A beautifully presented four bedroom Grade II listed Georgian townhouse in a highly sought after location less than a ten minute walk to the heart of Bath. The accommodation is arranged over four floors with the kitchen and breakfast room on the lower ground floor along with the utility and games area and shower room. The drawing room, withdrawing room and cloakroom are on the ground floor, and four bedrooms, family bathroom and another toilet are on the top two floors.

Work began building Northampton Street circa 1791 according to the designs of Thomas Baldwin. The plans were taken on by Thomas Chantry and John Pinch (his first major work) and completed after 1819.

The vendor says: “We moved here fifteen years ago with a young family. We were very struck by the beautiful proportions of the house and many original features such as the wedding doors separating the drawing room and withdrawing room on the ground floor and original shutters throughout the house. Most houses of this period have the reception rooms on the first floor, but we are lucky that they are on the ground floor here. At Christmas we open out the wedding doors so that the two reception rooms are made into one large room with Georgian sash windows at each end; one overlooking the pretty period houses of Northampton Street and the other with views of the garden. You can also access the garden from this level.”

“On the lower ground floor there is a kitchen/breakfast room with lovely stone floors which make the room cool in summer and the Alpha, a gas fired Aga, heats the whole house making everything cosy. There is a stunning cantilevered stone staircase – very beautiful and a brilliant feat of engineering! The top two floors have four bedrooms, a large family bathroom and a washroom. All in all, a perfect family home.”

“The garden is a good size, East facing so that it gets full morning sun. You can get out to the garden from the basement or from the front door through the cloakroom to the garden.”

“The location is incredible here. Our children walked to school from the house. Good state and private schools are nearby, with St Andrew’s School just at the end of the road. St Stephen’s state school also rated ‘Good’ is 0.7 miles away. Independent schools such as Kingswood and the Royal High School are nearby, and King Edward’s School is 1.3 miles away. The Royal Crescent is very close, and Victoria Park for dog walking, tennis and crazy golf and the beach in the summer, is ideal. The Approach Golf Course is just down the road. Walking into town to all the unique shops, galleries, restaurants and bars that Bath offers is wonderful. It is lovely to go out to dinner or the theatre and be able to walk home. We have two residents' permits for our cars and there are always plenty of spaces on the street. The other great thing is that there’s no through traffic on Northampton Street, so it’s a really peaceful setting – and yet so close to the city centre.”

“Northampton Street has been a wonderful home, full of stunning period features and in a superb location.”
