Old Newbridge Hill, Bath, Somerset, BA1

4 Old Newbridge Hill is a handsome 1930s semi-detached home in Bath, built in the city’s distinctive honey-coloured Bath stone and arranged over three floors. It combines the solid proportions and craftsmanship of its era with a natural warmth and elegance, creating a home that feels both characterful and highly practical for modern living.
Owned and cherished by the same family for sixteen wonderful years, the owner says, ‘the house has been a much-loved backdrop to family life.’
The accommodation flows easily across three floors, with a kitchen and dining space opening directly onto the garden through double doors, creating a seamless link between inside and out. ‘We added the breakfast room which completely transformed the kitchen into a sociable hub.’
There is also a separate reception room and formal dining room, offering flexibility for both relaxed living and entertaining. Upstairs are four bedrooms across the first and second floors, including one en suite and a family bathroom. ‘The bedrooms enjoy far-reaching views across the Bath hills – mornings are often marked by hot air balloons drifting overhead and evenings by perfect sunsets.’
Although not listed, the house retains many of its original period details, including doors, picture rails, cornicing and fireplaces, all of which contribute to its sense of character and permanence.
Outside, the garden provides a private, low-maintenance retreat. ‘We designed it with a Mediterranean feel – my favourite spot is under the olive tree, G&T in hand on a warm summer evening.’
The location offers an ideal balance of convenience and lifestyle. Chelsea Road’s independent cafés, delis and shops are just a short walk away, alongside excellent schools, the Royal United Hospital and easy access into the city centre. ‘A particular highlight is the flat 30-minute walk into Bath, offering an easy and scenic route into town without needing the car.’
More than anything, it is the lifestyle that defines this home – easy, connected and full of quiet daily pleasures, with the city right on the doorstep.

‘The sense of community here is lovely, with wonderful neighbours who are friendly and supportive, regularly sharing garden produce and small acts of kindness.’

‘Hugely valuable is the off-street and garage – a rare feature in Bath where parking is at a premium.’

‘Living here offers the best of both worlds – a friendly local community and all the attractions of the city.’

‘It has been a truly happy home with a beautiful “soul,” full of warmth, laughter and the joys of everyday family life.’
