2 Bedroom House

A stunning, individual residence, renovated to a high standard.

Description - Tucked away in the heart of Larkhall, The Retreat offers a rare sense of peace and privacy within one of Bath's most vibrant and sought-after communities. Rebuilt in 2002 on the site of a former bakery, this contemporary two-bedroom mews house combines thoughtful design, practicality and understated charm.

Recently refurbished throughout, the property has been finished to an exceptional standard. Every detail has been carefully considered, from the beautifully appointed new kitchen and bathrooms to the refinished solid English oak flooring, fresh décor and bespoke cabinetry that maximises every inch of space. As the current owners explain, "We wanted to honour what Dad created here, thoughtfully updating it with great care and attention to detail."

The elegant kitchen blends timeless styling with modern convenience, featuring warm brass accents, Smeg appliances and subtle LED under-cabinet lighting that creates a welcoming ambience in the evenings. The open-plan living space is enhanced by stylish Hay pendant lighting, adding a contemporary touch.

Upstairs, the mezzanine bedroom offers a peaceful retreat, complete with full-height fitted wardrobes and a cleverly concealed door leading to a beautifully designed shower room.

Although arranged over two floors, the ground floor has been thoughtfully designed to allow comfortable single-level living if desired. The spacious open-plan kitchen, dining and sitting room, together with the principal bedroom, both open directly onto the private garden through French doors, creating a seamless connection between indoor and outdoor living. A luxurious main bathroom with brass Scudo fittings, along with a versatile study – which could also serve as a third bedroom – provides additional flexibility. Cleverly integrated storage discreetly houses the new boiler, washing machine and wardrobe, while upstairs there is also a generous loft offering excellent additional storage.

Outside, the garden is positioned to the front and enjoys sunshine throughout much of the day. An outbuilding with power and water, together with a separate storage room, offers excellent versatility for hobbies, a home office or workshop. Completing the property is the rare advantage of off-street parking for up to two vehicles.

Location - The Retreat is just a few steps away from Larkhall Village. Larkhall is a popular village known for its vibrant community, array of independent shops and excellent local schools. The property enjoys good bus links to the centre of Bath and easy access to the M4 without having to cross the city.

The city centre of Bath provides a full range of retail outlets together with many amenities including an excellent selection of restaurants, Bath Sports Centre, the Theatre Royal and the Thermae Spa. Complementing this is the open countryside to the east with many beautiful walks. This contrasting with the closeness of the city centre is, in our opinion, one of the major attractions to this property. Communication links are excellent with a mainline rail link to London Paddington (journey time from 85 minutes) and Bristol Temple Meads (journey time from 15 minutes).
