Worcester Villas, Bath, BA1

This handsome Grade II Listed Georgian style cottage combines period character with beautifully considered contemporary living. Arranged over three floors, the accommodation has a wonderfully sociable feel, with the ground floor centred around a sleek bespoke kitchen, featuring clean lines, open shelving and a generous island. The window overlooking the front garden brings the outside in. Wooden flooring flows seamlessly through to the dining area. A small home office sits just off the dining area. At courtyard level, a further reception room (currently used as a sitting room) offers a wealth of period character, including two Bath stone fireplaces, making it an inviting space in which to relax or entertain. A useful utility room and cloakroom add practicality. The first floor provides two double bedrooms, both enjoying attractive outlooks. The front bedroom benefits from a central fireplace, bespoke cabinetry and far-reaching views towards Larkhall, while the rear bedroom again with fireplace looks across the neighbouring school fields towards the hills beyond. A stylish bathroom completes this floor. Throughout, the original Bath stone, sash windows and glazing bars sit comfortably alongside the crisp, contemporary detailing.

Outside

Approached via a private lane and benefiting from two parking spaces conveniently positioned close to the pedestrian entrance of the rear garden. The front garden is approached through handsome stone pillars, wrought-iron railings and mature hedging. Pennant flagstone paving provides an inviting place for morning coffee or alfresco dining, while mature shrubs and seasonal planting bring colour, texture and privacy. To the rear, the garden unfolds with a small courtyard, accessed directly from the lower-ground reception room, leading up to a ground floor terrace. Enclosed by fencing and established climbers the garden leads up to a further area, perfect for an additional seating area or planting with the wonderful trees of the neighbouring school grounds.

Situation

Worcester Villas benefits from an enviable position in the north-east of Bath, nestled between the sought-after neighbourhoods of Camden and Larkhall. One of the great attractions of the area is the combination of easy access to open countryside with the convenience of being within walking distance of Larkhall’s much-loved independent shops, cafés and restaurants. Often described as a ‘village within the city’, Larkhall has a wonderfully strong community feel, with an excellent selection of local amenities including a traditional butcher, grocer, delicatessen, French bistro, small supermarket and local theatre. Fairfield Park is also close by, with its convenient corner shop and pub. The area is particularly well served for schooling, with a choice of local primary schools including St Stephen’s Church of England Primary School and St Saviour’s, together with St Mark’s secondary school. For those who enjoy walking, the house is approximately 1.2 miles from Milsom Street, bringing Bath’s elegant city centre within easy reach on foot, while regular bus services provide an alternative means of travel. Bath offers an exceptional blend of architectural heritage, culture and leisure. The city is renowned for its historic landmarks, alongside an impressive choice of restaurants, specialist shops, museums, galleries and theatres. For commuters, Bath Spa railway station provides direct services to London Paddington, while Junction 18 of the M4 is approximately 10 miles to the north.
