Bloomfield

Bloomfield is a residential neighbourhood inside the Bath and North East Somerset unitary authority, a short distance from Bath city centre. The streets are largely made up of Victorian terraces alongside 20th‑century housing, with many frontages in local ashlar stone and surviving fanlight doorways. Properties tend to be compact, often set close to the pavement with long rear gardens and narrow service lanes. The pattern of streets reflects 19th‑century urban growth, with a mix of private houses and former working‑class dwellings converted for modern use.

Local life centres on small shops, community groups and a primary school that serve day‑to‑day needs, while regular bus services link the area with the city. Pockets of open space and community allotments appear between terraces, and several streets rise to give longer views over the surrounding roofscape. The neighbourhood retains practical features from its development era — stone paving, iron railings and original boundary walls — which mark its place within Bath’s built fabric.
