Situation

The property is situated on the west side of Gay Street close to the junction with the Circus in one of Bath's most prestigious locations. There are excellent local amenities in Brock Street and Margaret's Buildings and the City Centre is within close walking distance with its excellent cultural and shopping facilities. Bath Spa Station allows easy access to London Paddington (86 minutes) and Junction 18 of the M4 is approximately 10 miles distance.

Description

16 Gay Street is a Grade 1 listed townhouse which we understand was designed by John Wood between 1754 to 1761 and built together with the adjoining terrace for the London property speculator, Dr Gay. Constructed of traditional Bath Stone elevations under a slate roof the property is arranged over lower ground, ground and three upper floors. Of particular note is the elegant bow on the rear of the property presenting well proportioned light rooms with west facing views towards the Royal Victoria Park.

In more recent years the property has been used as an office building and now the opportunity presents to convert the ground and upper floors back into a single residential dwelling.
