21, Manor Road, Bath, BA1 4BW

Life here flows easily between the best of Bath and a quiet, private place to come home to. There is a real harmony between convenience and seclusion here.

Weston Village and Chelsea Road are both close at hand, Bath city centre and the ruh are easily reached on foot, and yet once you’re home, the house and its private garden feel comfortably removed from the pace of the city.

The house has been shaped around everyday routines rather than special occasions. Mornings begin differently depending on the season.

A quiet cup of tea in the kitchen before the day starts, moving into the lounge through the colder months or out onto the patio once the weather warms.

After work, shoes come off in the hallway and life slows naturally, whether that’s reading on the sofa, sharing dinner outside or simply enjoying the garden.

The separate kitchen is something the current owners have always valued. It keeps cooking where it belongs while allowing the lounge and dining space to remain somewhere to properly switch off.

In summer the patio becomes another room altogether, used for everything from breakfast to barbecues, helped by the south facing garden that feels surprisingly private thanks to its sunken position, paved patio area and enclosed boundaries.

The sun arrives early, making it an easy place to start the day, before gradually giving way to welcome shade later in the afternoon. Inside, the house stays comfortable throughout the year.

Even on the hottest days the lounge remains noticeably cooler than outside, making it a pleasant place to escape the heat.

During winter, underfloor heating across the ground floor provides an even warmth that is cosy without ever feeling overheated, while the zoned gas central heating keeps running costs sensible.

The owners typically switch the heating off completely between May and October. Arranged over three floors, the layout gives flexibility without wasting space.

The lounge and dining room naturally become the heart of the home, while the upper floors provide three double bedrooms and three bathrooms (two en-suite), making everyday life straightforward whether you’re sharing with family, welcoming guests or working different schedules.

The top floor is especially peaceful, sitting above neighbouring rooflines and making an ideal guest suite or a quiet main bedroom.

The second bedroom has also proved to be an excellent place for working from home in the past, with reliable broadband available and faster full fibre already having been connected previously.

Practical details have been thoughtfully considered too. Off street parking for two cars sits directly alongside the property with ready potential for an EV charger.

Water pressure is excellent, there’s useful external storage in the purpose built shed for bikes and outdoor equipment, and LED lighting throughout has helped keep day to day running costs low.

Living here is as much about the neighbourhood as the house itself.

Weston Village offers everyday essentials within walking distance, while Chelsea Road has become a favourite for coffee, lunch and independent shops.

Beckford’s Tower, Kelston Round Hill and the Cotswold Way all provide regular walking routes and Bath city centre is around a 30 minute walk through Victoria Park.

For medical professionals, the short walk to the ruh removes the daily commute without feeling as though you live beside the hospital.

More than anything, this has been a home that has made everyday life feel straightforward.

The owners know they’ll miss the convenience, the genuinely friendly neighbours and the comfort of coming back through the front door at the end of the day
