This elegant Georgian terraced house provides graceful rooms with good proportions and is ideal for entertaining. The well-planned accommodation, evenly balanced over three floors, offers superb lateral living space. It is tastefully presented, retaining many original period features and bespoke cabinetry throughout. Entering via an impressive columned portico, the front door opens to a welcoming reception hall with a tessellated floor. An elegant staircase connects the ground floor up to the bedroom accommodation on the first floor and down traditional stone stairs to the lower ground floor. Off the reception hall is a large, bright, double-aspect drawing room of fine proportions that features a period marble fireplace, fine cornicing and ceiling rose, sash windows with shutters to the front of the house, and stripped wood flooring. To the rear aspect, there is an attractive canopied balcony. To the other side of the entrance hall, a light-filled corridor leads to the formal dining room. This reception room also benefits from the south-westerly views across the garden to the city of Bath and beyond. Completing the living accommodation, the kitchen/breakfast room is well-designed and fitted with bespoke wooden units and polished limestone floors. Meticulous care has been taken in the design to be sympathetic to the heritage of the building whilst providing for all modern appliances. There is plenty of space for a breakfast table positioned by the window to enjoy views of the private garden across the street. Upstairs are four double bedrooms. The principal bedroom is a double aspect with beautiful views both to the front across the fields and to the back across the gardens and city. Bathrooms are on the half landings in an Edwardian extension that was built to the full height of the property. These are fitted with modern suites that reflect the style of that period, one being an Art Deco style shower room and the other an Edwardian style bathroom.
The lower ground floor provides direct access to the garden. There is a sitting room or reading room, perfect for cosy evenings in the winter next to an open fire or lovely summer evenings with the French doors thrown open to the garden. Next to this is a further sitting room or study also with French doors leading out to a paved dining terrace. There are two workshops one with access to the street via the front courtyard of the property. In addition there are three open cellars.
The pavement to the front of the property is particularly wide. There is a perfectly formed front paved garden enclosed by iron railings leading to an impressive columned portico. Four of the windows to the front of the house have decorative iron balconettes. To the rear, canopied balconies, added circa 1880, run across the two principal reception rooms. The enchanting rear garden is accessed via the sitting rooms at garden level or the utility. There is a dining terrace of pennant flagstones with a pergola providing the perfect spot for al fresco dining. The walled garden is mainly lawned and attractively planted with box and lavender. There are mature trees and climbers and delightful nooks to relax in to enjoy the views of Georgian crescents, church spires and beautiful sunsets. A garden gate leads to an area of garden gently sloping down to a peaceful backwater of the Kennet & Avon canal. It is a haven for birds including moorhens, kingfishers and herons. The house also owns a separate large area of garden opposite to the house that borders National Trust land. This is planted with fruit trees and wildflowers.

Sydney Buildings is one of Bath's most sought-after addresses due to its quiet location with easy access to the city. Perfectly positioned on the lower slopes off Bathwick Hill, in a peaceful residential street bordering Bathwick Hill fields, this Grade II listed Georgian double-fronted townhouse has a wonderful southwest rear aspect and panoramic views across Bath. Residents of this attractive terrace only have a short stroll to enjoy Widcombe's highly regarded pubs, restaurants, and interesting independent shops, including a butchers, greengrocers and Prior Park Garden Centre. The commuter has an easy walk to Bath Spa station. The Kennet and Avon Canal is nearby, and the property's garden slopes down to a small backwater of the canal that is a haven for wildlife and bird watching. Beautiful walks can be enjoyed in all directions. There is easy access via a 'kissing gate' on to the expansive swathe of National Trust land that rises away to the east and is famous for its Skyline Walk. Sydney Buildings is also well placed for Widcombe Primary and Junior Schools, and other well-regarded private schools are within walking distance, including The Paragon School, Prior Park College and King Edwards School.
