An attractive Grade II listed Georgian townhouse enjoying panoramic views across the city of Bath and with an enchanting garden overlooking the Kennet & Avon canal.
This delightful Georgian townhouse forms part of a terrace designed by the architect John Pinch the Younger. It retains many period features including a cantilever stone staircase with mahogany handrail, original fire surrounds, sash windows and working shutters. The accommodation is evenly arranged over four floors and there is also a basement. The front door with fan light opens to an entrance hallway with stone floor. An elegant staircase connects the ground floor up to the bedroom accommodation on the first floor and down traditional stone stairs to the lower ground floor. The main sitting room is situated to the rear of the house. There is a woodburner set within the original fire surround and lovely sash windows look out over the garden, across the canal and to the city of Bath beyond. To the front of the house is another reception room currently used as an office or spare bedroom. On the first floor are two double bedrooms and a bathroom with modern suite, free standing bath tub and a separate shower. Stairs lead up to an attic room.The lower ground floor provides direct access to the garden. There is a sitting room or breakfast room perfect for cosy evenings in the winter next to the woodburning stove or lovely summer evenings with the French doors thrown open to the garden. Next to this is the kitchen. The cabinetry is bespoke and there are integrated Miele appliances and a central, moveable island. There is a glass covered stairwell with stone steps leading down to a basement. Here can be found a good size cellar used as a store/utility room/laundry room. There is also a small bathroom. The garden is a delightful feature of the property. It enjoys westerly views across the city and up Beechen Cliff to Alexandra Park and also Camden Crescent to the east. Steps lead down from a small terrace off the breakfast room and a path meanders through the walled garden that is heavily planted. There is a little sitting nook and finally at the end a paved terrace overlooking the canal - the perfect spot to enjoy summer evenings and the setting sun.
Sydney Buildings is one of Bath's most sought after addresses due to its quiet location yet with easy access to the City. Perfectly positioned on the lower slopes off Bathwick Hill, in a peaceful residential street bordering Bathwick Hill fields, this Grade II listed Georgian townhouse has a wonderful westerly aspect at the rear and panoramic views across Bath. Residents of this attractive terrace only have a short stroll to enjoy Widcombe's highly regarded pubs and restaurants and interesting independent shops including a butchers, greengrocers and Prior Park Garden Centre. The commuter has an easy walk to Bath Spa station. The Kennet and Avon canal is at the bottom of the garden and is a haven for wildlife and bird watching. Wonderful walks can be enjoyed in all directions. There is easy access via a 'kissing gate' onto the expansive swathe of National Trust land that rises away to the east famous for its Skyline Walk. Sydney Buildings is also well placed for Widcombe Primary and Junior Schools and other well regarded private schools are within walking distance including The Paragon School, Prior Park College and King Edwards school.
