plantation shutters. At the rear of the property is a hand made Neptune

access to outside is a fully equipped utility room with windows overlooking
the garden.

flowerbeds and a small lawn. In the summer, both gardens are filled with
flowers and the back garden has a good herb variety and is very bee friendly.

**The Situation**
Prior Park Cottages, formerly known as Prior Park Place in the 1840s and
1850s, is a stepped terrace, pleasantly situated just a short stroll away from
the array of local shops and amenities in Widcombe, yet at the same time
occupying a quiet tucked - away position in a small no - through road within the
Conservation Area.
The train station is 10 minutes' walk away and it's 90 minutes to London
Paddington. Also close by is the very famous Prior Park, including Prior Park
School. This is a national trust site and contains one of only four Palladian
bridges in the world. This area is absolutely amazing for dog walking and the
twin tunnels are a short cycle away too. It's only a short 10 minutes' walk
away from the Bath Skyline, a six - mile circular route encompassing beautiful
woodlands and meadows, an Iron Age hill fort, Roman settlements, 18th - century
follies and spectacular views. A walker's paradise!
The canal side towpath is only a couple of minutes away and you can actually
cycle all the way from Bath to Reading on this path, but from Prior Park
Cottages it's a stunning 30 minute cycle to the Dundas Aqueduct, a 40 - minute
cycle to Avoncliff, and 90 minutes Caen Hill Locks at Devizes.
