A wonderfully preserved Georgian townhouse dating back to 1766 has just hit the market with Knight Frank for £1.65 million. 6 Miles’ Buildings is one of nine townhouses on a peaceful, pedestrianised street in central Bath. The house is brimful of really special period features and, with three to four bedrooms, three bathrooms and two living rooms, would make a dreamy family home.
The house spans four floors, with rooms thoughtfully designed to complement period elements, like the grand sash windows that flood the house with natural light, the functional fireplaces, high ceilings, and original wooden staircases. The house’s renovation was sensitively done, but doesn’t compromise on modern amenities: everything from the poured concrete floors in the basement to the stainless steel kitchen and marble bathroom all ensure that it feels fresh and liveable.
The ground floor opens into a hallway with flagstone flooring and a clear view through the house. To the right of the hall, you’ll find a large study-cum-library which could also be adapted into a formal dining area. The bright sitting room has a restored wooden and marble fireplace, and three sash windows with painted shutters which frame a picture-perfect garden.
