Property Summary
No onward chain. Sitting mid-terrace in a quiet road in Bath’s vibrant centre, this Grade II listed Georgian townhouse offers both great character and convenience. Laid out over five floors and comprising five bedrooms, it features wonderfully high ceilings, large light-giving windows, and numerous period details that underscore its place in one of the country’s most historic cities. The long, level rear garden, with its patio and views towards leafy Alexandra Park, and its close proximity to Royal Victoria Park, creates a setting that feels as green as it is urban. ‘The really unique thing about this property is that it is central yet quiet, with no direct passing traffic. With all the amenities Bath has to offer just a level walk away, the river and park close by for walking the dog, and easy access to the train station, Bristol, and the M4, it’s a pretty perfect city location,’ say the current owners. Stylishly modernised with new Fired Earth and Heritage bathrooms, and with a recently relined chimney, general updates include fresh decoration and new carpeting. ‘The chimney was a big and messy job but one well worth doing, as having an open fire adds such a lovely warmth and charm to the home, making it the perfect spot for cosy evenings and gatherings,’ they add. Creating another warm hub is the AGA on the lower ground floor. ‘The AGA makes it feel like a real home, one you want to welcome people into. The kitchen also has a wonderful original dresser and an old range.’ Leading to the garden, this space is ideal for summer entertaining, making 26 New King Street a home for all seasons.
‘The long garden provides ample space for kids and dogs to run around, ensuring no one ever feels cooped up.’
‘Inside, the generous space with three reception rooms means there’s always somewhere to find a quiet corner to retreat to – it’s a great family home.’
‘The house is fantastic for entertaining, but for those who enjoy socialising, there are plenty of bars, restaurants, and theatres nearby.’
‘For a city home, it’s remarkably peaceful, yet incredibly convenient. Everything you might need is either right on your doorstep, a short walk away, or an easy drive.’
‘We’ve been very fortunate with our neighbours, who are kind, considerate, and quiet.’
‘Being five stories high, the house offers some spectacular views.’
