Setting The Scene

Shaftesbury Road is ideally positioned in the popular Oldfield Park area of Bath, offering a well-balanced blend of residential calm and everyday convenience. The property is within easy walking distance of Moorland Road, a vibrant local high street known for its independent cafés, shops, pubs and amenities. Oldfield Park railway station is close by, providing regular services to Bath Spa, Bristol and beyond, while frequent bus routes offer quick access to Bath city centre, approximately one mile away. The area is well regarded for its strong community feel and proximity to local schools, green spaces and transport links, making it an attractive location for professionals, families and investors alike.

The Property

This beautifully renovated Victorian terraced home offers a wonderful blend of original character and thoughtful modernisation, finished to a high standard throughout and extended with a stunning loft conversion. The property retains many charming period features, including large bay windows and an original working fireplace in the living area, while wide wooden floorboards across the ground floor add warmth and a particularly stylish finish.

The accommodation has been carefully updated to suit modern living and now offers three well-proportioned rooms, including an impressive loft room that enjoys statement Velux windows with far-reaching views across Bath. This top-floor retreat is further enhanced by a contemporary ensuite shower room, making it an ideal principal bedroom, guest suite or home office space. A sleek, modern family bathroom completes the home, featuring both a walk in shower and a bath.

Externally, the garden is a true standout feature. Exceptionally long and set on a larger than average plot, it has been affectionately nicknamed “the banana garden” or “the boomerang” due to its unique shape and it really does just keep going. Designed for both relaxation and entertaining, the garden includes multiple seating areas with decking and patio spaces, outdoor electricity, an outdoor bar/shed, and a fully equipped workshop with power and extensive storage. New fencing and atmospheric festoon lighting run the full length of the garden, creating a magical space from day to night.

This is a rare opportunity to acquire a characterful Victorian home that has been lovingly upgraded, beautifully decorated, and thoughtfully extended, offering well proportioned indoor and outdoor living in a highly desirable setting.
