Situation
Dunsford Place is an attractive terrace of Grade II Listed townhouses situated on the most sought-after lower slopes of Bathwick Hill. This address is popular as a walk down the hill leads on to the level and stunning Great Pulteney Street, then into the city centre as well as Bath Spa railway station. Also within a short distance are well regarded schools such as King Edwards and Prior Park College. A school bus from Bathwick Street travels to the schools in Lansdown on the northern slopes. A further benefit of Dunsford Place is it is within the catchment of Bathwick St Mary’s Primary School. The University of Bath is situated at the top of the hill. The extensive National Trust land and famous skyline walk are a short stroll away up the hill. Also adjacent is the Kennet & Avon Canal for some stunning waterside walks.
