There is a frequent bus service into the centre of Bath (some 3 or so miles away) whilst the M4 can easily be accessed without having to cross the city.
Directions


Enter Northend from Batheaston and continue for about half a mile. The house will be found on your left hand side, beyond Eagle Park and just as the road dips down.
