House For Sale £1,400,000
A delightful Grade II Listed Georgian townhouse located on Bathwick Hill.
Description
8 George Street is a beautifully presented end of terrace townhouse, located on the highly sought after Bathwick Hill. The property is deceptively large and enjoys generous proportions throughout, with many of its original features still intact, as well as fabulous views of the city landscape.
Entered at ground floor level into a tiled entrance hall, your eye is drawn through to the drawing room at the rear, a wonderful room with tall ceilings, fireplace and original cornice work, as well as a lovely view over the rear garden. Adjacent is a further reception room, which could be a library or tv room, with built in cupboards and a view to the front of the property.
Downstairs is a large kitchen, which was recently installed by the current owners, as well as a dining room with double doors leading out to the garden. Also on this floor is a separate WC and the vaults have been cleverly converted to provide storage and a utility area.
The bedrooms are arranged over the upper two floors. The principal bedroom is situated at the front of the house, and enjoys lovely proportions and feature fireplace. At the rear of the first floor is another large bedroom, currently utilised as an artist studio and a family bathroom next door. On the top floor is a delightful bedroom with en suite shower room and the best views in the house, and another small room, which could be used for storage or as a playroom.
Outside
The walled rear garden is a delightful sun-trap, facing south west and with an open aspect due to the property being end of terrace. The garden is low maintenance, but mature, with a water feature at the rear of the garden and a patio located close to the house, perfect for al fresco dining. There is also a useful side gate providing access from Sydney Buildings.
Location
Occupying an outstanding position on the lower slopes of Bathwick Hill with wonderful views over the city and beyond, George Street is a small terrace of Georgian townhouses located either side of Sydney Buildings.
There are local shopping facilities available close by on Bathwick Hill and the City Centre is approximately half a mile away and provides a full range of retail outlets together with many amenities including an excellent selection of restaurants, Bath Sports Centre, the Theatre Royal and the Thermae Spa.
Complementing this is the open countryside nearby with many beautiful walks. This, contrasting with the closeness of the city centre is, in our opinion, one of the major attractions to this property. The property is very conveniently placed for easy access to various nearby schools which include King Edwards, Prior Park and Monkton Combe. Also nearby is Bath University. Communication links are excellent with a mainline rail link to London Paddington (journey time from 75 minutes) and Bristol Temple Meads (journey time from 15 minutes). Junction 18 of the M4 is approximately 10 miles north.
Square Footage: 2,485 sq ft
