Property Description
Bathwick Tower originally formed part of a larger villa, built in 1814, known as Oakwood, and attributed to the eminent Bath architect, Henry Goodridge. It was built for Bath artist Benjamin Barker, younger brother of the famous painter and lithographer, Thomas Barker (of Bath). Today’s dining/family room is the artist’s gallery from that period. The villa’s classical façade overlooks the nearby magnificent, landscaped gardens and Smallcombe Woods. Subsequent enhancements to the building, some of which are by eminent architects, have added to its special interest and overall architectural quality.
From Bathwick Hill a heavy panelled door leads into a large communal reception hallway. The Gallery is accessed at ground level. The door to the apartment leads into the spacious dining/family room. This boasts a stone fireplace with pretty Delft-style tiles, one of three working fireplaces in this apartment, with coved ceiling and attractive part shuttered Venetian style windows and a storage cupboard.
Off the dining room is the principal bedroom with two wardrobes to either side of a recessed dressing table. The contemporary styled en suite shower room has a double sized walk-in shower, vanity unit with wash basin and WC.
Leading from the dining/family room is a bright hallway, which could be used as breakfast room or study with double doors opening onto the kitchen. At the end of the hall is a deep cupboard which houses the gas boiler and fusebox. There is also a partly boarded loft storage area accessed by ladder.
The kitchen has a stylish array of navy painted wooden units and a range of appliances including a Hotpoint fridge/freezer (2024), electric oven with gas hob and condenser dryer and is plumbed for washing machine.
The family ‘Jack and Jill’ bathroom is finished in marble with a stylish Villeroy and Bosh freestanding bath, vanity unit with wash basin, bidet and WC. A door leads to the second bedroom.
The second bedroom overlooks the fabulous nearby gardens to the front of the property has a pretty tiled fireplace with wooden surround and a deep walk-in cupboard with window to the front.
The peaceful and elegant drawing room has a bay with remarkable leaded casement windows in stone mullions overlooking magnificent nearby gardens, an attractive wooden fireplace with ornate tiles, dado rail and ceiling coving. This sumptuous room provides an elegant space for relaxing and entertaining.
