4 bedroom terraced house

A superb grade II listed Bath townhouse in one of Bath’s most beautiful and elegant terraces.

Description

2 Prior Park Buildings is a beautifully restored, Grade II listed townhouse within this most popular terrace. Arguably one of Bath’s prettiest locations and terraces, the property enjoys an idyllic location close to Widcombe and the city of Bath.

Prior Park Buildings is constructed of mellow Bath stone elevations with a handsome façade. The property has been improved significantly in recent years yet retains its fine architectural detailing such as intricate cornicing and original fireplaces which sits well alongside some contemporary fixtures and fittings.

The accommodation is very well planned and arranged over four floors. The ground floor is laid out and designed as the perfect informal open-plan living/dining space with a wide opening leading into the kitchen. The kitchen has been much improved with a central island unit at the heart of the design. In addition at ground floor level is a utility room and wc.

The first floor drawing room is beautifully presented with full-height sash windows, tall corniced ceiling, wooden floors and period marble fireplace; an elegant room overlooking the garden and stream at the front. Also at first floor level is a study that could provide a fourth bedroom. There is a well-appointed bathroom off the half landing.

On the second floor is a luxurious principal bedroom suite with stunning bathroom. On the third floor are two further bedrooms and a bathroom.

OUTSIDE
The much admired façade of Prior Park Buildings is due to the attractive front gardens, walkway and gently flowing stream sheltered by mature trees including the splendid Magnolia to the front of number 2.

To the rear, a terrace leads from the kitchen with steps up to the patios bordered by Bath Stone walling and shrubs.

Of particular note is the detached double garage; a very rare commodity.
