Description
Situated on a no-through road on the prestigious slopes of Bathwick Hill, moments from the centre of Bath, No. 6 Darlington Place was built circa 1824 by John Pinch the Elder and is an exquisitely presented Georgian townhouse. Constructed of Bath stone elevations under a slate tiled roof the property is full of charm and character and has many architectural details typical of the period.
Sitting over four floors, and linked by the original Bath stone cantilever staircase, this is a beautiful home. Of particular note are the principal reception rooms, the impressive drawing room with folding wedding doors has the most incredible far reaching panoramic views looking out over the whole city towards Bath Abbey. The withdrawing room has beautiful integrated cabinetry with space for plenty of books! Historic ornate fireplaces in both these rooms provide a stunning focal point. The full height windows, some with ornate gold corner plinths, flood the house with light, and the views only get better as you move upstairs to the principal bedroom. The top floor has a cosy feel and is home to three further bedrooms and shower room and WC.
The lower ground floor is level with the rear gardens and houses the large open plan kitchen and dining room. A utility room, vaulted studio with skylight and a traditional vault sit to the front of the property as well as a shower room & WC.
The walled gardens to the front and rear are beautifully planted. A patio terrace sits immediately to the rear of the house with lawned sections, and there is a pretty wood frame arbour seating area halfway down the garden. There is gated access to the end of the garden that leads to Sydney Buildings and the canal-side walks.

Situation
Darlington Place is a delightful no-through-road in the favourable area of Bathwick. This sought-after residential location is within easy walking distance of the City Centre via Great Pulteney Street. Only a short walk to Bath Spa Station (London Paddington from 76 minutes), and the bus station can be reached via Pulteney Road.

There are local shops and amenities available with a useful Tesco Express, Dexter’s Café, off licence and florists. The University of Bath with its world class sports facilities and Olympic sized pool sits at the top of the hill. The Kennet & Avon Canal runs close-by, and its tow path is accessible from Bathwick Hill, one can travel by bike or by foot to Bradford-On-Avon or to Bristol traffic free along the canal paths and National Cycle Network.

The next steps...

Before making an offer on a property you will want to consider your financial situation, your income and outgoings.

Will you finance the purchase of your next property from the sale of an existing property which can put you in a chain, arrange a mortgage through your bank or buy the property outright.

To help you finance your next property purchase, we have a long established relationship with an independent mortgage broker who can discuss your situation with you.

Remember that having a 'mortgage decision in principle' can make you a more attractive buyer when you make an offer on a property. Contact our mortgage advisers for free, no obligation and impartial advice.

Some advantages of a broker are:

  • They do all the legwork for you, working on your behalf with the lender
  • They compare wholesale mortgage rates from a large number of banks and lenders all at once
  • Their wholesale interest rates can be lower than retail (bank branch) interest rates
  • They offer more loan options because they work with numerous banks and lenders
  • They can finance tricky deals because of their knowledge and various lending partners
  • They are typically easier to get in contact with, and are less bureaucratic.

However advantages of working with your bank are:

  • You may be able to build off an existing relationship (and gain discounts if you have a checking or savings account)
  • You may already know the banker who will handle your mortgage
  • Banks may be more accountable than a smaller shop
  • They may offer lower interest rates in some cases
  • Their ability to add mortgage to existing banking profile and make automatic payments from linked account.

When you see a property you are interested in on our website, call us 24/7 to arrange a viewing. Or if you prefer, get in touch via our website and we will call you back to find a time to view the property that suits you.

Once you’ve found a property you want to buy, it’s time to make an offer. A bit of negotiation is to be expected, however don't offer so little that you end up in a lengthy negotiation process, as you might lose the property altogether if someone else makes a higher bid.

If other offers have been made on a property we aren't legally able to tell you what they are, but we may indicate if they were close to the asking price.

If you have a property to sell, why not see how we can help you.

Or if you’re considering letting your property, we can take the stress out of managing your rental, and our award winning lettings team offer a service that can be tailored to your needs.
