There is a spacious and comfortable room on each of its 3 floors, all of which are connected by an impressive and original winding stone staircase. Beside the kitchen is a small walled courtyard equipped with a gas BBQ for alfresco dining. Widcombe Parade around the corner has good pubs, fine dining, mini supermarket, coffee shops and take-outs. The pavement entrance leads directly into the large, bright fitted kitchen with a glazed door and window onto the courtyard. There is an original and ornate, cast iron fireplace packed with decorative logs. Beside this is a handsome circular wood table with 4 upholstered chairs.

Above the courtyard a steeply terraced garden path with tumbling greenery, leads up to a private access road with allocated parking for 1 car. All the rooms have deep front and rear original sash windows, with thick Bath stone walls and treads that are still visible all the way up the atmospheric narrow staircase. It could have been designed by Ralph Allen himself, to showcase his local stone mines from which Bath was built. Carpeted and cosy, the first floor is now a living room and cloakroom and on the second is a bedroom with en-suite shower room. The stylish living room in deep grey, dark wood and amethyst has a large indulgent ‘L’-shaped sofa for 5. This can be made up as a double sofa bed, or two single sofa beds.

On the top floor under the eaves, is an elegant double bedroom in soft greys, with pretty limed oak furniture. There is secondary glazing to the front and views of steep terraces and little gardens to the rear. A large wardrobe has shelves and drawers for further storage, along with a dressing table and stool, hairdryer and clothes rail. The bed can be made up as either a 6’ superking or 2 single beds to suit your requirements. The en-suite shower room is tiled in travertine and has a walk-in shower with overhead rainfall or handheld set, a small hand-basin and WC. The property has a private parking space for one car behind the property. Please note, it is a narrow lane if you have a very large car. Alternatively the Bath Spa train and coach stations are less than a 5 minute walk away.

This property is highly recommended for its location to the town centre and train station, but it has an added bonus of a free car parking space.

Tiny cottage that works very well for a couple (in our case our grown up daughter joined us for two days which also was fine). We live in Australia but Bath is my birth place. This trip brought me straight back home. The Georgian workers terrace was saved from demolition in the 1960’s by a friend I knew. Lucky intervention.

Nice to see what has been done to repurpose an old structure. The location is great - an easy walk from the railroad station, easy access to Bath city center and to a lovely walk along the Avon river. A very nice place to relax!

This stonemason's cottage dating back to c1740 is perfect for a stay in Bath & to have a parking space is an huge bonus. It's a short walk to the city centre & the canal is approx 2 mins down the road. We will definitely stay at Ralph Allen Cottage again.

Had a lovely 3 night stay in this property. The house is very comfortable with a well equipped large kitchen, really comfortable lounge to relax in and a lovely bedroom with a large bed and luxurious bedding. The house is warm and cosy. Just one suggestion to improve the property even more is to have a look at the shower. The controls on the shower are a little worn and sensitive which means the water temperature can sometimes change unexpectedly so a new shower might be timely. Overall a great property, in a great location which we would definitely book again.

This house is located in a fabulous neighborhood in Bath, just across the river from the train station. Around the corner from the house is short commercial block with everything you need, cafe, pub/restaurants, quick-markets, boutique shops and a pharmacy. There is even a doctors office for emergencies! Just up the hill is a park with a fabulous view of Bath, but the walk will require some huffing-and puffing before you get to the view. It was quite the climb!

This is a very cute property. Lovely neighbourhood. Pubs and deli and coop supermarket nearby. Easy walk to the city centre. Very near the Avon canal which makes a lovely morning walk. The car park is tight but a real bonus in bath. Very quiet overnight which was great as Bath was hen party central
