The kitchen knits the ground floor accommodation together beautifully, occupying the eastern extension and is designed in an elegant shaker style, featuring an electric Aga, quartz worktops and a central lantern that floods the room with natural light. The room has a triple aspect, with notable views of the garden. There are two doors opening onto the garden to the rear and the side giving a charming outlook towards the Coach House and creating a strong connection between indoor and outdoor living.
Upstairs, the first floor is arranged around three superb bedrooms. The principal suite spans the entire rear of the house, capitalising on the exceptional views and offering a luxurious en suite bathroom and a spacious dressing room. The remaining two bedrooms are both excellent doubles; one benefits from an en suite cloakroom. A large family bathroom sits off the landing, complemented by an additional separate shower room.
On the lower ground floor, the cellar has been comprehensively refurbished. Limestone flooring with underfloor heating creates a beautifully practical space that includes a stylish utility room and a characterful cellar retaining its original wine bins — a perfect blend of contemporary comfort and historical charm.
Garden and Grounds
The gardens at Spa Villa are truly exceptional and it is from the garden that the beauty of Spa Villa is best noted, with Doric columns framing the rear façade with classic Georgian symmetry. Occupying a rare and generous double plot, the garden enhances the house’s presence on Bathwick Hill and creates an outstanding sense of space. The landscaped grounds feature elegant topiary, mature and flourishing flower beds, and a large flat lawn, once a tennis court. The views are among the finest in Bath, stretching west over the National Trust meadows. A gate from the garden provides direct access to these beautiful open spaces. In addition, there is gated off street parking for numerous vehicles.
The Coach House
Set within the garden, the Coach House has been converted by the current owners with the same level of care and precision evident throughout the main villa. The first floor provides a beautifully finished bedroom with an en suite shower room, while the ground floor offers a bright living/garden room opening on to the garden, a separate WC and a further flexible room ideal as a gym or additional bedroom. The Coach House provides perfect ancillary accommodation for guests and/or an excellent workspace.
Location
Bathwick Hill is widely regarded as one of Bath’s most desirable residential addresses. Spa Villa occupies a superb position on the southwestern side of the hill, enjoying an excellent outlook across Bathwick Fields, National Trust farmland that protects the open rural setting. The views extend towards Prior Park and Widcombe, with the City of Bristol visible in the distance.
The location is exceptionally convenient for several well-regarded schools, including King Edward’s, Prior Park and Monkton Combe, as well as Bath University and The American Museum. The city centre lies within half a mile and offers an extensive range of shops and amenities, from restaurants and cafés to the Theatre Royal, Bath Sports Centre and the Thermae Spa. Just below the house, open countryside provides access to numerous beautiful walks, an appealing contrast to its proximity to the heart of the city.
Transport connections are excellent, with a mainline rail service to London Paddington (approximately 75 minutes) and Bristol Temple Meads (around 15 minutes). Junction 18 of the M4 is about 10 miles to the north.
