Description
Enjoying a prestigious address in this convenient City Centre location Number 4 Raby Place is a splendid Georgian Townhouse of excellent proportions, having delightful views across Raby Lawn towards Bath Abbey. Designed by the architect John Pinch in 1823, the property is Grade II Listed as being of special architectural or historical interest. Internally the house has many examples of this, such as the detailed plasterwork to cornices and ceilings, deep skirting carved door surrounds, sash windows with working shutters, cantilevered stone staircase and the double bridal doors between the drawing and withdrawing rooms. The exceptionally spacious and versatile accommodation presents a subtle blend of Georgian elegance combined with modern day practical living and contemporary chic. Spread over five floors and offered in good decorative order throughout, the size of the light and airy rooms is accentuated by high ceilings particularly on the ground and first floors. There are currently four bedrooms occupying the second and third floors, the master bedroom of which having an en suite roll top free standing bath. There is also a separate family bathroom.

The principal reception rooms are situated on the ground and first floors with the impressive drawing room looking out over Raby Lawn towards Bath Abbey. Double bridal doors open through to the withdrawing room to the rear. The quality fitted kitchen and adjoining dining room are located on the ground floor together with the utility and a cloakroom.

At lower ground floor level the accommodation is arranged as a self contained one bedroom apartment with its’ own private entrance. There is, however an internal staircase (currently sealed) linking the apartment with the main integral part of the house which could be reopened if required.

Whilst there are many excellent individual features within this townhouse the landscaped gardens have Mediterranean and Californian influences and superbly complement the house in every respect.

The gardens are fairly secluded and comprise various areas of lawn with a wide variety of mature trees and shrubs.
