Description
Description
An extraordinary opportunity to acquire a newly built, architect-designed townhouse in the very heart of Bath. Set discreetly within St James's Passage, this beautifully crafted home offers sophisticated interiors, generous accommodation, and one of the finest private roof terraces in the city now offered for sale by auction.
Spanning four floors, the house has been designed with a meticulous eye for detail. The ground floor features a beautifully designed kitchen and dining area, tailored with high-quality finishes and modern functionality. The deep navy cabinetry is paired with Quartz stone worktops and integrated Siemens appliances, such as two single electric ovens, an induction hob, a fridge freezer, and a dishwasher. This elegant space is flooded with natural light through two oversized sash windows, while underfloor heating runs throughout.
On the lower ground floor, a large, separate reception room offers a refined yet relaxed space to entertain, unwind or work from home. A fully fitted utility room with an undermounted sink and plumbing for both washing machine and tumble dryer adds valuable practicality.
The first floor is home to the principal bedroom suite, which offers both scale and flexibility. Pocket sliding doors open into a walk-in wardrobe or dedicated study, while the bathroom across the landing features a generous walk-in shower, a wall-hung WC, and a demisting vanity mirror.
Upstairs, the second floor hosts two further double bedrooms, each with its own stylish en suite shower room, making this an ideal layout for families, guests, or home working needs.
At the top of the house sits an outstanding, modern and private roof terrace, accessed via an automated rooflight. Measuring approximately 4.2 metres by 11.2 metres, this expansive outdoor space offers far-reaching, uninterrupted views across Bath's iconic rooftops and green hills beyond, a true rarity in a central location.
With zoned underfloor heating across every level, high-quality finishes throughout, and a smart, intuitive layout, 1 St James's Passage combines modern luxury with timeless appeal.
