Percy Place, Bath

Percy Place is exceptionally well placed for access to the city centre, which is a 10-minute scenic walk along the canal path or a flat walk along London Road. Larkhall village, is also easily reached from the house, and is well known for its independent spirit; with an excellent bookshop, deli, butcher, and organic farm shop all within easy walking distance.

The house is set back from the road by a private, gated garden, with a high yew hedge to the front. The entrance has wonderful stone flooring and cantilever staircase along with a glimpse of the view from the sitting room. The ground floor rooms retain lovely character with a large working fireplace in the main sitting room and wonderful french doors to the terrace with inset coloured stained glass. The terrace is a good size as it goes over the outside store below allowing plenty of space for a table and chairs to soak up the sunshine. The reception room at the front is used as a study or could be a bedroom with another fireplace and period detail.

Moving up the stairs the master bedroom and its private bathroom are on the first floor. This stylish room has impressive French doors and windows with Juliette balcony, plenty of storage and a marble fireplace. The bathroom is delightful with a stand alone bath, vintage sink, and beautifully tiled large shower cubicle. There are shutters to the windows and additional storage.

The top floor of the house has two bedrooms and a small bathroom off the landing. The views to the rear are full of trees and you can see some of the newly refurbished Cleveland Pools. The front room is a good size and the bathroom has lots of natural light and a second claw foot bath.

Below the ground floor is the kitchen level where the stairs lead to a full width kitchen dining room space where the worktops and storage has been built into the old historic ashlar fireplaces along with a cook`s island unit. Along with the majority of the house the floorboards are wonderfully exposed. Overlooking the garden is a sunny breakfast area for that magical first coffee of the day. The utility room doubles as a pantry and houses the boiler. A door to the rear of the kitchen leads down steps to the garden.

Towards the front of the house is a further reception room that is currently used for art and a play room, but could double up as a bedroom when needed. There is also a spacious shower room with a splendid reclaimed sink unit which is perfectly situated for servicing this floor. Steps lead down to a cellar with good head height and three open rooms that have heating, light and power. There is a also a further outside vault to the front.

There are not many period terraces in Bath that offer 300 foot long, level, and sun drenched south facing gardens. From an aging decked area the lawn is enclosed by stone walls and passes one large tree and a little well before ending at a gate to Kensington Meadows. Next to the deck is a good sized store for outside tools and bikes.

Parking has improved with the expansion of resident zones with a permit available from BANES for the nearby streets like Kensington Place as well as across the road from the front of the house.
