If you are in search of a home which sits of the edge of beautiful countryside yet is just a hop skip and a jump away from Bath’s vibrant city centre, great schools and Bath University then The Hollies is well worth considering. Built in the 1980s as a three-bedroom single storey building it sits back from elevated Claverton Down Road on the southeast side of Bath within a large private enclosed plot featuring lawns shaded by a spectacular beech tree. It also boasts a sunny courtyard, raised flowerbeds, a garage with power and attached store and a drive suitable for several cars. Making it feel much like a country home is its proximity to Rainbow Woods, acres of open countryside and woodland and the stunning Avon Valley. ‘Considering it is so well connected to town – buses servicing the area for students and residents run around the clock pretty much all year-year-round – it is a surprisingly quiet place to live,’ says the owner, who adds, ‘my parents moved here fifteen years ago having previously lived in a self-built woodland property in Norfolk. They wanted to find somewhere which gave them the same sense of peace and space and that lovely, dappled light one gets when living surrounded by trees.’ Enclosed by stone walling and a laurel hedge, one side of the property sits adjacent to the Bath Skyline Walk, a three-mile circular route from Bath city centre out to the countryside.

‘The Hollies is located within the Claverton Down, an area of Bath with a strong community feel, and is walking distance from the University, American Museum, Wessex Water offices, Combe Grove health and wellbeing centre, Bath Clinic and Ralph Allen School. It’s a roughly twenty-minute walk down hill to the city.’

‘Excellent state and independent schools can be easily reached on foot or by car and public transport.’

‘The principal bedroom with en-suite is positioned at the back and side of the house with a double aspect and French doors which open up to the private courtyard.’

‘Both the house and garden are relaxing places to be and it’s a great place to retreat to.’

‘The neighbours are all nice friendly people.’

‘The house itself is comfortable and well insulated while the area is ideal for walkers and nature lovers.’

‘The Hollies is ripe for refurbishment or, with the necessary permissions, upscaling. It would also make a great downsizing home and be suitable for a young family’
