Sydney Buildings, Bath, Somerset BA2

1 Sydney Buildings is an elegant end-of-terrace, late Georgian Grade II listed townhouse, held within the same family for several generations and offering an exciting opportunity for updating and refurbishment. Rich in original character, the house retains a wealth of period features, including sash windows, fireplaces and a cantilevered staircase rising through the centre of the property.

A welcoming entrance hall leads to two well-proportioned reception rooms on the ground floor. The rear drawing room spans the full width of the house, enjoying elevated views towards the canal and city beyond, while the front room provides a further reception space with built-in shelving and a fireplace. The lower ground floor comprises a kitchen/dining/living area with direct access to the garden, together with a series of useful vaults, including a pantry and original wash area.

The upper floors provide five bedrooms and two bathrooms, arranged over the first and second floors, with charming half-landings offering potential for study areas. Overall, the property presents a rare opportunity to create a superb family home in a prime central Bath location.

The property presents a handsome Georgian façade in Bath stone, with sash windows arranged over four floors and a central front door beneath a first-floor balcony with stone balustrading. Wrought iron railings enclose a small front lightwell, completing the classic townhouse appearance.

To the rear, the garden is a particular feature, arranged over a series of terraces overlooking the Kennet & Avon Canal. A paved terrace adjoining the house provides an ideal seating area with attractive views along the water. The garden rises to a lawn bordered by mature shrubs and well-stocked beds, creating privacy and a soft, informal feel. Winding paths lead to further seating areas set within dense planting, while upper terraces and a summerhouse offer additional spaces to enjoy the setting and elevated views.
