Mews house for sale in Bath BA1, 2 Bedroom

A detached mews house in a sought-after area, just 1.2 miles from the heart of Bath. The Mews House is deceptively spacious, comprising two reception rooms, two double bedrooms and a useful utility room, together with a delightful south-facing courtyard garden. One of five individually styled mews houses, it is quietly located in a conservation area just off Weston Road and less than a five-minute walk to the beautiful Royal Victoria Park.

The vendor says; "When we first came to Bath in 2002, we initially rented the house while we searched for a property to buy. After seeing more than forty properties, we begged the landlord to consider selling The Mews House to us as we realised we had inadvertently hit the jackpot both in terms of location and the house itself. It is very quiet but also close to Bath town centre. The house is Grade 11 listed as it comes under the curtilage of the Georgian house behind it and yet it was only actually built in 1987 - on the site of the old stable block. Clad in Bath stone, it has all the charm of an old building, but none of the problems."

In terms of layout, the vendor says: "On entering our house, you step into a small hallway, with hanging space for coats etc. And, to the right, is a utility room with a washer/dryer, toilet, basin and cabinets. For me, one of the house's selling points was its bright and spacious dining room with French doors to the courtyard garden; we put in the oak flooring when we first bought it. The kitchen is off the dining room, via an archway, and comprises dishwasher, built-in oven and hob, cream gloss cabinets and a Porcelanosa-tiled floor. The garden is a south-facing little bundle of loveliness – and a great suntrap. Flowers grow really well due to its sheltered aspect and we've filled it with all varieties– we put in the raised flower bed and laid the bath stone paving slabs. The garden comfortably seats six to eight people for barbecues but with the french doors open into the dining space, there's room for so many more and it's been the scene of countless parties!"

"Upstairs there is a stunning vaulted sitting room. There are three windows all facing South and two Velux windows to the North, it is really bright – which is important to us. We put in a gas-fired stove in this room - a real focal point and cosy in winter – and, about three years ago, installed a Worcester combi boiler, at the same time as having our bathroom re-done. As well as the living room and bathroom, upstairs there are two double bedrooms, airing cupboard and loft."

"The house would suit so many people: For pet owners, the location of the house down a private lane in a quiet cul-de-sac is ideal; for foodies, there are five pubs all serving good food within a ten-minute walk - our favourites being the Marlborough Tavern and The Victoria Kitchen; for finer dining, there's the Priory Hotel, literally just across the road ; for fitness lovers there's Victoria Park and the Cotswold Way on our doorstep, together with the wonderful Two Tunnels cycle trail, the river and the old railway line track all the way to Bristol."

"The Royal Crescent is only 0.7 miles away and all the shops, bars, galleries, restaurants and beautiful buildings of Bath are nearby. Not forgetting the area of St James's, by the Royal Crescent, which has a great deli, green grocer and the famed St James's Wine Vaults for jazz and live gigs. Weston Village is an easy walk too. And the bus to town goes from the bottom of our road."

"While it is all about location, location, location, our house is a quirky little gem too!"
