6 bed terraced house for sale

Grosvenor Place, Bath BA1

This unique and stunning period home comprises the major portion of a Grade I Listed Georgian townhouse. It is self-contained from the ground floor up, with its own ground floor entrance. The classic layout of a Georgian home with its large proportions and symmetrical spaces is always popular and to have the four floors of the upper house is often a rare find. At just a 1 mile level walk to Milsom Street, it also has the luxury of a south facing garden, private parking and easy access to canal, river and countryside walks.

The impressive ground floor drawing room benefits from tall ceilings decorated by detailed cornicing and a frieze. Triple sash windows with working shutters frame the south facing aspect, with the central window opening out to a Juliet balcony. Bespoke cabinetry has been designed in keeping with period woodwork and flank the central marble fireplace. Glazed pocket doors slide open into the custom-made kitchen with hand painted units under a polished granite work surface. Further full height cabinetry has been designed either side of the marble fireplace. The first floor bedroom suite is a particular feature of this stunning home. Three full height windows all have balconies with detailed fretwork. Originally the principal drawing room, the proportions are impressive and include wedding doors opening into a luxurious bathroom. The second and top floor houses five further bedrooms, two bathrooms, plus a home office. Of note is the amount of storage, always a much-needed commodity. Access to the recently landscaped garden is via the lower ground hallway, once again handmade cabinets have been designed creating a super storage and pantry area, with a utility room at the far end.

Outside

The Upper House has the benefit of an enclosed and level south facing garden. There is a flat stone dining terrace adjacent to the house with a flower border dividing the lawn. A beautiful Beech tree takes centre stage. Pleached Beech hedging has been planted on either side and a further area full of seasonal planting adds interest and an additional seating area. A gate leads to the parking space. There is also on-street parking to the front and rear of the terrace.

Situation

Grosvenor Place is a Grade I Listed Georgian terrace on the east side of the city centre. The impressive façade is fronted by a wide grass verge lined with mature trees and a slip road providing a division from the London Road. Larkhall is situated on the other side and has a wonderful community atmosphere centred around the square. The popular amenities include a local theatre, schools, church, and several shops including butchers, grocers, delicatessen, plus a small supermarket. Walking into the city, one can take advantage of the nearby canal towpath or stroll via fashionable Walcot Street, known as the artisan quarter of Bath. The shops, bars and independent businesses all have a certain creativity, style, and artistry about them. Grosvenor Place is also a great location for commuters just a 1.5 mile walk to Bath Spa Railway Station. There is also easy access to Junction 18 of the M4 via the A46 just along the road.
