6 bedroom terraced house

This beautiful Georgian townhouse stands on the corner of one of Bath's most notable streets, set off The Circus and opposite the Assembly Rooms. The property benefits from south and west facing aspects and light streams in through the tall sash windows. Decorated throughout by the current owners this elegant house combines modern living with period detail. Architectural features have been retained including working shutters, ornate fireplaces, intricate cornicing, plaster ceiling roses, as well as a rare whistle pipe system from upper levels to lower level, a Georgian rainwater collecting tank for an upper floor WC and a Georgian basin. There is a very rare sauce stove in the original kitchen, similar to that at Hampton Court.
The spacious accommodation is arranged over five floors. There is an impressive entrance hall at the centre of the house where a fine staircase rises to the upper floors. The principal rooms facing south on to Bennett Street are particularly grand, and all look out to the famous Assembly Rooms where fashionable Georgians would gather. Upstairs on the first floor, wedding doors lead off a spacious landing to a generous living room featuring an elaborate ceiling. Further wedding doors from the landing open to a kitchen/breakfast room with a variety of fitted units, high quality appliances and a stylish central island. These rooms are at the heart of the house and are ideal for entertaining whilst enjoying views across the city and its world heritage landmarks. There are five bedrooms in the main house arranged over the upper two floors. The principal bedroom benefits from southerly views towards the Abbey and has direct access to an adjacent bathroom. There is a large dressing room to the other side of the landing and a double bedroom served by a separate cloakroom. On the upper floor are three further bedrooms, a dressing room and a bathroom. The lower ground floor offers the option of additional accommodation to the main house or could provide a self contained apartment. It can be accessed internally from the entrance hall but also enjoys its own private entrance from the paved courtyard.

Russell Street was designed and constructed by John Wood the Younger in c1771-1773 in conjunction with the Assembly Rooms following on from his seminal work at the Royal Crescent. The property is situated in the heart of Bath, a World Heritage site. There is a comprehensive range of retail outlets, many independent boutiques, fine restaurants, cafes and wine bars. Also, within 1 mile of the property are cultural and recreational amenities including numerous art galleries and museums, Bath Abbey, the Roman Baths, and Bath Thermae Spa, as well as open parks and gardens. There are well regarded schools in both the state and independent sectors and a mainline rail link to London Paddington (journey time from 75 minutes) and Bristol Temple Meads (journey time from 15 minutes). Junction 18 of the M4 motorway is 9.5 miles to the north and Bristol International airport is some 19 miles to the west.
