Property for sale in Bath BA1, 3 Bedroom

St. Winifred’s Well Cottage is a grade II listed property, believed to have been built c. 1804. St Winifred was a 7th Century Welsh martyr who was associated with attributing healing powers to springs and wells. St. Winifred's Well is reputed to be within the grounds of nearby Bath College and the cottage is thought to be named after the well. A carved stone relief on the front of the house beautifully depicts St. Winifred.

Winifred's Lane is located on the upper slopes of Lansdown, one of the most sought after areas in the unesco world heritage city of Bath. Located just above Sion Hill and Somerset Place, in an attractive leafy area of Bath with beautiful homes and attractive countryside close by. The cultural and retail attractions of Bath city centre are within a half a mile, including The Royal Crescent and local amenities on St. Jame's Square. This location is favoured for the excellent local schools that include independent co-education Kingswood School and the independent Royal High School for girls.
