Grade II listed Georgian townhouse with original stone facade
A handsome Grade II listed Georgian townhouse in Widcombe, this five-bedroom home blends original character with improved, contemporary living spaces. High ceilings, sash windows and period stonework sit alongside a modern kitchen, principal suite and flexible top-floor accommodation ideal for guests or multi-generational use. The well-landscaped rear garden opens directly onto the Kennet & Avon Canal towpath, providing a rare waterside connection minutes from Bath city centre.
Practical strengths include generous room sizes across five floors, a useful lower-ground kitchen and dining arrangement, a utility room and on-street permit parking. The property is freehold and offers around 2,518 sq ft of accommodation — attractive for a large family or buyers seeking flexible space close to excellent schools and transport links.
Buyers should note the home’s listed status: any alterations will be subject to planning constraints and likely additional costs. The stone walls are likely uninsulated (as-built), the EPC is D, and council tax is in the upper band F — all factors to consider for running and improvement costs. Crime in the immediate area is reported above average; however, the central Widcombe location and excellent local amenities remain strong lifestyle draws.
Overall, this is a substantial period home with immediate liveability and scope to enhance energy performance and layout within listed-building limits. It will suit families or purchasers wanting authentic Georgian character, waterside access and close walking distance to Bath’s centre.
