Tucked just south of Bath's centre, Widcombe feels like a village that happens to sit five minutes from the station. Its high street — Widcombe Parade — is lined with independent delis, wine bars and the beloved Widcombe Social Club, while the Kennet & Avon Canal and Alexandra Park deliver some of the finest views over the city.
Property here is a mix of handsome Georgian terraces, canalside cottages and characterful conversions. It's a perennial favourite with professionals, downsizers and families who want walkability and community without sacrificing period character.
Why live in Widcombe?
Community-minded, creative and green — a foodie village mood minutes from the Abbey.
Getting around
Bath Spa station (London Paddington ~90 mins) is a short stroll; the A36 gives quick access towards the M4 and Bristol.
