4 bed terraced house for sale

Chapel Row, Bath, Somerset BA1

Arranged over five floors, this elegant Georgian townhouse offers the best of city centre living. The hallway has decorative wall panelling painted in soft, historic hues; this continues into the two reception rooms, where discreet storage sits within the panelling. Separated by central 'wedding doors', both rooms have ironwork fireplaces, column radiators and hessian carpeting, with windows at either end, a window seat to the rear and two sash windows with working shutters to the front.

Downstairs, on the way to the kitchen/dining room, there's a semi‐glazed door to the courtyard garden on the half landing and, a few steps down, an under‐stairs utility cupboard with washer/dryer. The kitchen and dining room have underfloor heating, units and counter tops in natural materials, a built in fridge/freezer, a double butler's sink, white 'brick‐work' tiling and generous shelving, plus access to the vaults.

The upper floors provide four bedrooms and two bathrooms, including an elegant first‐floor bedroom with three floor‐to‐ceiling windows and a vaulted top‐floor bedroom with exposed beams.

The rear walled garden offers a private and atmospheric space for outdoor dining and relaxing. A paved lower terrace sits directly outside the kitchen, with room for a table and seating, while stone steps lead to a raised, leafy garden framed by mature shrubs, climbing plants and small trees. The planting softens the Bath stone walls and creates year round greenery, with an ornamental urn providing a focal point. Low maintenance yet characterful, it's a tranquil retreat in the heart of the city.

Chapel Row is in the heart of Bath city centre. The street takes its name from a chapel designed by John Wood nearby (demolished in 1875). It lies adjacent to Queen Square, with its lawns, gravel pathways and the central obelisk created in honour of Frederick, Prince of Wales.

Royal Victoria Park is only a few minutes' walk away, offering 57 acres of open parkland and botanical gardens. Bath provides an exceptional range of independent retailers, restaurants, museums, theatres and galleries, all within easy reach. The city is also well regarded for its excellent local schools, and the University of Bath has an international reputation, including elite sports and Olympic training facilities.
