Built during the interwar era as a farm workers cottage, this charming three-bedroom Bath stone-built home sits mid-terrace in a row of six homes in an elevated position with wonderful valley views. Located just north of Dunkerton village and only a short drive from the south side of Bath, this rural home is well-connected to all the city has to offer, from excellent schools to world-class shopping, restaurants, and theatres. Updated and extended over the years with a loft conversion, kitchen extensions, and a separate utility room, the current owners have invested time in bringing it up-to-date. There are many things that first attracted them to 2 Westbury Terrace; firstly, as you enter the house from the parking area, it has its own allotment area. We wanted space to grow our own vegetables and having a dedicated spot so close was an amazing find, say the owners. The location was also a huge attraction: Its only a 10-minute drive to Bath city centre, yet the property, surrounded by fields, feels wonderfully rural. The beautiful valley view to the front is usually shrouded in mist in the morning, and the front bedroom window offers a stunning vista, often with the Red Kite flying across the fields. With gardens to the front and rear, the outside area is geared towards growing fresh fruit and vegetables, keeping chickens, enjoying the sunshine, hosting barbecues, and chatting with the neighbours over the low dividing wall and fence. Its a home to truly enjoy.
There is an abundance of wildlife, with pheasants, rabbits, green woodpeckers, and a barn owl. We have many visiting garden birds, making this a great home for nature lovers.
The back garden is a perfect evening sun trap and ideal for summer barbecues. The seating area has an electricity supply, allowing for the use of electric blankets and lights.
Our favourite room is the living room because of the wood stove fire. There's nothing better than sitting next to it with a book on a chilly autumn evening.
Being close to Bath and its train station makes commuting easy, while the vibrant town of Frome, with its artisan market, is just twenty minutes away. Central Bristol is around half an hour away, and Bristol International Airport can be reached in under an hour.
We love a short walk around Lords Wood and a stop at The Pig for a drink. Nearby Priston also has a great country pub.
