Bath Terrace, Seaham, County Durham

A truly exceptional Grade II listed Georgian townhouse that captures the charm, history and architectural finesse of Seaham’s most illustrious era. Built as part of a visionary plan led by the 3rd Marquess of Londonderry, this handsome, four storey regency property forms part of an elegant south facing terrace designed by the renowned John Dobson, one of the North of England’s most celebrated 19th century architects.

Dobson, who was best known for his work on Newcastle Central Station and the city’s neoclassical heart, brought his signature refinement and symmetry to Bath Terrace, modelling it after the grand townhouses of London and Bath.

Set in a prime position to fully appreciate Seaham’s stunning coastline, this beautiful family home boasts far reaching views over the shared lawned gardens, the lighthouse and the lively harbour. To the rear, it looks out onto the impressive coastline of Seaham’s beach. With its white rendered exterior, original stone steps and attractive frontage, it stands out as the town’s most admired street.

Situated in the very heart of Seaham, Bath Terrace offers an enviable location with stunning open views across the public green, home to the iconic Tommy statue and local war memorial. This sought after address places you just steps away from the town’s vibrant café culture, bistros, wine bars, independent shops and the award winning Seaham Harbour Marina – the only marina in County Durham, complete with a variety of water sports.
