, it’s surrounded by handsome Georgian terraces and a growing riverside scene. The Newark Works at South Quay has brought a fresh energy to the area, with stylish workspaces, Mokoko coffee, and a cool atmosphere along the river with the cycle path stretching all the way to Bristol.

Bath itself, a UNESCO World Heritage city, is known for its iconic Georgian architecture, independent cafés, restaurants, bars and thriving cultural scene. Oak Street attracts a great mix of young professionals, families and long-time locals, giving it a lively but balanced feel.

The location is brilliantly connected too. The city is an easy flat walk, within ten minutes you can be at the famous Roman Baths right in the centre. Bath Spa and Oldfield Park stations and the A4 are nearby, offering easy access to Bristol and London. With excellent schools close by, including Widcombe, Hayesfield and Beechen Cliff, it’s easy to see why Oak Street is so popular with first-time buyers and professionals looking for a characterful Bath base with a little edge.

The Property

A beautifully renovated Grade II listed Georgian terraced house, effortlessly blending period charm with a refined contemporary style. Thoughtfully redesigned by the current owners, every inch of the house reflects a confident eye for detail, quality and understated cool. Features including sash windows, stone fireplaces and wooden floorboards sit seamlessly alongside carefully chosen modern finishes, creating a home that feels both timeless and fresh.

The accommodation has been cleverly configured to maximise space and light, with elegant reception rooms full of warmth and character. The recently updated kitchen is particularly impressive, featuring bespoke fitted carpentry, integrated appliances, a charming garden-facing window and double doors opening outside. Upstairs, the luxurious bathroom has been finished with high-end brass fittings, beautiful tiling, a walk-in shower and separate bath.

There are two generous double bedrooms, while an allocated parking space, accessed via an alleyway further along the terrace, is a rare and valuable addition for such a central Bath location.

Stylish, characterful and immaculately executed throughout, this is a house with a genuinely special feel that the owners have thoroughly enjoyed living in for ten years.
