Fox Hill

Fox Hill sits within the cluster of neighbourhoods on Bath's southern and eastern fringes, an area defined by its elevated, green setting and strong family appeal. Across Bathavon South, Combe Down, Odd Down and Widcombe & Lyncombe, you'll find consistently good schools, low and falling crime rates, and excellent air quality thanks to the hillside and valley positions. Healthcare provision is a real strength too, with GP practices, dentists and hospitals well represented throughout the wider area. House prices vary quite a bit depending on exactly where you look. Combe Down commands premium prices, with detached homes averaging £996,000, while Odd Down offers much better value at £479,900 for similar properties, making it a good option for buyers wanting space without the hillside price tag. Bathavon South and Widcombe & Lyncombe sit at the higher end too, drawing families and professionals happy to pay for the setting and schools on offer. A notable thread running through these neighbourhoods is the high proportion of homeworkers, often over 40%, pointing to a skilled, flexible workforce that doesn't need to commute daily. Transport is where the picture shifts most between areas. Widcombe & Lyncombe benefits from Bath Spa station and strong walkable access into the city centre, while Odd Down and Bathavon South rely on the A367 and A36 for road links into Bath and beyond. Combe Down is the outlier, with no train or bus station locally, meaning residents need a car or a trip into Bath for most journeys. Whatever the transport trade-offs, everyday amenities are handled well throughout, with cafés, convenience stores, green space and good schools forming the backbone of daily life across this part of Bath.
