This charming three-storey, Grade II-listed Georgian house occupies an excellent position on Richmond Place, a revered terrace set on the quiet and peaceful upper slopes of Bath. An extensive refurbishment saw a complete overhaul of the internal workings of the house, introducing a Welsh slate roof, new sash-windows, plumbing and underfloor heating. Clean, modern interiors provide excellent quality of finish and materials, sensitively paired with period detailing. Beautifully landscaped rear and front gardens offer a good provision of outside space and the city centre is a pleasant 15-minute walk away.

Comprising 56 Georgian houses, Richmond Place is thought to be the longest terrace of period houses in the country; its elevated location providing wonderful, far-reaching views across the surrounding countryside. Positioned centrally on the terrace, the house is set back from the road by a south-facing walled garden – a lovely sunny spot for a morning coffee, with acer and bay trees and a line of ornamental grasses. The primary entrance is set under a gabled porchway, leading through to a bright, welcoming entrance hall, with hand-crafted cabinetry built into the stairwell.

Arguably the most impressive space in the house is the open-plan kitchen and dining area positioned at one end of the ground floor. A pair of timber-framed glazed doors invite an excellent quality of natural light throughout the day, opening the space out entirely in the summer and maintaining a strong visual relationship to the garden in cooler months. The kitchen is finished to exacting standards, with high-quality appliances integrated into bespoke joinery, long worktops providing generous preparation and cooking areas and a central island creating a sociable layout for entertaining.

The living room is a quiet and peaceful room at the front of the house, with a large sash window framing views onto the front terrace. A light colour scheme creates a calm aesthetic and an open fireplace provides a natural centrepiece. An incredibly well-ordered utility room and a ground-floor cloakroom can also be found on this level.

The first floor is given over to a guest bedroom and en-suite bathroom, with both bath and shower. The master bedroom is positioned on the upper floor of the house; a beautifully bright space with exceptional, far-reaching views across the valley.

A long, private, rear garden has been thoughtfully lit and landscaped, with flowering perennials and ornamental grasses providing subtle shades of autumnal colour and a line of buxus is espaliered along one side. A black-timber shed at the foot of the shingle pathway provides further storage for garden tools and bikes.

The city centre is within easy walking distance or a short cycle ride from Richmond Place and there is also a regular bus service which serves this corner of the city. Bath Spa train station is approximately ten minutes’ drive or a leisurely one and a half-mile walk. There is a well-loved pub, The Richmond Arms, also on Richmond Place and an excellent primary school is positioned opposite.

Bath is the only city in Britain to achieve Unesco World Heritage status which continues to be vehemently protected. Founded in the 1st century AD by the Romans, who famously used the natural hot springs as a thermal spa, it became an important centre for the wool industry in the Middle Ages. In the 18th century, under George III, it developed into an elegant city with neoclassical Palladian buildings.

The city harbours a strong community of independent retailers, coffee shops and eateries with Colonna and Smalls, Corkage, LandRace and the weekly Farmer’s Market ranking favourably with local residents. Royal Victoria Park provides a wonderful green expanse in the city centre and is also home to the revered Botanical Gardens. Uniquely situated in a hollow in the hills, the surrounding Somerset countryside provides an incredible backdrop to the city. The National Trust Skyline Walk offers up exceptional views through six miles of meadows and ancient woodlands.

Transport links are excellent, with Bath Spa train station located in the heart of the city centre, providing a direct line to London Paddington in under 1.5 hours. The M4 motorway sits just on the edge of the city centre and is reachable by car in 15 minutes.
