5 bedroom terraced house for sale

An elegant Grade II Georgian townhouse near Bath’s historic centre with open views to both the front and rear elevations. Description This quality home on Rivers Street stands out as an exceptional Georgian townhouse, beautifully positioned on a quiet residential street and enjoying open, far reaching views to both the front and rear aspects. Built circa 1776 and attributed to John Wood the Younger, the house combines architectural pedigree with an unusually generous flow of space and an outstanding south facing courtyard garden, a rare treat in this part of Bath. The elegant ashlar faade, complete with large multi pane sash windows and a striking pedimented door surround, sets the tone for the fine period detail found throughout the home. Inside, the property showcases superb Georgian craftsmanship, including ornate Adam style ceilings in the drawing and dining rooms, refined chimneypieces, and wide panelled doors. The current owners have carried out thoughtful enhancements, resulting in versatile, stylish accommodation arranged over five well proportioned floors (circa 3,700 sq ft). A broad and welcoming hallway creates an immediate sense of scale highlighted with its cantilever staircase running from the lower floor up to the second floor landing. The classic Georgian layout of two reception rooms on both the ground and first floors has been beautifully preserved, offering an excellent balance of formal and informal living. The dining room opens directly onto the courtyard garden through a Dutch style door, drawing in natural light and connecting the interior with the south facing outside. The lower level features a well appointed kitchen/breakfast room with direct access to the rear courtyard and a useful vault/wine cellar. A spacious front room-currently arranged as a home office-offers flexibility for dining, work, or additional living space, with access to the front vaults currently used as a utility room and courtyard. The second floor hosts a generous principal bedroom suite with an en suite shower room, alongside a further large double bedroom. The third floor provides three additional bedrooms and a family bathroom, making this a home that adapts effortlessly to family life, guests, or work from home needs. Externally The south facing walled garden is a standout feature-private, sheltered, and predominantly paved for ease of maintenance. Its orientation ensures sunshine throughout the day, creating a delightful setting for outdoor dining and relaxation with family, friends or just yourselves.
