Away: Listed townhouse in Central Bath

Bath: a four-storey Georgian property on a terrace of similarly fine listed houses

WHAT YOU GET: Three bedrooms, two bathrooms, study, dining room, kitchen, drawing room, conservatory, courtyard garden, three lower ground-floor vault rooms.

WHERE IT IS: On a terrace in a residential area of the city. The shops and restaurants of Great Pulteney Street are a short stroll away, and the railway station and Theatre Royal are also within walking distance.

UPSIDE: The street is rather quiet, despite its central location, and the large Henrietta Park is close by.

DOWNSIDE: No private parking, so you have to fight for a resident’s place on the street outside. Also, the garden is not that large.

COST: £595,000
