Description

31 Sion Hill is an elegant Georgian detached townhouse built in the 1830s from the iconic honey coloured Bath stone. The property retains an abundance of its original architectural charm, including a striking cantilevered stone staircase, intricate cornicing, working shutters and several beautiful fireplaces. In the early 1900s, a generous sash window was added on the first floor landing, flooding the central staircase with natural light so that, upon opening the front door, daylight cascades down the stone steps and across the floors in a particularly impressive welcome.

A sensitive yet comprehensive refurbishment was carried out in 2018, bringing new energy to the property. This included the installation of new windows and doors from the dining area onto the west facing terrace, as well as a considered programme of updates designed to enhance comfort and functionality while preserving the house’s historic character.

The property is entered into a wide, light filled hallway at upper ground level with direct access to the rear garden and the sweeping staircase rising to the upper floors. To the front sits a refined sitting room featuring a working fireplace and a lovely bay window with working shutters. To the rear, the well appointed kitchen is fitted with a practical yet stylish Bulthaup design with generous storage; this space opens seamlessly into the dining room, where double doors lead directly out to the west facing terrace and garden beyond.

The first floor hosts a magnificent full width drawing room with an elegant working fireplace and amazing views across Bath, a truly exceptional space for entertaining. To the rear is a generously sized bedroom, a shower room accompanied by a dressing room or study.

The principal bedroom occupies the front of the second floor and benefits from a bathroom with a Jack and Jill arrangement and exceptional views over the City. Two further bedrooms are also located on this level, along with a separate WC.

The lower ground floor offers excellent versatility, comprising an additional double bedroom or further reception room, a useful storage room with a built in airing cupboard with hanging space, a utility/boot room and a shower room. This level also benefits from its own external access, providing potential for older children, guest accommodation, staff use or independent living. There is access to the garden from this level.
