Highfield House is a striking double-fronted Victorian villa offering nearly 3,800 sq ft of flexible family living across principal floors and a large lower-ground level. High ceilings, bay windows, ornate cornicing and generous room proportions retain authentic period character, while a bespoke, contemporary kitchen and thoughtful modernisation provide comfortable, usable space for everyday family life and entertaining.
The house sits centrally on a very large, well-screened plot with a broad lawn, mature borders, vegetable garden and a terrace accessed from the dining room. Off-street parking for multiple cars and a double garage add practical convenience for family life. The lower-ground floor provides substantial additional space currently used as a games/music room, with utility and storage and direct garden access — useful for hobbies or flexible home-working.
Positioned on Wellsway in popular Bear Flat, the location is around a mile from Bath Spa station and the city centre, with highly regarded primary and secondary schools nearby. The site balances quiet, private gardens with easy access to Bath’s amenities, cycle routes and rail links to Bristol and London.
Important practical points: the property has an EPC rating of D and the original sandstone walls are assumed to have no insulation, which may mean higher heating costs and future retrofit work. The home is freehold, built before 1900, and council tax is described as quite expensive. These are realistic considerations for buyers weighing long-term running costs and possible further energy improvements.
