Property Summary
Set in a prime city-centre location, this elegant Grade II listed Georgian townhouse combines period character with a wonderfully peaceful setting. Built in 1812, the end-of-terrace house is within easy walking distance of the city’s shops, restaurants and cultural attractions, yet its position overlooking the Kennet and Avon Canal, with nearly National Trust fields rising towards Rainbow Wood, gives it a surprisingly rural feel.
Arranged over three light-filled floors, the four-bedroom house has been thoughtfully refurbished by the current owner of 25 years. The lower ground floor has been opened up to create a generous kitchen and comfortable sitting room, with French windows providing a direct connection to the garden. A WC, utility room and additional utility space complete this level. On the ground floor is a bedroom with en-suite, a study and a living room overlooking the garden, while on the first floor there are three further bedrooms and two bathrooms. The layout offers great flexibility for family life and entertaining.
The garden is a particular highlight. Pretty and well stocked, with a lawn and mature borders, it is arranged as a series of different spaces, including an elevated patio with steps leading down through the garden towards the canalside. It is an unusual and tranquil extension to the house, with plenty of room for outdoor dining, relaxing and play. The garden has been enjoyed by several generations, from children bringing friends home to grandchildren now feeding the swans and ducks along the canal.
Views are another defining feature, with spectacular vistas across the city and towards the Abbey, particularly beautiful at sunset.
Despite its central position, the house benefits from an unusually strong sense of community. Sydney Gardens, the Holburne Museum, Bath Rugby and Bath Spa Station are all within easy reach, while a Mini Tesco just around the corner adds to the convenience. Excellent state and independent schools can also be easily reached.
A peaceful haven away from the bustle of the city yet within easy reach of all it has to offer, this is a home that combines the best of both worlds, with its historic character, exceptional garden and rare connection to the canal and surrounding green space.
