History

The original buildings of Isabella Place, to the rear, are believed to have been built around 1770 with the fronts added around 1800. The builders were known as Harrold and Butler. The terrace, as we know it, now looks like a row of Georgian townhouses and gets its name from Isabella, the third wife of the Viscount Hawarden who funded the rebuilding and addition of the fronts. Over the years the houses have been used as lodging houses, convalescent homes, schools and an academy for young ladies. Number 75 is the only property in the terrace divided into apartments.

Location

Combe Down sits on a level ridge approximately 1.25 mile (2 km) to the south of Bath city centre. It sits at an altitude of 500ft and hence has always been renowned for its clean air quality with many moving from the city for this reason. The village is adjoined to the north by large areas of natural woodland with public footpaths offering stunning panoramic views overlooking the city and equally gratifying views of the Cotswold (AONB) valleys to the south. There is simply no other village like it on the outskirts of the city with such a wide range of local amenities and schooling. This makes it a very popular place for families and those looking for an area with a rural feeling but still within walking distance of the city. You will find every level of schooling in the local vicinity with three nurseries, two academy primary schools, Ralph Allen academy senior school and two independent schools in Prior Park and Monkton Combe, both with pre-prep, prep and senior schools.
