DESCRIPTION
A truly stunning Grade II Listed townhouse, set within this handsome terrace built between 1818-1825 and designed by the renowned architect Pinch the Elder. It has Bath stone elevations under a slate tile roof with a pretty ironwork balcony with a tented canopy above. Of particular note is the exquisite presentation of the property throughout, whilst retaining a wealth of period features. On entering the property, you are immediately drawn to the exposed stone flooring in the outer hall and hall, leading to the stone cantilevered staircase running up through the entire house. The property has open fireplaces, original intricate plasterwork, large sash windows with their wooden shutters, as well as the grand proportions one would expect from a house of this standing.
The lower ground floor has a sitting room leading through to two large and well-maintained vaults. An external staircase leads to a self-contained front door to this level, allowing for a separate dwelling should one need.
The lower floor hall leads to a further large bedroom and there is a WC and shower room next to it. Access to the rear courtyard garden has steps to the rear garden.
The ground floor, off the hallway, leads into two open plan rooms forming a large kitchen and neighbouring dining room, creating an excellent family space and perfect for entertaining, the dining room enjoying lovey views across to Raby Lawn. A four-storey extension to the rear provides a WC on the ground floor and as you head upstairs to the first floor the half landing has fitted bookcases and provides a lovely reading area overlooking the garden.
The first floor opens into the grand drawing room with large sash windows and having lovely far-reaching views across the city with access to the balcony at the front of the property. It has an open fireplace and large wedding doors open through into the withdrawing room, again with a fireplace and overlooking the garden.
The second floor is made up of the principal bedroom suite, a large bedroom with the views to the front and opening through to an en suite bathroom with a separate shower cubicle. It still retains the original door to the hall, allowing for family usage if needed. Continue upstairs to the three further bedrooms and family bathroom on this level.
The garden to the rear of the property has been landscaped and has access from the lower ground floor and ground floor of the house. It has flowering borders, paved terrace areas around olive trees and seating areas all with lovely views of St Marys Church, described in Pevsners architectural guides as “Bath's finest gothic church”.
