The Property - This fine Georgian townhouse is Grade II Listed, being of special architectural or historical interest. Arranged over three floors and having a been upgraded in recent years by its current owner, the accommodation is offered in good order throughout with a high degree of flexibility.
The property is entered at ground floor level where, off the hallway is an formal dining room overlooking the beautiful enclosed garden to the front with plantation shutters. At the rear of the property is a hand made Neptune kitchen with solid wood cabinetry, composite stone worksurfaces and built-in appliances, all of which overlooks the rear garden. At the rear and giving access to outside is a fully equipped utility room with windows overlooking the garden.
Upstairs on the first floor landing is the superb fitted period style bathroom with modern Burlington sanitary ware and very attractive patterned tiled flooring. To the front of the property at this level is the beautiful drawing room with sash windows and plantation shutters, period cornicing, a marble fireplace and a high quality wood burning stove. Bedroom three, which is also on this floor has built-in cupboards and lovely west facing views.
At second floor level there are two further bedrooms, one to the front with a large set of fitted wardrobes and the second rear bedroom has an en suite cloakroom. Particularly from the second floor at the rear of the house one can enjoy the splendid views out across the City.
Externally, the delightful enclosed walled garden is relatively private and has been arranged for ease of maintenance, comprising two patio areas, raised flowerbeds and a small lawn. In the summer, both gardens are filled with flowers and the back garden has a good herb variety and is very bee friendly. Parking is available on Prior Park Road with a Resident's Parking Permit for Zone 3.
The Situation - Prior Park Cottages, formerly known as Prior Park Place in the 1840s and 1850s, is a stepped terrace, pleasantly situated just a short stroll away from the array of local shops and amenities in Widcombe, yet at the same time occupying a quiet tucked-away position in a small no-through road within the Conservation Area.
The train station is 10 minutes' walk away and it's 90 minutes to London Paddington. Also close by is the very famous Prior Park, including Prior Park School. This is a national trust site and contains one of only four Palladian bridges in the world. This area is absolutely amazing for dog walking and the twin tunnels are a short cycle away too. It's only a short 10 minutes' walk away from the Bath Skyline, a six-mile circular route encompassing beautiful woodlands and meadows, an Iron Age hill fort, Roman settlements, 18th-century follies and spectacular views. A walker's paradise!
The canal side towpath is only a couple of minutes away and you can actually cycle all the way from Bath to Reading on this path, but from Prior Park Cottages it's a stunning 30 minute cycle to the Dundas Aqueduct, a 40-minute cycle to Avoncliff, and 90 minutes Caen Hill Locks at Devizes.
