Nicholls Place, Bath, BA1 2RE

Tucked away in a peaceful pedestrian setting on Bath’s highly regarded lower Lansdown slopes, Nicholls Cottage is a wonderfully characterful and unexpectedly spacious double-fronted period cottage. Occupying a quiet corner between St Mary’s Church and the elegant Georgian terrace of Belvedere, the property enjoys a particularly attractive position opposite Hedgemead Park and Gardens, yet is within easy walking distance of the city centre.

Beautifully presented throughout, the cottage combines period charm with thoughtfully updated accommodation. A pretty entrance hall leads down to a cloakroom and onwards into an impressive formal drawing room. This elegant principal reception room retains a handsome period fireplace and features a recently installed double-glazed picture window, framing a lovely outlook across the garden.

From the drawing room, the accommodation flows naturally into an attractive dining conservatory, creating a light and sociable space with direct access to the garden. Steps rise from here to the well-appointed kitchen/breakfast room, providing a practical and inviting heart to the home.

The first floor provides two bedrooms, including a particularly impressive primary bedroom suite. The master bedroom benefits from a dedicated dressing area and en-suite bathroom, while the second bedroom is served by its own en-suite shower room.

One of the property's most appealing features is the beautifully enclosed walled courtyard garden. Accessed directly from the dining conservatory, this secluded Mediterranean-style garden has been thoughtfully landscaped by a professional garden designer and is arranged as three distinct terraces. Well stocked with established planting and enjoying views towards the neighbouring church, it provides a delightful and surprisingly private outdoor retreat.

Adding considerable versatility is a separate external annexe/artist’s studio. Recently re-roofed and damp-proofed, the studio has been fitted with bespoke wardrobes and shelving and offers excellent potential for a range of uses, subject to any necessary consents. It could provide a generous home office, creative studio, gym or additional living accommodation, with scope to introduce a kitchenette, plumbing and bathroom facilities if desired.

Nicholls Place itself is a particularly peaceful pedestrian-only setting, discreetly positioned just off Lansdown Road. Despite its quiet and tucked-away atmosphere, the property is remarkably convenient, with Bath city centre approximately five minutes’ walk away. The property also has permit parking.

Lansdown is renowned as one of Bath’s premier residential locations, situated less than 2 miles from the city centre and close to some of the city’s top schools, including the Royal High School for Girls, Kingswood School, and St Stephen’s Primary. Local amenities include the Hare and Hounds Pub, The Lansdown Golf Club, Bath Racecourse, and the Lansdown Squash and Tennis Club. Bath itself is a UNESCO World Heritage site, renowned for its cultural, leisure, and sporting facilities, as well as its stunning natural surroundings. The City Centre is a short stroll away, while the estate offers easy access to the M4 (J18),  Bristol Airport, the Cotswolds and beyond. Bath Spa Railway Station offers a high-speed train service to both London Paddington (approx. 90 mins) and Bristol Temple Meads (approx. 10 mins)
