The entrance and reception hall are most welcoming; light and spacious, walls lined with bookcases and original built in storage for outdoor wear. The formal dining room has floor to ceiling windows overlooking the garden, which can be reached from this floor as well as the lower ground. It also features a fireplace and wooden floorboards as do many rooms in the house.

The Regency staircase is Bath stone down to the lower ground and up to the first floor; it continues in wood to further levels. Down to the kitchen, the ceilings are surprisingly high and the rooms light and spacious with stone tiled flooring, wooden units and granite worktops. A utility is in the vault space and there s access to a small courtyard at the front. There s an abundance of pantries and store cupboards under the stairs and along the length of the hall leading to the garden door which opens onto a terrace. A breakfast dining room has tongue and groove panelling to dado level, and a window seat with views to the garden.

The first floor has a study at the front of the house and an impressive sitting room at the rear; its oversized windows framing the trees in the garden and allowing the room to fill with light. The principal bedroom suite is on the second floor, its elevation allowing far reaching views to the hills of Bath. There s a second bedroom here too and two further bedrooms on the third floor, as well as a bathroom and a hall lined with storage space.

The walled garden has an ideal south west facing aspect, its planting and design offering different spaces to enjoy. Close to the house is a paved dining terrace which can be accessed from both the lower and ground floors. The garden has a woodland glade feel, with mature shrubs, roses and rhododendrons, and trees on either side and lawn at its centre. At the end of the garden, a sheltered spot is gravlled, creating a second dining area.

Sion Place is on the lower slopes of beautiful Bathwick Hill. It s a much sought after address with superb views of Bath and a minute s walk from Kennet and Avon canal and pathway that winds its way through the city. There s also easy access to Bathwick Meadows, several acres of National Trust land.
