A magnificent Georgian villa situated on the south side of Bathwick Hill. Constructed circa 1817 of Bath stone elevations under a slate roof, this substantial villa is attributed to the acclaimed architect Henry Goodridge. Architecturally superb, 23 Bathwick Hill has fine detailing both inside and out. Externally, the mellow stone elevations are enhanced by small wrought iron balconies as well as a large balcony that extends across much of the width of the building to the rear.
Upon entering there is an entrance porch that leads into a grand reception hall with original tiled floor. A beautiful stone staircase with mahogany handrail leads to the upper floors. Of particular note is the stunning drawing room. The proportions are superb and the ceiling details are exquisite. There is a beautiful bay window overlooking the gardens and double doors lead onto the wrought iron balcony.
Also of similar grandeur is the adjacent room which has access to the same balcony – currently used as a master bedroom with en-suite, it could easily provide a further excellent reception room. Both rooms have beautiful fireplaces. Also on the ground floor are a study and a guest bedroom with en-suite facilities.
The lower ground floor sits at garden level. There is a very pretty sitting room with a bay window and French doors leading into the garden. There is an open fireplace and wooden floors. The kitchen/breakfast room has the original dresser and an Aga that sits well alongside bespoke kitchen units. Also on the lower ground floor is an office, utility room, shower room, laundry and numerous vaults providing good store rooms.
On the first floor are three bedrooms, a bathroom and separate shower room. The second floor is currently laid out as a separate apartment. The views from here are breathtaking. There is a living room that steps up slightly into a dining room, a kitchen, two bedrooms and a bathroom.
Outside there is separate pedestrian access to the front as well as automated gates that lead into a parking area. There
