Lascelles Avenue, Bath, BA2

If you love the elegance of Georgian Bath but also value the ease of contemporary living, Holburne Park becomes an unbeatable proposition.

In a city celebrated for its architectural heritage, this thoughtfully designed neighbourhood has earned a reputation as one of Bath's most successful modern additions. Classical architecture, landscaped green spaces and sweeping views across the surrounding valley combine to create a setting that feels entirely at home within its surroundings.

It is the sort of neighbourhood where children play outside, neighbours stop to chat and everyday life unfolds at a gentler pace than one might expect so close to the centre of Bath.

Positioned within the original phase of the development and occupying a particularly quiet corner plot, this home enjoys a wonderful balance of privacy, practicality and connection to the city. The enclosed rear garden is ideally suited to young families, allowing children to play outdoors while remaining easily within view from the kitchen and living spaces, creating the kind of natural connection between house and garden that parents quickly come to appreciate. Thoughtfully screened and designed for easy enjoyment, it also provides a wonderfully private setting for outdoor dining and entertaining. Meanwhile, the generous frontage and parking for several vehicles give the house a feeling of space and ease that is increasingly difficult to find in such a well connected Bath location.

Inside, the same sense of practicality continues. Natural light flows throughout the ground floor, while glazed doors from both the principal reception room and kitchen create a seamless connection with the garden beyond. During the warmer months, everyday life naturally spills outdoors, whether entertaining friends, enjoying family meals or simply taking advantage of a quiet sunny afternoon.

The kitchen and dining space has been thoughtfully designed for modern living, with soft sage cabinetry, integrated appliances and direct access to the garden. A particularly useful utility room and cloakroom provide the sort of practical storage and separation that busy households quickly come to appreciate. Underfloor heating throughout the ground floor ensures comfort throughout the seasons.

Upstairs, three genuine double bedrooms offer comfortable and flexible accommodation. The principal suite provides a calm and comfortable retreat, with fitted wardrobes helping to keep the room uncluttered and a contemporary ensuite shower room creating a little extra privacy from the rest of the household. The remaining bedrooms are served by a stylish family bathroom finished to an equally high standard.

Life here extends well beyond the front door. Sydney Gardens, one of Bath's most beautiful green spaces, is just a short stroll away, offering parkland walks, tennis courts, a popular children's play area and direct access to the Kennet & Avon Canal. The Holburne Museum and its café provide another favourite local destination, whether for a quiet coffee, lunch with friends or an afternoon immersed in art and culture.

For those who work remotely, the nearby Bath Spa Hotel offers an elegant change of scenery. Many local residents make use of its welcoming lounges and excellent facilities for informal meetings, focused work or simply a few hours away from the home office, while its renowned spa provides the perfect place to unwind at the end of the day.

The location is particularly appealing for families, with some of Bath's most sought after schools within easy reach, including the public King Edward's School (walkable distance), Kingswood, Prior Park, Monkton Combe and the Royal High School as well as of the excellent state schools in the city with Bathwick's renowned St. Mary Primary school within walking distance.

Bath has no shortage of beautiful places to live. Holburne Park offers something rather different: the opportunity to enjoy the city's next chapter while remaining part of its story. It is a neighbourhood that feels entirely at home in Bath, not because it is old, but because it belongs here.
