LOCATION
In a city so well known for its crescents, St James’s Square stands out as an architectural anomaly. Da-ting from 1793 and comprising only forty-five houses, it is the masterpiece of Architect and Bath stalwart John Palmer and is the only complete architectural square in Georgian Bath. Maintained by the Residents Association St James’s Square Bath (sjsbath.co.uk), for the exclusive use of residents, the central park (which is just over two acres and boasted its own flock of sheep until 2002), is a soft symphony of leafy ancient trees, informal lawns and spring and summer bulbs. A charming range of local amenities (in the adjoining St James’s Street) include a delicatessen, wine bar, newsagent and chemist. Designated a World Heritage City, a wide range of amenities are available in Bath city centre, including extensive shopping, theatre, art galleries and the newly re-opened Holbourne Museum. Commuters will be pleased to note Junction 18 (M4) is only 10 miles north of Bath at Tormarton (accessing London, Bristol, the South West and the Midlands via the M5). Bath Spa Railway Station provides high speed links to London Paddington (90mins approx.), Bristol Temple Meads and the West Country rail network.
