Clarendon Road, Bath, BA2

Behind a discreet entrance, off one of the most sought-after roads in Widcombe, is Willow Cottage. Arranged across just two floors this is a rare find. The three bedrooms are located off the entrance hall, all beautifully presented served by a smart en-suite shower and the family shower room, well designed, and including fixtures from the Water Monopoly and Lefroy Brooks luxury bathroom companies. The living accommodation is situated on the garden level with an open plan kitchen, dining and sitting room with double doors opening out onto the attractive garden. The kitchen is of note, created by DeVOL kitchens of London and New York, with a more recent showroom in Bath. ‘The Haberdasher’s Kitchen’ is handmade to suit the layout and space, providing a bespoke kitchen. The cool black and white marble tiles with underfloor heating change to oak parquet floors in the sitting area. Two pairs of double doors open out directly to the dining terrace creating the perfect entertaining space in the summer. There is an additional cosy sitting room with a large bay window plus a wood burning stove. At the rear, an arched vault has the benefit of a marble tiled floor again with underfloor heating housing the utility area. It leads into a further marble tiled vault, which is organised as a housekeeping zone, with plenty of storage and space for additional white goods.

Outside

The garden has been landscaped and designed with four generous terraces with multiple dining options, including a pennant stone dining terrace adjacent to the living accommodation with doors opening out making it perfect for entertaining and relaxing. There are two steps to a level lawn and then a gravel terrace includes an attractive planting scheme and central gravelled sitting area. There is also a greenhouse and of particular note a detached garden room or home office. Designed and built to high specification by Crane Garden Buildings with insulation and electricity, it is a perfect home office or even guest accommodation. Extensive exterior brass lighting has been added throughout. The last level is planted out with seasonal planting with an ancient low hung Mulberry Tree taking centre stage.

Situation

Widcombe is a fashionable area of Bath with good level pedestrian access to Bath Spa Station and the city centre. The popular independent shops, bars and businesses of Widcombe Parade add to the appeal of this desirable address. There is a wine bar, a popular pub which has recently incorporated the Widcombe Deli into it, as well as a florist, convenience store, doctors, dentist, architects practice and coffee shop. It also benefits from a rural quality being close to National Trust land including the gardens and famous Palladian Bridge of Prior Park. There is a very pretty walk along Church Street to St Thomas à Becket Church plus the Kennet and Avon Canal, perfect for walkers and cyclists alike. Bath University is located at the top of the hill and sought after schools including Widcombe Primary, Paragon Prep, Prior Park College, and King Edwards are all in the vicinity. There is a pedestrian bridge at the end of Widcombe Parade crossing the River Avon and leading directly into Bath Spa Railway Station. Alternatively, one can enjoy a walk past the cricket ground and Parade Gardens towards the Abbey and on to the excellent cultural and leisure amenities including many fine restaurants, specialist shops, museums, art galleries and theatres, that Bath has to offer.
