Four bedroom Georgian townhouse right in the heart of Bath, just around the corner from Royal Crescent and the Circus. Originally built as the Coach Master’s house for the stables behind, this charming house has much to offer, with the main accommodation on the ground, first and second floor, and the lower ground floor has its own entrance and bedroom, bathroom and kitchen.

The vendor says: “I have lived in this lovely house for 15 years and really enjoyed being in the heart of this vibrant city, but now I am moving to a smaller apartment. My favourite room is the kitchen and dining room on the ground floor. I have had the kitchen redone and I am really pleased with the result, I retained the large original cupboard which I use as a pantry. I have had many dinner parties here over the years: everyone wants to come and visit me here in this brilliant location. The dining room is an elegant space, with high ceilings and the table easily accommodates eight, there is a bath stone fireplace. The hall on the ground floor leads down to a WC on the half landing and continues down to the boiler room and storage. Upstairs the sitting room is a light room and I have an excellent view of the comings and goings in this lively street. It is very quiet as I have had the sash windows overhauled. The original bridal doors open out from this room into the study which has delightful rooftop views over Bath. This room could be made into another bedroom if desired. Both these rooms have a fireplace. Upstairs there are two bedrooms, the master en suite and there is another shower room on this floor too.”

“In the basement there is a separate flat. I have replaced the kitchen and there is a lovely large bathroom, with a bath and separate shower, a large bedroom, with dressing area, small hall and space for washing machine and dryer. The flat has its own entrance down the steps, and there are some large vaults also. It would be very easy to convert the property back into one house if required.”

She continues: “Rivers Street is a very friendly street, with a good sense of community. The Chequers pub has gorgeous food and is very close. It is never noisy as there is limited outside seating and it is more known for its award winning food, it closes at 11.00. The Co-op is just in Julian Road and round in St James’s Square there is an excellent deli and a greengrocers, newsagents and chemist. Margaret’s Buildings has an antiquarian bookshop, Figo hairdressers, independent boutiques and Green Bird café and the art gallery. All this is so close, along with the Royal Crescent, the beautiful Victoria Park and of course the myriad of delightful restaurants and bars, shops and galleries further down the hill in Bath, not to mention three theatres.”

It is 0.8 miles to walk down to Bath Spa railway station, with trains to London in 84 minutes. Junction 18 on M4 motorway is 9.4 miles away. There is resident’s parking on the street and a new scheme operated by CARA gives you 100 hours of parking for £100 for guests. The flat has its own CARA holiday home parking permit as well.

Note: there is no garden with this property. There are two council taxes payable.
