Lime Grove Gardens, Bath, Somerset, BA2

Built in the 1930s as part of an interwar housing expansion, 10 Lime Grove Gardens has undergone a comprehensive top-to-bottom renovation to transform it into a contemporary two-bedroom home with multi-purpose open-plan living areas. Situated at the end of a terrace, it features front and rear multi-level gardens with lawned areas and space for growing vegetables, along with a raised decked area designed for easy outdoor access and entertaining. The garden further enhances its appeal with three apple trees, a bay, and a plum tree. The current owner describes the renovation process, stating, ‘this included enlarging the kitchen with an extension, merging a bedroom into an open-plan study, replastering, replacing floors and some of the windows and doors. I also installed a custom staircase and built-in wardrobes and gave the property a full rewire. I finally added decking to improve access to the outdoors and levelled the garden.’ She emphasises, ‘the house has been vastly transformed, with all necessary permits and paperwork in order.’ Beyond the allure of the property's transformation, its location is also a significant attraction, offering a peaceful setting close to the city centre while providing easy access to green spaces. ‘One of the best aspects of the location is the accessibility it offers,’ says the owner. ‘Within minutes, one can enjoy walks along the hilly Bath skyline route or venture out of town along the Avon and Kennet Canal. All this while having all the amenities of the town centre, including the railway station, just a stone's throw away.’ ‘I love the open-plan aspect of the house – it means when friends visit, one can still socialise while preparing a meal, or adults can sit and have a drink while keeping an eye on children playing.’ ‘Lime Gardens is a lovely road to live on and an easy place to make friends; it’s a great mix of young families, retired couples, postgraduate students, and fellow dog owners.’ ‘The garden is a lovely space to spend time, from enjoying the sound of the dawn chorus to picking apples in late summer. Creating the levels has made it so much more accessible.’ ‘Excellent local amenities include a fantastic choice of schools, nice restaurants and bars, health clubs, independent shops, community groups, and, for rugby fans, Bath Rec is just a couple of minutes away.’ ‘The area is spoiled with good transport links, especially those offering fast services to Bristol and London.’ Additional Information: Postcode: BA2 4HE Local Authority: BANES.
