Oak Street, Bath, BA2

Setting the Scene

Oak Street has that rare hidden gem feel, close enough to the heart of Bath to enjoy everything the city offers, yet tucked away with a surprising sense of seclusion. Set on the south side of the city, less than a mile from the centre, it’s surrounded by handsome Georgian terraces and a growing riverside scene. The Newark Works at South Quay has brought a fresh energy to the area, with stylish workspaces, Mokoko coffee, and a cool atmosphere along the river with the cycle path stretching all the way to Bristol.

Bath itself, a UNESCO World Heritage city, is known for its iconic Georgian architecture, independent cafés, restaurants, bars and thriving cultural scene. Oak Street attracts a great mix of young professionals, families and long-time locals, giving it a lively but balanced feel.

The location is brilliantly connected too. The city is an easy flat walk, within ten minutes you can be at the famous Roman Baths right in the centre. Bath Spa and Oldfield Park stations and the A4 are nearby, offering easy access to Bristol and London. With excellent schools close by, including Widcombe, Hayesfield and Beechen Cliff, it’s easy to see why Oak Street is so popular with first-time buyers and professionals looking for a characterful Bath base with a little edge.

The Property

A beautifully renovated Grade II listed Georgian terraced house, effortlessly blending period charm with a refined contemporary style. Thoughtfully redesigned by the current owners, every inch of the house reflects a confident eye for detail, quality and understated cool. Features including sash windows, stone fireplaces and wooden floorboards sit seamlessly alongside carefully chosen modern finishes, creating a home that feels both timeless and fresh.

The accommodation has been cleverly configured to maximise space and light, with elegant reception rooms full of warmth and character. The recently updated kitchen is particularly impressive, featuring bespoke fitted carpentry, integrated appliances, a charming garden-facing window and double doors opening outside. Upstairs, the luxurious bathroom has been finished with high-end brass fittings, beautiful tiling, a walk-in shower and separate bath.

There are two generous double bedrooms, while an allocated parking space, accessed via an alleyway further along the terrace, is a rare and valuable addition for such a central Bath location.

Stylish, characterful and immaculately executed throughout, this is a house with a genuinely special feel that the owners have thoroughly enjoyed living in for ten years.

3.85m x 3.18m

A beautifully inviting front-facing living room, finished in rich blue tones that create a warm and relaxed atmosphere. A large sash window overlooks the pretty street outside, while the open connection to the dining room allows additional natural light to flow through from the rear of the house.

Generous proportions allow plenty of room for multiple seating arrangements and a central coffee table, making it an ideal space for both relaxed evenings and entertaining.

Dining Room

4.87m x 3.02m

Adjacent to the living room is the dining room, finished in a considered lighter palette that contrasts effortlessly with the same original wooden floorboards running throughout. Another period fireplace creates a natural focal point, this time complete with a working log burner that adds both character and comfort. There is ample space for a large dining table, making it ideal for entertaining, while the rear window frames a lovely view over the pretty garden.

Occupying over six metres in length, the kitchen is an exceptionally generous space, beautifully designed with tastefully coloured cabinetry, including bespoke fitted elements that make excellent use of the layout. Extensive storage is seamlessly integrated alongside fitted appliances including a washing machine, dishwasher and fridge freezer, creating a sleek and streamlined finish.

Open shelving introduces both character and practicality, while generous worktop space enhances the highly functional design.

A light, bright and calming double bedroom, beautifully finished with painted wooden floorboards and soft neutral walls.

From the windows, there are lovely views across the pretty terrace of neighbouring period houses. The room is generously proportioned, with ample space for a large bed and additional furniture.

Bedroom Two

3.12m x 2.99m

A charming bedroom, currently arranged as a children’s room, full of character and natural warmth. The room comfortably accommodates a single bed at present, while still offering enough space for a double bed if desired. Hard-wearing carpet adds practicality, while two windows, one a large sash and the other smaller and more characterful, add to the charm of the space.

Bathroom

The bathroom is undoubtedly one of the standout rooms in the house, with an exceptional use of space that effortlessly accommodates a bath, walk-in shower, vanity sink, WC and cleverly integrated storage. Stylishly designed throughout, luxurious marble floor tiles with electric underfloor heating are paired with modern square wall tiles and a beautifully chosen wall colour, all complemented by elegant brass fittings, including bespoke Francone taps imported from Italy. A stained glass window offering lovely city views adds the perfect finishing touch, giving the room a distinctive character and a truly refined feel.

Landing

The landing has also been thoughtfully designed to make excellent use of the space, featuring an innovative mezzanine level accessed via a ladder, ideal for additional storage or a creative nook. Here an airing cupboard and access to one of the two lofts provides further practical storage, while the area itself has not been overlooked when it comes to style, continuing the home’s carefully considered aesthetic and attention to detail.

Garden

To the rear is a beautifully arranged garden set across two levels, forming an attractive L-shape that wraps around the kitchen and creates a wonderful connection to the house. Thoughtfully designed for both relaxing and entertaining, the garden combines a paved terrace with a gravelled seating area, offering plenty of space for outdoor lounge furniture as well as a dining table and chairs. A characterful stone wall lines one side of the garden, while original stone steps lead up to the second level, adding to the charm and sense of character throughout the space. Two sheds neatly house garden tools and furniture, whilst established planting provides greenery and seasonal colour all year round, creating a setting that feels really inviting.
