Bath, Somerset, England

Our home is a pretty Victorian town house in Bath Somerset, a World Heritage Site. We are 10 minutes walk to the famous Roman Baths and Abbey. Our house is in a quiet street sandwiched between the River Avon and the Kennet and Avon canal. The National Trust Bathwick fields are minutes walk away. Its an ideal mix of City, Culture and Countryside.

Downstairs is the living/dining room, a kitchen plus a wc. We have a private cottage rose garden opening off from the kitchen with patio and seating areas. At the rear of the garden is a garage with parking. Upstairs there are 3 double bedrooms. A Master suite with a superking size double bed, ensuite shower room and walk in wardrobe, on the same level there is a twin room with a cot. Down a few steps is a double bedroom and a small family bathroom with a small bath and a shower over. As our home has lots of stairs it may not suit someone with limited mobility.
