2 bedroom terraced house for sale

Tucked away in the heart of Larkhall, The Retreat offers calm and privacy in the midst of one of Bath’s most vibrant communities. Originally rebuilt in 2002 on the site of an old bakery, this contemporary two-bedroom mews house combines thoughtful design, practicality, and charm – a hidden sanctuary moments from the village’s bustling centre.

Recently refurbished throughout, the home has been finished to an exceptional standard. Every detail has been considered, from the beautiful new kitchen and bathrooms to refinished solid English oak flooring, fresh decoration and bespoke cabinetry that makes clever use of every inch of space. ‘We wanted to honour what Dad created here, thoughtfully updating it with great care and attention to detail.'

The kitchen has a timeless elegance, with marble-effect composite worktops, warm brass accents and Smeg appliances. LED under-cabinet lighting adds a soft glow in the evenings, while Hay pendant lights in the living area bring a subtle sense of style.

Upstairs, a mezzanine bedroom features full-height wardrobes with a hidden door leading to a serene shower room – ‘our children call it the Narnia door.’
Although the house sits over two floors, the layout on the ground floor makes it ideal for single-storey living. A spacious kitchen/dining/sitting room and principal bedroom both open onto the garden through French doors. There's also a main bathroom featuring brass Scudo fittings and a neat study – or third bedroom – with discreet storage, housing the new boiler, washing machine and wardrobe. ‘Upstairs, there’s a generous loft too, easily accessed through a standard door.'

Outside, the garden feels wonderfully private – ‘it’s such a sun trap in summer and a lovely place to sit with a glass of wine.’

The outbuilding, complete with power, water and a separate store, adds versatility, while off-street parking for up to two cars plus an informal third private lane space, ensures practicality matches comfort.

Perfectly placed for village life, Larkhall offers independent shops, cafés, a theatre and a great community spirit.

‘It’s rare to find somewhere so peaceful and tucked away, yet so close to everything – that’s what made Dad fall in love with it.’

‘It’s a house that feels instantly calming – somewhere that just makes you slow down and relax.’

‘The flow from kitchen to garden makes it perfect for entertaining.’

‘It’s peaceful, private and full of light — a true hidden gem in the heart of Larkhall yet a level walk to all of Bath’s wonderful amenities and attractions.’
