This fine Georgian townhouse is set on a residential street on the lower slopes of Bath convenient for the city centre. Decorated throughout by the current owners this family home stylishly combines modern living with period detail. The well presented accommodation is over five floors and offers great flexibility, currently arranged as four bedrooms and three reception rooms. Entering a wide hallway with tiled floor is a living room to the left. This room features a rare diagonal edged window to the front with original sliding shutters.
