Town house for sale in Royal Crescent, Bath BA1

Location

The Royal Crescent, one of Bath’s most iconic landmarks, was built between 1767 and 1775 and designed by John Wood the Younger. This impressive landmark is arranged around a perfect lawn overlooking Royal Victoria Park and forms a sweeping crescent of 30 Grade I listed terrace houses. It is without doubt one of the greatest examples of Georgian architecture anywhere in the United Kingdom. The 500-foot-long crescent has an impressive ha-ha, which was designed to keep grazing animals out of the more formal areas of the garden. Residents of Royal Crescent are allowed access to the Crescent Lawn, from where the splendour of the unique architecture of the Royal Crescent can be best appreciated. Today, the Royal Crescent is home to the five-star hotel The Royal Crescent Hotel & Spa, a museum of Georgian life at No. 1 Royal Crescent, and private housing. Bath is a World Heritage Site famed for its Roman heritage and Georgian architecture that offers a wide variety of cultural, leisure, sports and shopping facilities along with a mainline rail link to London Paddington (journey time from 75 minutes) and Bristol Temple Meads (journey time from 15 minutes). Junction 18 of the M4 is approximately 11 miles north.
