Beaufort West, Bath, Somerset, BA1

Step into a world of Georgian elegance with this beautiful four-storey Grade II listed townhouse. Built circa 1800, it is dressed in Bath stone to the front and rear, boasting many period features throughout. Conveniently positioned in the picturesque neighbourhood of Larkhall, renowned for its vibrant atmosphere with beautiful period homes, independent shops, and eateries, it is just a twenty-minute level walk to the city centre with its world-class attractions and amenities, yet close to the Kennet & Avon Canal and the rolling Somerset countryside. One can truly enjoy the best of both worlds living here. Thoughtfully updated from top to bottom and seamlessly blending historical charm with modern comforts, this stunning residence includes a ground floor self-contained apartment. ‘We were initially drawn to the house’s beautiful frontage and its easy access to London Road, providing a level walk to town with regular bus services. What’s more, Larkhall village with its award-winning butchers, deli, cafes, greengrocers, florist, and theatre offers convenience and a strong sense of community was a huge pull,’ say the owners. They continue, ‘we've taken numerous steps to maintain the property's prime condition and honour its history. This includes updating three bathrooms, restoring a missing Georgian fireplace, and installing authentic wrought iron stairs that reflect the original design.’ Furthermore, the entire house has been freshly painted inside and out. The basement accommodation provides excellent flexibility within the property, serving either as an additional floor of the house or as a completely separate living space. It’s worth noting that over the past four years, the apartment has successfully operated it as an Airbnb, yielding an annual gross return of approximately £16,000.

‘The house has got so many great qualities, including beautiful sunny front and back gardens, and a roomy garage.’

‘We couldn't be happier with our neighbours and are incredibly lucky and grateful to be living in such a great neighbourhood. Beaufort West is a safe and friendly street with everyone looking out for each other.’

‘It's difficult to choose a favourite room but the view from the large window in the dining room is a delight.’

‘The large space between our house and the properties opposite is fantastic; we see so much green and beautiful architecture.’

‘We love the character of the house with its high ceilings, decorative cornices, sash windows and working shutters.’

‘Schools for all ages are easy to access and there are plenty of open green spaces nearby to enjoy some freedom.’
