Henrietta Gardens, Bath, Somerset, BA2

Coming to the market for the first time in over forty years, this exceptional extended 1930s four-bedroom home presents a fantastic opportunity for those seeking space and tranquillity in a refined urban setting. Semi-detached, featuring a single garage, ample parking, and gardens to the front and rear, the standout feature of this beautifully maintained property is undoubtedly its excellent location.
Situated just a short, level stroll from Bath's buzzing town centre, the Kennet and Avon Canal, and the Holburne Museum and Sydney Gardens, it overlooks the leafy expanse of Henrietta Park. The owners express, 'living opposite and having views of the Park is very special; in all the years we have lived here, we have never tired of watching the grand trees and flowers change and bloom throughout the seasons.' Described by the owners as having a 'warm and welcoming feel,' the house underwent an extension and reconfiguration in 2009, resulting in a spacious hallway, a sizable kitchen, four bedrooms matched by four bathrooms – two en suite – and distinctive features including an oak staircase, a diamond-shaped atrium, and a roof lantern. A garage was added with access from the house, and the parking area was expanded to comfortably accommodate four cars. A private road, shared with a neighbour, provides access to the rear of the property, where a low-maintenance enclosed garden with an attractive rockery, pagoda and mature planting awaits. Carefully designed, it offers a variety of spaces to enjoy both sunshine and shade. ‘The rear garden is the perfect place to retreat to while the front is great for sitting and watching the park, and the world go by.’

‘Being part of the Henrietta Park Association, which organises social events, and Friends of the Park are great ways to meet the locals and be part of this thriving community.’

‘We can't emphasise enough how wonderful it is living next to the park and how much it makes city living feel so peaceful.’

‘We rarely have to get in the car as everything is within walking distance, from good local pubs and restaurants to The Rec, home of Bath Rugby, and all the city has to offer.’

‘The house has thick walls, which means it stays cool in the summer and nice and cosy in the winter. It's always such a lovely home to come back to.’

‘It's been a fantastic family home – if it weren't for age and the circumstances which come with this, we wouldn't be moving.’
