Wellsway, Bath, BA2

Setting the scene

Situated on Wellsway in Bath, this well-positioned home enjoys an enviable location between the popular Bear Flat and the amenities of Odd Down. Just a short stroll down the hill brings you to the bohemian Bear Flat, where you'll find a range of convenient shops including Tesco, Co-op, local independents, an Italian deli, and the acclaimed Menu Gordon Jones restaurant.

Head up the hill and Odd Down offers further essentials, including Sainsbury’s, a Post Office, leisure centre, GP surgery, and extensive sports facilities. What’s more, for those who enjoy countryside walks and charming destinations, the renowned Packhorse pub—a beautifully restored, historic inn—is a perfect treat at the end of a scenic walk through nearby South Stoke, or just a 10-minute drive from the doorstep.

Wellsway also benefits from plenty of green space right on their doorstep, including the old golf course that is a stones throw away, and popular with dog walkers, and the Odd Down cycle track situated behind the property, you will never be without accessible local walks.

This location is ideal for both families and commuters. The property lies within the catchment area of several of Bath’s highly regarded secondary schools, including St Gregory’s, Ralph Allen, Beechen Cliff, and Hayesfield—making it a smart choice for those looking to settle in a well-connected, family-friendly neighbourhood.

Commuters will benefit from excellent transport links, with frequent bus services (every 10–15 minutes) running in both directions along Wellsway, and Bath Spa railway station under two miles away. From here, direct trains connect you to London in approximately 1 hour 20 minutes and to Bristol in just 10 minutes.

This Property

Part of a characterful former farmhouse that has since been divided into two individual properties, this charming two-bedroom home retains a wealth of original features while offering generous, versatile accommodation throughout.

The property is entered via an inviting hallway, where original stone steps and flooring immediately reflect the building’s heritage. The kitchen is well equipped with stainless-steel worktops, an electric hob and oven, and a large pantry providing excellent storage. Stable-style doors open onto the outdoor space, while a Worcester boiler, installed in October 2025, is also housed within the room.

From the kitchen, carpeted stairs descend into the tanked under croft, which is currently used as a characterful dining room. This unusual, atmospheric space also contains an unlockable safe passed down from owner to owner, adding an interesting reminder of the property’s history.

The spacious living room benefits from high ceilings, original coving and a feature fireplace, with fitted storage positioned on either side. Bare floorboards enhance its traditional character, while the double-glazed sash window brings in plenty of natural light. A useful adjoining utility room houses a washer-dryer and fridge-freezer, alongside built-in shelving for further storage.

Upstairs, a skylight floods the stairwell with natural light and creates a bright, welcoming approach to the first-floor accommodation. The generously proportioned master bedroom features high ceilings, a large sash window and two wardrobes neatly built into the alcoves. The second bedroom is another bright and well-proportioned room that can comfortably accommodate a double bed, making it equally suitable as a guest room, nursery or home office. A useful storage cupboard is conveniently positioned on the landing beside this room.

The partially tiled bathroom is fitted with a modern white suite, including a panelled bath with a waterfall shower overhead, a washbasin with storage beneath and a heated towel rail. Further practical storage is available within the boarded loft.

Externally, the property benefits from parking to the rear, with additional unrestricted, non-permit on-street parking available to the front. Altogether, this distinctive home offers an appealing combination of historic charm, comfortable living space and everyday convenience.
