Beautiful homes for sale in Bath right now


Updated on 29 August 2018 | 0 Comments

Set in the sprawling Somerset countryside and packed with cosy cottages and gorgeous Georgian buildings, what's not to love about the blissful city of Bath?

It’s been a famous wellbeing destination for centuries, so it’s little surprise that the city of Bath also proves a wonderful place to live. With so much of the city perched on a gradient, you’ll always benefit from amazing views of the surrounding Somerset countryside.

However, a rural idyll this is not. Packed with culture, entertainment, shops, museums and galleries, Bath attracts a huge amount of London buyers. Throw in those honey-stoned Georgian buildings, quaint tearooms, year-round festivals and of course the famous Roman baths, and you’ve got a pretty incredible place to call home.

There’s a truly diverse property scene here too. Take your pick from imposing estates, cosy country cottages, smart townhouses and chic central apartments. With an average house price of £468,104 it’s not the cheapest place to buy a pile of bricks, but it’s certainly one of the greatest. Here are some of our favourite residences on the market right now… 

Connaught Mansions, Great Pulteney Street, £300,000

As a first floor apartment, this sweet one-bed home in an iconic grade 1 listed building has easy access to Bath city centre. With lift access and a private numbered parking space, it's ideal for those with young children, lugging a buggy about.

A well-proportioned home, it offers an 18ft living room, kitchen, bedroom and bathroom. Close to the world famous Pulteney Bridge, The Holburne Museum and Great Pulteney Street, you won’t be short of things to do and see! 

On the market with Allen & Harris.

Gladstone Place, Combe Down, £450,000

Bath isn’t short of a pretty home or two, and this immaculate three-bedroom cottage certainly qualifies. Found on the southern slopes of Bath in the village of Combe Down, the home affords panoramic views of the city, as well as a terrific outlook over the Cotswold valleys.

Recently renovated, the interior is just as attractive with geometric tiled flooring in the entrance hall and an open fireplace in the living room. Monduleo wood-effect flooring runs throughout the ground floor, while a large level garden and patio provide the ideal spot for alfresco entertaining. It's the perfect ready-to-go property for anyone looking to move straight in.

On the market with Tynings.

One-bedroom apartment, Royal Crescent, £500,000

Addresses don’t come any grander than this fantastic Georgian crescent. From its elevated position on the top floor of the iconic Grade I Georgian building, the home enjoys a fantastic city outlook.

The property is one of 30 homes that form a semi-ellipse, arranged around an expansive lawn that's communally owned by the householders. On the inside, the apartment has been attractively modernised yet retains many original period features, such as ornate cornicing, a decorative fireplace and sash windows with working shutters.

Elsewhere, a south-facing courtyard is a sublime spot to enjoy breakfast – on a Sunday you can even hear the band on Royal Avenue!

On the market with Fine & Country.

Chestnut Cottage, Packhorse Lane, £695,000

Just outside the city in the quintessential village of South Stoke, this period four-bedroom cottage stuns with incredible country views.

This wonderfully traditional home has been cleverly adapted for modern family living, with bi-fold doors to the garden, underfloor heating and a two-storey extension to the side.

You’ll be spoilt for choice when it comes to countryside walks in this area, and we can also highly recommend the local pub, The Packhorse!

On the market with Fine & Country.

Five-bedroom Terrace, Cavandish Crescent, £2,500,000

This is an exciting opportunity to own a slice of a very prestigious city centre address. Most stunning crescent townhouses of this kind were converted into flats during the 20th century so it’s unusual to find a complete property like this one, that offers a whopping five bedrooms!

A pretty canopy porch and broad paneled front door welcome you into the striking residence, where sash windows, above-arch cornices and fine chimneypieces are abundant at every angle. We just love the magnificent stone staircase with mahogany handrail, that rises to the upper floors.

Also of note are the stunning first-floor drawing rooms; light floods in and the views across the Approach Golf Course to the south-west are superb.

On the market with Savills.
