Full Description: There is a calmness to this house that is difficult to capture until you spend time here.<br /><br />Set on the eastern edge of Bath, where the city begins to give way to open countryside, this substantial Victorian home combines generous family space with far reaching views, beautifully established gardens and a lifestyle that feels both connected and quietly removed from the pace of everyday life.<br /><br />Arranged across five floors and extending to over 2,700 sq ft including the detached studio, the house has evolved thoughtfully over the years. The result is a home that works exceptionally well for modern family life while retaining the proportions, character and ceiling heights that make Victorian houses so enduringly popular.<br /><br />Daily life naturally revolves around the kitchen and dining space. It is a room that brings people together, whether that’s breakfast with the morning news, baking sourdough, helping with homework, entertaining friends over dinner or simply sitting with the doors open and enjoying the view. Even during warmer weather, this part of the house remains pleasantly cool, making it a comfortable place to spend time throughout the day.<br /><br />The drawing room above provides a different atmosphere altogether. Filled with natural light from its double aspect windows, it offers a quieter retreat for evenings spent reading, relaxing or watching the changing seasons unfold across the valley beyond. In winter, the house feels particularly welcoming, with log burners adding warmth and character to long evenings at home.<br /><br />The flexible layout creates opportunities for the way people live today. The study offers a dedicated space for working from home, sewing projects or creative pursuits, while the detached studio and garden room provide further options for hobbies, guest accommodation, fitness, teenagers seeking independence or future home office use. Full fibre broadband is installed and mobile coverage has proved reliable throughout ownership.<br /><br />Outside, the gardens have been carefully designed to create a series of distinct spaces rather than one large area. Morning coffee is often enjoyed on the breakfast terrace near the studio, while meals move naturally to the upper deck overlooking the garden. The middle terrace swing catches the evening light beautifully, while a shaded patio below provides relief on hotter days.<br /><br />The garden itself is a significant part of the home’s appeal. Productive vegetable borders sit alongside lawns for children and dogs to enjoy, while mature planting creates a sense of privacy rarely found so close to the city. Throughout the summer months, hot air balloons regularly drift across the skyline, creating a view that never seems to lose its charm.<br /><br />For those who enjoy an active outdoor lifestyle, some of Bath’s most loved walks are on the doorstep. Routes lead past the rugby fields, along the River Avon, through woodland paths and towards Batheaston, Bathampton and the weir. Gather in Batheaston has become a favourite stop for coffee and brunch, while The Mill offers riverside dining and one of the area’s most attractive pub gardens.<br /><br />The location strikes a balance that many buyers search for but rarely find. There is easy access into Bath city centre, straightforward connections towards the M4, Box and Corsham, and excellent access to well regarded local schools including Batheaston and Bathampton. It is a setting that works equally well for growing families, professionals working from home and those seeking more space without losing connection to the city.<br /><br />What the current owners will miss most is difficult to narrow down. The views. The tranquillity of the garden. The sense of space created by the high ceilings and large rooms. But perhaps most of all, it is the feeling of being surrounded by nature while still being part of Bath. It is a home that has adapted beautifully to every stage of family life and offers the same opportunity for those who come next.
