Belvedere Villas, Bath, Somerset, BA1 5HS

Number one Belvedere Villa is a classic, Grade II listed, Georgian townhouse in a terrace of four similar properties. Featuring many desirable period details - high ceilings, sash windows, wooden floors - it has four floors, plus a generous attic room. Inside, on the ground floor, there are two main rooms - one at the front and one at the rear of the house; the hallway and staircase are central. An iron fireplace with marble surround is the focal point of the front room, with shelving built into the alcove and two large, sash windows to the front garden. The larger, rear, room benefits from three windows with views of trees and glimpses to the hills beyond. The kitchen/dining room is on the lower ground floor - the dining room formed from a double glazed conservatory extension that opens onto the east-facing garden: it’s a lovely, light space. The kitchen has tiled floors, white units and a mix of marble/black worktops. There’s a central island with breakfast bar, ceramic butler’s sink, range cooker/hob and built-in appliances. Also on this floor is a WC, a utility/work room and a door to the vaults. Upstairs to first floor, the high ceilings and elevated views are at their best. Both rooms offer built-in storage/wardrobes, with further built-in storage in the hallway. The second floor has another generous bedroom with attractive fireplace and two large and modern bathrooms, one with a bath. A steep staircase leads up to the attic bedroom where ceilings are lower, but still a good height and access to the loft.

The front garden has iron fencing and gate onto a paved path to the front door. Either side is mature hedging with easy-to-maintain gravel covering most of the rest. The rear garden is accessed via the dining room on the lower ground floor. Mature shrubs are either side of the boundary, with faux grass at its centre. Bevedere Villas is on the lower slopes of Lansdown, one of the most sought after locations in Bath. Adjacent to Hedgemead Park, the property is less than half a mile’s walk to the city centre, offering easy access to all of Bath's shops, restaurants, bars and entertainment facilities, as well as its wide range of cultural attractions. There is also a huge range of sporting opportunities in and around Bath including golf, cricket, horse racing and rugby. A number of good state and independent schools are within easy reach, including Kingswood and The Royal High School, also located on Lansdown.
