Terraced house for sale in Beaufort West, Bath, Somerset BA1

Packed with original features, 5 Beaufort West is on the market for the first time in 23 years. It's a classic Georgian townhouse in a terrace of 15 similar properties, the front of the houses having generous gardens, so the buildings are set back from the London Road. The rear of the terrace is accessed on St Saviours Road, with number 5 having its own car port there.
Inside, glazed doors separate the entrance from the hall, creating an inner porch. A transom window allows light through above the front door and into the elegant hallway. The original stone staircase is straight ahead, and the two living spaces on this floor are to the right. The sitting/dining room has an iron fireplace with marble mantle, flanked either side with built-in cupboards; there's pretty detailing on the
coving and a large sash window with views to the lush front garden.

The kitchen/breakfast room features a gas Aga, Bath stone fireplace and wooden floorboards. There are garden views and a glazed door provides access to the rear walled garden.

On the first floor, the spacious living room with generous Georgian ceiling height, spans the width of the house and has two floor-to-ceiling windows (with Juliet balconies) overlooking the terrace's front gardens. An iron and marble fireplace is an attractive focal point.

The second room on this floor is a bedroom, again with a fireplace and built-in cupboards either side.

The second floor has two further bedrooms, a bedroom/study and a large linen cupboard on the landing. There's a small staircase up to the 'third' floor where the main bathroom is.

At the front, hedging provides privacy in the garden, with access via a wrought iron gate. A path leads up to the front door. To the right, a gravelled area is framed by beds with mature shrubs, a magnolia tree and roses.

The rear walled garden is on two levels. Access from the kitchen is onto a circular paved dining terrace with planting tumbling over the raised beds. A wisteria climbs along one wall and across the rear of the house. Steps up to the second level are to another terrace with corner 'summerhouse' and a wooden framed car port. There's a gate and 'garage' doors here to St Saviours the road behind the property.

Beaufort West is in Larkhall village, just 1.2 miles from the centre of Bath and has a

a local theatre, community hall and several schools for all ages. Nearby Alice Park is a
popular place for locals with a play park, tennis courts and cafe. Larkhall is well placed

primary schools locally, in addition to an excellent selection of both independent and
