A Grade II-listed Georgian villa with sweeping views across Bath
THE PROPERTY: Set within landscaped gardens and over half an acre of grounds, Tylehurst is a pastoral idyll without being too far from urban civilisation. This spectacular Georgian villa has extraordinary views across Bath, a heated outdoor swimming-pool and a spacious courtyard for parking.
THE LOCATION: Situated just off Sion Hill, Tylehurst is one of Bath’s most desirable residential addresses. On the northern slopes of Bath, the property offers easy access to the city centre by car or foot, using the Cotswold Way footpath that leads down to fashionable St James’s Square. There are popular schools nearby, leisure facilities at Landsdown Tennis Club or Royal Crescent Hotel, and most of all the luxury of living amid a World Heritage Site.
THE INTERIOR: Tylehurst is no stranger to detail. The entrance porch leads into a fine reception hall with stone floor, decorative cornicing and an exquisite stone staircase that rises to the first floor. The kitchen and dining-room are vast, light and airy, exemplified by four pairs of breath-taking French doors. There is a luxurious master suite and also a guest cottage on site.
WHY WE LOVE IT: While sophisticated Tylehurst has the authentic look of a French chateau or English stately home, this innovative home is equipped with everything required for modern life. Reflecting Bath itself, the property is a culmination of history and cultural evolution. Tylehurst encourages residents to immerse themselves in the city culture surrounding them, while also allowing for comfortable peace and quiet within the spacious grounds.
