Lyncombe Vale Road, Bath, BA2

A distinctive three bedroom home set within the tranquil and prestigious Lyncombe Vale. Lyncombe Lodge occupies a tucked away position at the end of a private lane serving just a handful of residences. Highly versatile, the property features two elegant reception rooms and an open-plan kitchen with direct access to the delightful garden: perfect for everyday living and entertaining. At the heart of the home is an impressive drawing room, centred around a striking marble fireplace with period cast-iron grate and framed by two full-height Georgian style sash windows that open directly into the enclosed garden. On the first floor is the principal bedroom, complete with balcony offering views across the surrounding woodland. The spacious second reception room also occupies this floor, featuring a period fireplace and tall sash windows, again benefitting from a pleasant aspect. Its central staircase divides the study area and a comfortable sitting room and rises to the two remaining bedrooms. For additional flexibility, a practical attic room, accessed via a step ladder, provides useful storage, featuring wooden floorboards and a large roof light.

Outside

The house is approached via a paved driveway leading to a double car port and the main entrance. The garden is a true feature of the home, carefully designed to offer year-round interest. Neatly clipped hedges frame the lawn, which is interspersed with mature shrubs and thoughtful planting. Adjacent to both the kitchen and drawing room is a terrace of pennant stone, providing the ideal setting for outdoor dining. This well-established outdoor area enjoys an appealing outlook, complemented by neighbouring trees, while remaining conveniently close to the city centre. An additional highlight is the first floor balcony, which enjoys an elevated outlook.

Situation

Lyncombe Vale is located just off Prior Park Road, close to one of Bath’s most famous landmarks, Prior Park, now a highly regarded school set within the stunning National Trust Prior Park Landscape Gardens. The Paragon Prep School is just around the corner, whilst Widcombe Infants is at the bottom of the hill making this a particularly convenient area for families. Widcombe Juniors has an OFSTED rating of Outstanding. Highly sought after, the neighbourhood sits to the south of the city centre and offers a peaceful, semi-rural feel with immediate access to open countryside, while still being only a pleasant downhill walk into the heart of Widcombe. Widcombe Parade is a vibrant and fashionable street lined with independent shops including a café, florist, framers, and the Halfpenny wine bar. The area also offers two popular pubs; The Ram, which incorporates Widcombe Delicatessen, and The Ring of Bells. Cultural highlights include the headquarters of the Natural Theatre Company and the home of the Bath Comedy Festival. Everyday conveniences are well covered with a small supermarket, dentist, and doctor’s surgery. A pedestrian bridge crosses the River Avon, providing direct access to Bath Spa railway station and the city centre. Bath itself offers an exceptional range of cultural and leisure amenities, from fine restaurants and boutique shops to world-renowned museums, art galleries, and theatres. The area is also served by some of the region’s finest schools, while the University of Bath sits prominently at the top of the hill.
