3 bed end terrace house for sale

Clarendon Road, Widcombe BA2

Nestled behind a discreet entrance, Providence Cottage offers a perfect blend of city living and cottage charm. The living accommodation is thoughtfully designed on the garden level to maximize light and space. Arranged across just two floors this is a rare find. The living accommodation is situated on the garden level with an open plan sitting and dining room with fireplaces at each end plus windows and a glazed door opening out onto the attractive garden, providing an ideal space for summer entertaining. The adjacent kitchen is fitted with shaker style units and integral appliances. An extension has added a home office with double doors leading out to the garden. The third bedroom and en-suite shower room is also on the garden level with the two further double bedrooms and bathroom on the upper ground floor.

Outside

The garden has been created with three levels of garden ‘rooms’. The first can be accessed directly from the sitting room, a stone pennant terrace adjacent to the living accommodation with glazed doors opening out, ideal for indoor-outdoor living. It is laid with pennant stones with a border of evergreen hedge. A few steps down the second terrace is accessed from the side of the house and has raised beds surrounding the perfect dining area. There is a pleasant aspect over Widcombe to the greenery beyond. Attractive planting and climbers scrambling up the stone walls and archway add colour and scent. The last level with its soft landscaping has a central path flanked by lawn and enclosed by hedging and walling with additional flower beds. There is a pedestrian gate to a path used by just a few houses that leads down to Prior Park Road providing a short cut to the city centre.

Situation

Widcombe is a fashionable area of Bath within walking distance to Bath Spa railway station and the city centre. The popular independent shops, bars and businesses of Widcombe Parade add to the appeal of this desirable address. There is a wine bar, a popular pub which has recently incorporated the Widcombe Deli into it, as well as a florist, convenience store, doctors, dentist, architects practice and coffee shop. It also benefits from a rural quality being close to National Trust land including the gardens and famous Palladian Bridge of Prior Park. From Clarendon Road, there is a very pretty walk along Church Lane to St Thomas à Becket Church, the Kennet and Avon canal is also nearby, perfect for walkers and cyclists alike. Bath University is located at the top of the hill. There is a pedestrian bridge at the end of Widcombe Parade crossing the River Avon and leading directly into Bath Spa railway station. Alternatively, one can enjoy a walk past the cricket ground and Parade Gardens towards the Abbey and on to the excellent cultural and leisure amenities including many fine restaurants, specialist shops, museums, art galleries and theatres, that Bath has to offer.
