Bathwick Hill villa
Built around 1817 in Bath stone elevations under a slate roof. The attractive villa is attributed to the acclaimed Bath architect Henry Goodridge.
The mellow stone exterior is a signature style for many of the key properties in Bath.
The hallway
The sprawling staircase makes a wonderful first impression. The ornate, geometric floor tiles are a beautiful decorative touch from the Georgian period. The delicate muted pink tone on the wall creates a warm welcome.
The kitchen
The impressive kitchen features characterful high ceilings and large traditional Georgian windows – complete with shutters. The bottle green AGA takes center stage, housed alongside more contemporary painted kitchen units with composition worktops.

The room is generous enough to comfortably hold a modern zinc farmhouse table with eight chairs.
The living room
The main living room on the ground floor is a grand space. French baroque style furniture enhances the decadence of the period architecture. Beautiful bay windows overlook the gardens. From here double doors lead out onto an elegant wrought iron balcony.
The alternative living room, on the lower ground floor, feels more homely – there's even a wall-mounted TV. The warm mustard walls and the plush grey upholstery helps to creates a cosy yet sophisticated feel.
The bedrooms
The master bedroom features plenty of period charm, from the ornate ceiling to the marble fire surround. To add further character there are also double doors leading to another wrought iron balcony.
As far as second bedrooms goes, this is pretty impressive.
The bathroom
The large tiled bathroom has a luxurious silver bateau bath with a view. The room looks like that of a plush hotel, rather than a house.
The exterior
Nestle in the well established grounds you'll find a swimming pool. Could this house get any more dreamy?
This beautiful home is currently on the market with agents Savills, with an asking price £3.85million.
