An elegant double fronted Victorian home with one bedroom annexe

Description
Set within the highly sought after village of Combe Down, 6 Sydenham Terrace is an elegant and generously appointed Victorian home offering superb family accommodation across two floors, complemented by a versatile detached annexe and useful garaging to the front. With its classic proportions, beautifully bright interiors and attractive garden, this represents a rare opportunity to acquire a substantial home in one of Bath’s most desirable residential enclaves.
Occupying the prized end position of this attractive Victorian terrace, the property benefits from being significantly larger than its neighbours. Its extended footprint and additional accommodation provide outstanding flexibility, making it perfectly suited to modern family living.

Accommodation

The property is entered at the front, where a useful reception/craft room lies to the right - ideal as a study, creative space or secondary sitting room. The principal reception room is of excellent proportions and features a striking original stone fireplace surround with wood burning stove, creating a warm and inviting focal point.

Beyond this, the dining room flows naturally into a well designed kitchen, fitted with a range of base and wall units. Adjacent lies a practical utility room, a shower room, and access out to the garden. It is worth noting that a cupboard in the kitchen conceals a connecting door to the annexe, currently blocked but offering potential reinstatement if desired.

On the first floor, there are four generous double bedrooms, each enjoying excellent natural light and period charm. A beautifully appointed family bathroom completes the accommodation on this level.

Annexe

The self contained annexe at 6 Sydenham Terrace is one of the property’s most compelling attributes - a beautifully arranged and highly versatile additional dwelling that significantly enhances the home’s adaptability and appeal.

Thoughtfully designed to feel both connected and independent, the annexe offers exceptional scope for multi generational living, private guest accommodation or a supplementary income stream. Its well proportioned layout provides comfortable and autonomous living, making it a rare and valuable asset seldom found in Victorian terraces of this type.

Externally

The gardens at 6 Sydenham Terrace form a truly enchanting extension of the home and are peaceful, private and beautifully in keeping with the character of the property. Positioned at the end of the terrace, the house benefits from a notably wider and more generous plot than its neighbours, resulting in outdoor space that feels both substantial and secluded. At the end of the garden is invaluable off street parking

Location
6 Sydenham Terrace occupies a highly desirable position on Tyning Road in the heart of Combe Down, one of Bath’s most sought after and characterful village districts. Set on the southern slopes of the city, Combe Down is renowned for its strong community, handsome period architecture and immediate access to both open countryside and excellent local amenities. There are fantastic walks in the vicinity including access to the Bath Skyline Walk.

The property enjoys an attractive outlook within a quiet residential setting, yet remains only a short stroll from the village’s independent shops, cafés and everyday conveniences. Nearby Priory Road and The Avenue provide easy access to a range of facilities including a delicatessen, bakery, pharmacy, convenience stores and well loved local pubs.

Families are particularly well served, with several highly regarded schools close by, including Combe Down Primary School, Prior Park College, Monkton Combe School and Ralph Allen. The area also benefits from numerous woodland walks and green spaces, with the historic Firs Field and the picturesque limestone plateau of Combe Down offering beautiful routes for walking and cycling.

Despite the village feel, Bath city centre is just a short drive or bus journey away, offering a wide array of shopping, dining and cultural attractions. Commuters benefit from excellent connections: Bath Spa station provides rail services to Bristol, London and the West Country, while the A36, A37 and A46 offer convenient routes out of the city.
