6 bed town house for sale

Brock Street, Bath, Somerset BA1

Built in 1767-1770, the fine Georgian townhouses in Brock Street are an example of the work of notable architect John Wood the Younger. Number 11 has been renovated from top to bottom, to exceptional standards, creating an impressive and stylish family home.

Inside, an elegant hallway with ceramic tiled flooring leads to the kitchen. Units with marble worktops are fitted along two walls, with a large island at the centre, making the most of this generous space. The high ceilings and trio of south facing windows make this a light-filled room, with views across the rear garden and beyond to Victoria Park. One of the windows is 'faux' and is in fact a door that opens outside to steps down to the garden. The dining room is connected to the kitchen, both rooms have wooden floorboards, period fireplaces and - as with the rest of the house - new, traditional-style column radiators.

The elegant historic details continue up to the first floor and the drawing and withdrawing rooms, both grand in proportion and design. Arched alcoves frame the fireplaces and new wooden flooring flows between the two spaces.

The second floor is home to hall storage cupboards, two bedrooms and a bathroom with rolltop bath, shower and double vanity unit. The views to the rear improve with each floor, looking south to the rear across the park and to the southern hills, and at the front, across the chimneys and rooftops of elegant Georgian architecture. Three bedrooms and a bathroom are on the third floor.

On the lower floors, there's a reception room with French doors out to the garden terrace, a shower room and an office/guest bedroom. The reception room has kitchen-style storage units and a sink, making it practical for alfresco dining as well as accommodating guests. The cellars include original store rooms for wine/food and a cosy snug or TV/cinema room.

Gardens and Grounds
A rear, south-facing walled garden is accessed from both the lower ground and ground floors. A paved terrace is adjacent to the house; the rest of the garden is lawn with mature shrubs and a tree in flowerbeds running the length of each wall. At the far end, a gate connects the garden to 'The Gravel Walk' - a path within Royal Victoria Park.
