Townhouses split into flats
Many Bathwick homes are Georgian townhouses, often divided into flats, which brings tall floors, original staircases and doorways never sized for modern furniture. We bring the hands and the wrapping to move heavy pieces through period homes without marking the building or the item, taking things apart where the stairs demand it.
Moves up Bathwick Hill
Bathwick Hill climbs steadily towards the university, so a move up here needs the van parked with the slope in mind. We plan the stopping point, keep the carry safe and short, and time the trip around the student comings and goings the hill sees at term change.
The university at the top of the hill
Bathwick Hill runs up to the University of Bath, and that single fact shapes a good deal of the moving here. Academic staff, postgraduates and students take the Georgian conversions along the hill and the streets below it, which means the area shares some of Oldfield Park's seasonal rhythm without the same concentration of large house shares.
The hill itself is the part worth planning around. It is a long, steady climb, and the addresses partway up frequently have no off-street parking and a flight or two inside as well. Term dates make it busier still, so a September move up Bathwick Hill wants an early slot and a realistic sense of how long the carry from the nearest legal parking space is going to take. We will walk you through that before quoting rather than after arriving.
