Beaufort West, Bath, Somerset BA1

This classic Georgian townhouse is set back from the London Road behind generous front gardens, with rear access available via St Saviours Road through the property’s garage.

Inside, the house offers high ceilings, ornate detailing and an original staircase, all hallmarks of a fine Georgian home. A standout feature is the ground floor kitchen and dining room, both enjoying double aspect views of the front and rear gardens. The kitchen features handmade Plain English units and island, mixed worktops and a double ceramic sink. A gas range cooker is set into the chimney breast with ample storage on either side.

The dining room has a wood burning stove, fitted bookcases and cupboards, and a lovely view of the front garden with its magnolia trees and iron railings. Wedding doors allow the kitchen and dining room to be open plan or separate. This floor also includes a WC, utility room and access to the rear garden.

On the first floor, the elegant proportions continue. The drawing room has two floor to ceiling sash windows with working shutters and views over treetops towards Grosvenor Place. A wood burning stove sits within the fireplace. A connecting door leads to the withdrawing room (or bedroom two), which has an original fireplace, cupboards and a window seat overlooking the rear garden.

The second floor mirrors the layout below. The principal bedroom has a fireplace with wood burner, built in wardrobes and an ensuite shower room with WC. Bedroom three is also on this floor.
The top floor includes bedroom four and an attractive family bathroom with roll top bath, separate shower and black and white diamond tiled floor.

The lower ground floor has independent access and can be integrated with or separated from the main house. Currently let on Airbnb, it comprises a kitchen/living room, bedroom, shower room and separate WC. The bedroom opens onto a small courtyard with access to vaulted storage, plumbed and powered, currently used as an additional utility space.

At the front, mature hedging provides privacy, with a wrought iron gate opening onto a path leading to the front door. The garden is mainly lawn, with shrubs and two magnolia trees. Steps concealed behind the iron railings lead down to the lower ground floor entrance.

The rear garden is walled and arranged over two levels. A paved terrace is ideal for outdoor dining, with steps rising to a lawned area with raised flower beds. Evergreen climbers cover the rear wall and a door opens into the garage. The garage offers space for two cars, with an additional parking space in front on St Saviours Road.
