Summary:

Used

Location:

Peasedown St. John, Somerset

Description:

An exceptional townhouse in one of Baths most sought-after locations. The well presented and substantial accommodation is across five floors with a significant sense of volume and period elegance that is immediately apparent from entering through the grand door case. It is positioned towards the top of this historic terrace of eleven grand townhouses along the western edge of Sydney Pleasure Gardens. Originally called New Sydney Place, designed by John Pinch the Elder and built in 1804-1808 by the contractor John Jacobs, it is described as “the most beautiful of Bath’s C19 buildings” in Pevsner Architectural Guides. An impressive list of former inhabitants of New Sydney Place include Queen Charlotte, King William IV, and the Duke of Clarence, and the original screen adaption of Jane Austen’s Persuasion was filmed in the house in 1995, proved by the dining room still decorated with trompe l’oeil wall hangings, that were stencilled by the BBC. The rarity of the property is having its wealth of original features as well as still retaining its mews coach house to the rear, providing separate accommodation as well as a double garage and off road parking for three cars. The present owners have successfully used this as a bed and breakfast and saleal investment, and it benefits from its own enclosed and private garden. As well as this, the main house has been arranged to be used either as a whole house, or having the lower ground floor as a self contained two bedroom apartment. The wealth of original detail includes limestone flagstone floors, a cantilevered stone staircase with wrought iron balustrades and inlaid mahogany handrails, fine regency plasterwork and architraves, beautifully carved marble fireplaces, and original sash windows with working shutters. The ground floor reception rooms both have apsidal ends and are accessed through impressive curved wooden doors. The spacious first-floor piano nobile sometimes used as a ballroom boasts.
