Description

An outstanding property, Tasburgh House is arranged as an excellent family home offering extensive and flexible accommodation over four floors with views of Bath and across the River Avon Valley to Solsbury Hill. It is a fine example of late Victorian architecture with large sash windows beneath tile hung gables, and, unusually for Bath, built using red Norfolk brick. Constructed in 1891 by Mr John Berryman, photographer to Queen Victoria, it has been used more recently as a small hotel before being purchased by the present owners and returned to a single family dwelling house. The building is not listed and is situated adjacent to (but not within) the Bathampton Conservation Area.

The ground floor provides spacious and elegant reception rooms for entertaining off the reception hall, with the large rear reception/family room offering outstanding views across the Avon Valley. Similar views can be obtained from the Terrace on the eastern side of the property or from the balcony accessed from the rear reception/ family room.

The first floor contains four bedrooms with ensuite bathrooms with a further small bedroom/study. The second floor has three bedrooms with ensuite bathrooms and another room which can be used either as a games room or as a bedroom.

The lower ground floor can be accessed either internally or externally and includes three rooms with ensuite bathrooms plus a utility room, plant room, office and access to the garden beyond; it has the potential to be used as a separate flat/granny flat.

A spacious gravel parking area with a double detached garage is situated in front of the house and can accommodate ample parking. Access to Warminster Road is via a private shared drive.

The rear garden has been terraced and landscaped with pleached trees, large stone terraces taking in the views, a decorative ornamental water feature and steps down to a lower lawn.
