6 bedroom townhouse

A Grade II listed Georgian townhouse at the centre of a convex crescent of nine terrace houses – the 'west wing' to the prestigious Lansdown Crescent. Built in the early 1790s, Lansdown Place West was designed by John Palmer and features beautiful architectural details from the period.
Inside, an elegant hallway with original stone flooring leads to a central staircase, where light floods through to all floors from the huge skylight on the top floor. The dining room has generous proportions, wooden floorboards, an attractive fireplace and windows with views to the trees beyond. A study, with fitted bookcases, cupboards and fireplace, has views to the garden and rear courtyard below. There's further storage on this floor in a passageway leading to the WC and garden door.

Down to the lower ground floor, the spacious hallway becomes a cloakroom, with fitted coat rails and cupboards and leading to the kitchen. Here, windows look out onto the front courtyard and street beyond, the room has limestone flooring, a large Aga range, white kitchen units, pale worktops and a walk-in larder. Also at the front, there's access to vaults and to the courtyard with steps leading up to street level. The quality of fittings and generous storage continues even into the utility room, which has access onto the rear courtyard.
The basement has a guest bedroom suite and a vaulted room currently used for extra storage.
Upstairs, to the first floor, an elegant drawing room has views south to Bath and the hills beyond and a bedroom, with fitted wardrobes and storage, mirrors the footprint of the study on the floor below. The historic detailing continues throughout every floor, with 12-panel windows with shutters and exceptional carved detailing on door surrounds - all enhanced by the elegant decor in pale neutrals.

The whole of the second floor is the principle bedroom suite: the landing wall is lined with built-in wardrobes and there's a separate dressing room at the side of the bedroom. Cast iron column radiators are positioned under each windows here - and throughout the house - it's a warm, comfortable home. The bathroom has a rollmop bath, an ornate double sink unit and limestone flooring; it oozes understated luxury.
On the top floor, there's a huge pitched skylight - one of the reasons this home is so filled with light. There are three bedrooms, two at the front and one at the rear, plus a shower room.
Gardens and Grounds:

A long 120ft, rectangular, walled garden, mostly paved, can be accessed from the ground floor, and has several areas for al fresco dining and relaxing; the walls lower on the west side allowing the late afternoon sun through. The walls are lined with flowerbeds with simple planting of shrubs and hedging, and trees at the far end. Beyond this is a door to the garage with power and street access/parking. From the lower ground floor, there are small courtyards front and rear, and a store room.

Lansdown Place West is one of the most sought after locations in Bath due to its elevated position overlooking the city. The local community is well served, with the city centre just half a mile walk, offering easy access to all Bath's shops, restaurants, bars and entertainment facilities, as well as its wide range of cultural attractions. There's an active residents' association and The High Common and Victoria Park are within easy reach on foot.
Bath has a good range of sporting opportunities including golf, cricket, horse racing and rugby, and a fine selection of schools - Kingswood and The Royal High schools are within easy walking distance as is St. Stephen's primary school, while Bath University is ranked in the top ten in the country by the Sunday Times.
