Built into a hillside and wrapped in huge gardens, this stone and glass home offers a stylish and tranquil stay close to Bath city centre. Located off Lyncombe Hill, this gated property is close to shops and eateries at Widcombe Parade (0.5 miles), while it’s just over half a mile downhill into Bath city centre. This UNESCO World Heritage city has a wealth of attractions, from the Roman Baths and medieval Abbey to its glorious Georgian architecture exemplified in Royal Crescent and The Circle. Book lovers can visit the Jane Austen Centre, and if you need a little pampering delve into the piping-hot pools of the Thermae Bath Spa. There are plenty of city walks too, from Bath Skyline to the Kennet and Avon Canal Path.

Driving in through the gates, this luxurious property has a definite wow factor with its impressive, glass-fronted facade. Take your pick between two entrances, one on the ground floor and the second via the garden to the main living area. An open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner on the first floor forms the sociable heart of this property. Surrounded by a covered balcony with windows on three walls, this light and spacious room features a lounge with a fireplace and a TV and entertainment area, plus a large dining table for meals with a view. Bi-fold doors open to the balcony with more tables and chairs for al fresco dining. The adjoining kitchen features white cabinets, high-end appliances, and panoramic windows. The two bedrooms are also on this level. The master suite features a super-king-size bed, an en-suite shower room and doors leading outside, while the second room has twin zip-and-link beds plus a Jack and Jill bathroom. Downstairs, an open-plan space with seating, another table and chairs, a desk and a trundle bed offers space for an additional two guests on request. There’s also a shower room and a utility room.

The property is surrounded by a mature grassy garden and has parking for four cars.

I cannot recommend this place enough! Perfect for a small group. Beautiful home with everything you need. Relaxing patio and garden, plenty of parking, easy walk to Bath centre or a shorter walk for local services and bars all while feeling you are away in the countryside. Thanks so much for hosting us we all really enjoyed our experience.

Had a lovely few days at this beautiful house. Great location for us. Walkable to town centre but so peaceful with great views. Great communication from host and house equipped with everything you could need. We would love to return in the future.
