With its pink-toned stonework and distinctive Victorian façade, this late 19th-century home for sale offers a refreshing alternative to Bath's iconic Georgian terraces. Set on Widcombe Hill, the three-bedroom property was originally built as part of a row of houses for workers at the nearby Claverton Down stone quarries and now combines period character with thoughtful modern interiors.
Known as Clarence Terrace, the house is approached through a private front garden and a flight of stone steps, while its rock-faced masonry gives it a unique presence on the street.
Inside, the entrance hall leads to a pair of generous, interconnected reception rooms. Currently arranged as a formal dining room and sitting room, both spaces feature wide oak floorboards and tall windows. Sliding double doors allow the rooms to be opened up or separated as required. In the sitting room, a Morso wood burner creates a cosy focal point.
Beyond these lie the charming kitchen, where cream cabinetry sits alongside solid wood worktops. A range-style oven completes the room, while two deep-set windows draw in plenty of light.
Upstairs, two bedrooms occupy the first floor, including the peaceful principal bedroom at the front of the house. Mushroom-grey walls and a wall of black, bespoke wardrobes give the room a sophisticated feel. The second bedroom is painted in a calming blue and has its own fireplace.
A beautifully considered bathroom completes the floor, combining plaster-pink walls with sage-green tiles, a freestanding roll-top bath, Corston Architectural Detail fittings, and In Opera Terrazzo flooring. It also has a chic walk-in shower with gold fittings, and a tall wooden cupboard perfect for towels and linens.
Further up the house is the sensitive loft conversion, which provides a third bedroom beneath the eaves and a convenient WC. This space is currently used as a study, and features a symmetrical skylight.
Outside, the generous landscaped garden has been carefully divided. Pretty flower and vegetable beds fill the raised planters, while numerous seating areas provide places to dine alfresco or simply enjoy the peaceful surroundings. A private right of way at the rear of the garden offers an alternative entrance and leads directly onto National Trust fields and walking paths.
Despite its tranquil setting, the Somerset property is perfectly placed for enjoying both the surrounding countryside and Bath's historic centre.
Clarence Terrace is on the market with Inigo for £615,000.
