Description 1 Widcombe Crescent is an exceptional Grade I listed end-of-terrace residence, distinguished by its significant architectural merit. A fine example of an early Georgian townhouse, it was constructed circa 1799 by Charles Harcourt Masters. The property retains an array of period features characteristic of the era, including high ceilings, ornate cornicing, elegant architraves, and open fireplaces with original surrounds. Currently configured as commercial premises with consent for residential use, the building has benefited from an extensive programme of refurbishment over the years. Further details can be found via the B&NES planning portal (application number 25/00165/FUL). The proportions throughout are particularly impressive, most notably within the magnificent drawing room and adjoining withdrawing room. To the rear, a striking balcony spans the full width of the house, offering superb views across the city and surrounding countryside. The spacious garden is thoughtfully arranged over two levels. The upper terrace provides an ideal setting for outdoor dining and entertaining, while the lower level is predominantly laid to lawn, complemented by low-maintenance shrubs and well-defined borders. The property is perfectly suited to modern family living, offering an excellent setting for both everyday comfort and large-scale entertaining. General Information Bath & North East Somerset Council.
