Highbury Place, Bath, BA1

The front entrance hall of this handsome period home features smart limestone flooring and a beautifully curved wall that leads seamlessly into the open-plan ground-floor reception areas. A notable feature of this period home is the spacious and flowing layout of the ground floor. At the front of the property is a charming sitting room with sash windows, decorative plaster coving, a picture rail, and a period-style fireplace. Double doors allow this room to be closed off if desired, while also connecting it to the open-plan living, dining, and kitchen space. The limestone flooring continues from the hallway into the main living area, creating a cohesive and elegant finish. The snug area is perfect for relaxed TV evenings and sits open to the beautifully crafted kitchen by Browns Woodworking. The kitchen and dining area benefit from underfloor heating and have been meticulously designed with painted cabinetry and natural wood interiors. Features include tall larder cupboards, a coffee station, integrated appliances, and sleek marble work surfaces, complemented by stylish tiled finishes. The dining area is flooded with natural light from a striking lantern ceiling light and has double doors opening onto a small courtyard. A practical laundry room and a cloakroom complete the ground-floor accommodation.

Upstairs, the staircase leads to a half-landing with a shower room. The principal bedroom sits at the front of the property and features a period fireplace and a pair of tall sash windows overlooking the southern views of Bath and the surrounding hills. Adjacent is a recently refurbished bathroom suite plus a cleverly concealed storage room. The top floor comprises two double bedrooms and a further single bedroom, ideal for use as a study or home office.
