Wellsway, Bath, BA2

Setting The Scene

Situated on the Wellsway in Bath, this well-positioned home enjoys an enviable location between the popular Bear Flat and the amenities of Odd Down. Just a short stroll down the hill brings you to the bohemian Bear Flat, where you'll find a range of convenient shops including Tesco, Co-op, local independents, an Italian deli, and the acclaimed Menu Gordon Jones restaurant.

Head up the hill and Odd Down offers further essentials, including Sainsbury’s, a Post Office, leisure centre, GP surgery, and extensive sports facilities. What’s more, for those who enjoy countryside walks and charming destinations, the renowned Packhorse pub—a beautifully restored, historic inn—is a perfect treat at the end of a scenic walk through nearby South Stoke, or just a 10-minute drive from the doorstep.

This location is ideal for both families and commuters. The property lies within the catchment area of several of Bath’s highly regarded secondary schools, including St Gregory’s, Ralph Allen, Beechen Cliff, and Hayesfield—making it a smart choice for those looking to settle in a well-connected, family-friendly neighbourhood.

Commuters will benefit from excellent transport links, with frequent bus services (every 10–15 minutes) running in both directions along Wellsway, and Bath Spa railway station under two miles away. From here, direct trains connect you to London in approximately 1 hour 20 minutes and to Bristol in just 10 minutes.

The Property

Set proudly above the Wellsway, this striking 1930s semi-detached home enjoys an elevated position with a bold street presence and beautifully maintained front gardens that frame the approach. A flight of steps leads you up to the property, creating a sense of privacy and grandeur, while easy side access takes you through to the rear garden—one of the home’s standout features.

The back garden is truly exceptional: generous in scale and arranged over five thoughtfully designed tiers, it offers a surprising sense of ease and functionality despite its steep incline. Whether you're entertaining on the sun-drenched decking, enjoying a quiet coffee in a shaded corner, or exploring the various garden zones, there’s a space for every moment of the day.

Inside, the house has been tastefully modernised while still celebrating its original 1930s character. High ceilings, deep skirting boards, dado rails, original wooden doors, and charming feature fireplaces all add warmth and period charm. These are complemented by contemporary touches including double glazing throughout—minimising road noise—and a refined decorative palette of muted tones for a calm, modern aesthetic.

The kitchen is a highlight: a stylish shaker-style design fitted with all the modern conveniences, while decorative tiled details in both the kitchen and bathrooms add flair. Practical touches such as a downstairs WC, upstairs fitted carpets, and a welcoming, cohesive décor throughout make this home move-in ready for modern family life.

Combining character, comfort, and convenience in a prime Bath location, this is a home that truly offers the best of both worlds.
