The property has the unique benefit of being surrounded by lush valleys and hillside pastures with far-reaching views across Bath and beyond, whilst also being in the city Bath (BA1), with the city centre only 3 miles away.



Fancy a pub lunch The Ridge’s local has been voted one of the best pub’s in the UK Hare & Hound which can be reached by foot across the plateau of the valley within 15-20mins (without stepping foot on a road!). Furthermore, the trendy village of Larkhall makes an convenient alternative to the City centre which provides cafes, restaurants, deli’s, butchers, fruit and veg, etc.
