Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
Hidden away in the countryside surrounding the city of Bath, this home can't be accused of not making the most of this bucolic location. In the main communal space, there are floor-to-ceiling windows running around the walls, which look out to views of Solsbury Hill and rolling fields. There's also a balcony accessed from this space, so you can enjoy the peaceful panorama with a breeze on your face. Back inside, the kitchen is large enough to allow for several guests to be involved in cooking up a storm at once and the electric blinds can create the perfect setting for a post-dinner movie. Outside, you'll find a grassy garden for kids to run around, although the Cotswolds AONB lies to the north if you're after a bit more space to bound around in. Bath and its myriad historic attractions only takes twelve minutes to reach in the car, too.
