Camden Road, Bath, BA1

Setting The Scene

Elevated above Camden Road, Beacon Hill is a highly sought-after residential setting, with this property forming one of just three double fronted homes within an impressive and distinctive terrace. Set back from the road, it enjoys a notably more peaceful and private position, enhanced by far-reaching panoramic views across the city and beyond.

Opposite, a footpath at the end of Belgrave Crescent provides easy access to Thomas Street and continues into Hedgemead Park, offering a pleasant and convenient walk into Bath city centre. A variety of local amenities are within immediate reach, including a doctors’ surgery, pharmacy, convenience store, and a popular local pub, with Morrisons, Waitrose, and the city centre’s excellent selection of restaurants and independent shops also all within comfortable walking distance.

Situated in the desirable Camden area, the property is well placed for a number of highly regarded schools, including St Stephen’s Primary, the Royal High School, and Kingswood School, with King Edward’s also close by. The historic World Heritage city of Bath, renowned for its outstanding cultural, educational, retail, and leisure facilities, lies just a short distance away. Bath Spa railway station provides direct services to London Paddington in approximately 80 minutes and to Bristol Temple Meads in around 12–15 minutes.

Nearby Lansdown offers straightforward access to the A420 towards Bristol and Chippenham, as well as the M4 at Junction 18.

The Property

This impressive south facing seven bedroom Grade II listed Georgian residence is a home that immediately commands attention. From the moment you pass through the front gates, the approach sets the tone, with stone steps leading up to the house. The front façade, with its striking original front door and classic sash windows, creates a strong first impression. Here you instinctively turn to take in the stunning views before entering the house.

There are many features to highlight, but what truly stands out is the feeling you get as you move through the home, a genuine sense that it has been immaculately maintained, with years of family life and memories at its heart.

Internally, the property is arranged around a central staircase, with a range of well proportioned rooms typical of Georgian design. The house has been thoughtfully updated over time, retaining its period character while incorporating modern features suited to everyday living. The current owners have opened up the kitchen and dining area to create a more sociable space, while retaining two separate reception rooms, offering flexibility of use. There is also the added benefit of a separate utility room.

The property is ready to move into, while still offering scope for further improvement, particularly within the kitchen, should a buyer wish to update to their own taste. All seven bedrooms are comfortable doubles, each with its own appeal, with the principal bedroom benefitting from a particularly spacious en-suite.

Externally, there is a rear courtyard garden with a number of useful storage rooms. The main garden sits to the front of the house, designed to make the most of the far reaching views, with a generous patio area ideal for outdoor dining and entertaining in this spectacular setting.

Despite its proximity to the city centre, the setting is peaceful and private, with the added benefit of parking - a garage at the front of the property. Viewing is highly recommended to fully appreciate all that this home has to offer.
