Description
Situated on a no-through road on the prestigious slopes of Bathwick Hill, moments from the centre of Bath, No. 6 Darlington Place was built circa 1824 by John Pinch the Elder and is an exquisitely presented Georgian townhouse. Constructed of Bath stone elevations under a slate tiled roof the property is full of charm and character and has many architectural details typical of the period.
Sitting over four floors, and linked by the original Bath stone cantilever staircase, this is a beautiful home. Of particular note are the principal reception rooms, the impressive drawing room with folding wedding doors has the most incredible far reaching panoramic views looking out over the whole city towards Bath Abbey. The withdrawing room has beautiful integrated cabinetry with space for plenty of books! Historic ornate fireplaces in both these rooms provide a stunning focal point. The full height windows, some with ornate gold corner plinths, flood the house with light, and the views only get better as you move upstairs to the principal bedroom. The top floor has a cosy feel and is home to three further bedrooms and shower room and WC.
The lower ground floor is level with the rear gardens and houses the large open plan kitchen and dining room. A utility room, vaulted studio with skylight and a traditional vault sit to the front of the property as well as a shower room & WC.
The walled gardens to the front and rear are beautifully planted. A patio terrace sits immediately to the rear of the house with lawned sections, and there is a pretty wood frame arbour seating area halfway down the garden. There is gated access to the end of the garden that leads to Sydney Buildings and the canal-side walks.
