Location

This charming family home sits in a superb position in the very heart of Bath, just off Queen Square. The buildings along Charlotte Street are a mix of classic Georgian and later Victorian styles, with The Old Rectory located adjacent to the spectacular former Percy Chapel, which we believe it once served, and opposite the former Moravian Chapel and the old Bath Savings Bank. The architectural significance and historical context of Charlotte Street make it a notable part of Bath's heritage. The historic city centre, with its array of popular restaurants, high street and independent shops and cafes, historic pubs, choice of cinemas, the renowned Theatre Royal and other cultural and leisure amenities is just a few minutes walk away. You’re just a short stroll from Royal Victoria Park, the Botanical Gardens and the lawns of The Royal Crescent, making this the perfect location for family life. The Rec, home of Bath Rugby, and the Thermae Bath Spa are both a 10 minute walk away. Bath is well-served by a choice of excellent state and independent schools all within easy reach, and The Old Rectory is ideal for commuting, being a 15 minute walk to Bath Spa Station with it regular direct train links to London Paddington (80 minutes) Bristol Temple Meads (10 minutes); the M4 motorway is a 15 minute drive.

Entering the property, you are greeted with a welcoming hallway featuring a turning staircase providing access to both the lower and upper levels. To the right is an elegant drawing room which enjoys a warm and inviting ambience, further enhanced by the parquet flooring, which flows seamlessly throughout the ground floor rooms. The drawing room is further complemented by the ornate fireplace, adding character and grandeur to the room. Inset shelving and cupboards on either side of the fireplace make a perfect display for books and ornaments, and a generous bay window overlooks Charlotte Street and the former chapel opposite. Off the drawing room is a charming anteroom, which could be used as a study, craft room or bar area. To the left of the hallway is a second reception room, currently set up as a home office. Take the steps down to the wonderfully light and airy garden room, open the bi-fold doors and step out into the south facing upper courtyard, a relaxing space to enjoy al fresco entertaining.
