About this property

Willow Cottage is the most stunning three bedroom period home, close to the wonderful atmosphere of Widcombe Parade with its choice of shops and bars. Beautifully refurbished and executed in recent years, the interior design and landscaped garden will appeal to so many who want a charming home full of character within walking distance to the city.

Behind a discreet entrance, off one of the most sought after roads in Widcombe, is Willow Cottage. Arranged across just two floors this is a rare find. The three bedrooms are located off the entrance hall, all beautifully designed and presented. The principal bedroom benefits from a smart en-suite shower, and the family shower room is once again thoughtfully planned including fixtures from the luxury bathroom company; The Water Monopoly. The living accommodation is situated on the garden level with an open plan kitchen, dining and sitting room with double doors opening out onto the attractive garden. The kitchen is of note, created by DeVOL kitchens of London and New York, with a newly opened showroom in Bath. ‘The Haberdasher’s Kitchen’ is handmade to suit the layout and space, providing a bespoke kitchen. The cool black and white marble tiles with underfloor heating lead to oak parquet floors in the sitting area, special column radiators add a further feature and two pairs of double doors open out directly to the dining terrace. There is an additional cosy sitting room, which utilises a large bay window as an office/dining area, and includes a wood burning stove for these autumnal nights. At the rear, an arched vault has the benefit of a marble tiled floor again with underfloor heating housing the utility area. It leads into a further marble tiled vault, which is organised as a larder, pantry and housekeeping zone, with space for further wine fridges and fridge freezers.

Outside
The garden has been landscaped and designed with four generous terraces with multiple dining options, including a stone pennant dining terrace adjacent to the living accommodation with doors opening out making it perfect for entertaining and relaxing. There are two steps to a level lawn and then a gravel terrace includes an attractive planting scheme and central gravelled sitting area. At the far end is a greenhouse, as well as space to erect a home office. Extensive exterior brass lighting has been added throughout. The last level is planted out with seasonal planting with an ancient low hung Mulberry Tree taking centre stage.

Situation
Widcombe is known as a fashionable and popular artisan quarter of Bath with the shops, bars and independent businesses all offering a certain creativity, style and artistry about them. Widcombe Parade in one direction benefits from a variety of shops including a delicatessen, florist, framers and coffee shop. To cover home-life needs, there is an architect’s studio, a fireplace specialist and a bespoke curtain shop. The Parade offers a choice of three public houses including the popular White Hart. On a practical note, there is also a small supermarket, dentist, pharmacist and doctor’s surgery. A walk in the opposite direction leads you to the National Trust Prior Park Gardens, Rainbow Woods and the Cotswold Way. Prior Park Garden Centre is also nearby, a garden nursery and now includes a giftware shop, a café and farm shop. Bath University is located at the top of the hill. Also nearby is the well-regarded Widcombe Primary school and the independent Paragon and Prior Park schools, Beechen Cliff, all within walking distance. A major point is the short walk to Bath Spa Railway Station offering an excellent main line service, but also within equal distance is glorious rolling countryside. From the station, a level walk continues into the city centre itself, providing excellent cultural and leisure amenities including many fine restaurants, specialist shops, museums, art galleries and theatres.
