Bloomfield Crescent, Bath, Somerset, BA2

A remarkable Grade II* listed home, 1 Bloomfield Crescent is steeped in history, boasting many original Georgian features. Designed by Charles Harcourt Masters, it was one of his earliest works and forms part of one of the first communes of its time. Perfectly aligned with the Royal Crescent across the valley, this property blends architectural significance with modern living. Inside, the four-storey home offers incredible flexibility. The lower-ground floor features a self-contained suite, previously used as an Airbnb, complete with its own kitchen, ensuite bathroom with underfloor heating, and a secure private entrance. The upper floors enjoy spectacular views – one of a handful that have been listed as part of the city’s heritage status – stretching across the city and beyond, taking in Bath Abbey, the Royal Crescent, the Forest of Dean, and even the Severn Bridges. ‘Having lived in BA2 for over 25 years at multiple addresses, we were immediately drawn to Bloomfield Crescent for its strategic position and breathtaking, far-reaching views in every direction,’ say the owners. They add, ‘the fields and woods behind the house are home to deer, badgers, and foxes, as well as horses. Despite this tranquil setting, we are well-connected, with a regular bus service to the city centre or a pleasant 25-minute walk down the hill.’ The house has been thoughtfully upgraded, including the installation of a gas central heating system, reconfigured solar panels that now divert some electricity to boost the heating instead of exporting it all back into the grid, and extensive hard landscaping in the rear garden, featuring a striking Bath stone raised bed and pond.
The interiors and exteriors have been freshly repainted, and an electricity supply has been connected to the two-storey garage, enhancing its functionality.

‘With its own private garden alongside access to the expansive communal lawn, the home offers an outdoor lifestyle in the heart of Bath. The mature garden is blessed with several sitting viewpoints and interesting brick walls, steps, and follies, offering a choice of places to sit in the sun and enjoy a drink.’

‘The property fosters a strong sense of community, with only seven other houses in the Crescent. Residents frequently organise gatherings and work together on communal projects, including maintaining the shared garden and tidying the private pathway that leads to Corston View’s open fields.’

‘The nearby hubs of Bear Flat and Odd Down offer a fantastic selection of shops, restaurants, cafés, art trails, and sporting activities – all just a short walk away.’
