Oak Street, Bath, Somerset, BA2

After five and a half years, the owner of this Georgian home at 5 Oak Street is preparing to move on from what has been a deeply cherished home and life chapter. Built in 1820, this Grade II listed end-of-terrace property blends period character with thoughtful modern updates, offering a home that feels both timeless and entirely suited to contemporary living.
Arranged over two floors, the house provides a well-balanced and practical layout. The ground floor comprises a welcoming reception room alongside a kitchen, dining area and utility, while upstairs there are three bedrooms and a family bathroom. Recent improvements include a beautifully upgraded kitchen, now finished with elegant quartz worktops that enhance both its functionality and style. ‘The kitchen and dining area is undoubtedly our favourite space,’ the owner explains. ‘With bifold doors opening onto the garden, it creates a bright, sociable atmosphere that’s perfect for entertaining.’
The property’s charm extends beyond its interior. The private garden is a particular highlight – a delightful sun trap that offers a secluded setting for both relaxing and hosting guests. ‘We’ve spent countless hours out there,’ the owner says, ‘it’s such a calm and enjoyable space, especially with such quiet and considerate neighbours around us.’
Location has also played a key role in the home’s appeal. Set within a vibrant yet tucked away corner of Bath, the house is just moments from an array of independent shops, cafés and restaurants, including the much-loved Mokoko bakery at the end of the street. Excellent transport links add further convenience, with the train station less than a 10-minute walk away, offering direct connections to London in under 90 minutes. ‘It made commuting incredibly easy,’ the owner notes, ‘and having private off-street parking here is a real rarity.’
A strong sense of community completes the picture, with friendly neighbours and a welcoming atmosphere making it feel instantly like home.

‘The garden has been a constant joy, a private retreat that’s perfect in all seasons – the seamless indoor-outdoor flow creates a highly sociable atmosphere.’

‘We’ll miss the sense of community, the convenience, and the unique charm of living in a beautiful Georgian home in such a special part of Bath.’

‘This house has been the backdrop to some of the happiest years of our lives – It’s such a warm and homely place.’
