Summary - 17 Old Fosse Road BA2 2SP
Victorian mid-terraced stone cottage with period character
This attractive Victorian mid-terraced cottage offers a compact, well-presented home for a young family or couple seeking easy access to Bath and nearby green space. Set back from the road and facing the playing fields of St Philip’s CofE Primary School, the house benefits from natural light, period stone character and a practical layout across multiple levels.
The ground floor has a cosy sitting room with a wood-burning stove and built-in cupboard, a lowered dining area leading to a galley kitchen, and a clean modern family bathroom. Two double bedrooms occupy the upper floor, with the main bedroom catching morning sun and the second bedroom enjoying evening light. Double glazing and gas central heating provide everyday comfort.
Outside, the garden is a definite asset for the size: a decked entertaining area, lawn and a separate studio/workshop at the far end offer flexible space for home working, hobbies or storage. The property is freehold and conveniently placed for city amenities, good local schools and nearby countryside walks.
Practical considerations: the house has an EPC rating of D and is built before 1900 with stone walls that are assumed to be uninsulated, which may mean higher heating costs and potential upgrade work. The plot is small and the layout includes a few internal level changes that may not suit all mobility needs. Overall this is a characterful, well-located home with scope for energy improvements and modest updating where desired.
