Providing elegant accommodation on a grand scale, this magnificent house has truly outstanding principal rooms of majestic proportions and a rare wealth of exquisite surviving period detail. Built in 180809, this was the last great Georgian terrace to be built in Bath and was intended to be, and arguably remains, its grandest. Originally known as New Sydney Place, this terrace of 11 palatial townhouses is universally regarded as John Pinch the Elder's masterpiece. The terrace was originally home to royalty and nobility, including Queen Charlotte and The Duke of Clarence (the future King William IV), drawn not only by the grandeur of its rooms of unparalleled height and proportions, but by their elegant, novel, modern design which was then the very height of fashion. The Historic Buildings and Monuments Commission for England, in its official Grade I listing of 101 Sydney Place as a building "of exceptional interest" (the highest designation), states that the terrace "is regarded as John Pinch's finest creation: it is the first appearance of his distinctive ramped horizontal detailing, and the inclusion of very tall windows and an architecturally treated attic floor is also noteworthy. The quality of the ashlar fronts was particularly admired, with the courses of masonry being raised sequentially in order to create as harmonious and even a tone as possible." The architectural historian Walter Ison remarked that New Sydney Place is "a specimen of the architectural perfection that may be formed of Bath stone. It was all brought from one quarry, and the houses raised gradually together, tier after tier, thereby forming one compact building in which not the least flaw or settlement, or different shades of colour can be seen." The first occupant of 101 Sydney Place is believed to have been the 3rd Earl of Darlington, later the 1st Duke of Cleveland. Freeholder of the entire terrace, he also owned Pulteney Bridge and virtually all of Georgian Bath east of the Avon, including Laura Place, Great Pulteney Street and Sydney Gardens. It was subsequently the residence of Viscount Duncan, 2nd Earl of Camperdown, distinguished surgeon John Smith Soden, a founding member of both the British Medical Association and the Royal College of Surgeons, then later, for many years was the home of a leading 19th Century Bath industrialist and entrepreneur before being purchased by an heiress. It last changed hands in 1998. There are so many truly beautiful and distinctive architectural features of the property to delight the eye at every turn. It is the ultimate find for the discerning purchaser looking for an authentic, well-preserved George III townhouse with a rich history and wealth of interior architectural delights. The current owners completed the restoration of the house just over 25 years ago with a light and carefully considered touch, keeping the preservation of the historic detail and heritage of the building uppermost while the house was thoughtfully equipped to meet the requirements of 21st Century family living. There is a good balance of accommodation and outside space; the generously proportioned interior is complemented by a mature, beautifully landscaped south-facing walled rear garden. There is versatility either to entertain formally on a grand scale, or to enjoy informal kitchen suppers in the well designed and equipped, handmade and hand painted, solid hardwood and granite kitchen/breakfast room, which overlooks the walled rear garden. The gorgeous five-flight, cantilevered, 'floating' stone staircase with its original, minimalist post-Robert Adam 'stick' balusters and sweeping, fine mahogany handrail with inlaid ebony stringing is visually stunning as it ascends from the bright central hall. The two principal ground-floor rooms are exquisite spaces. What is now the high-ceilinged formal dining room was originally the Breakfast Room and "Morning Room" where visitors would have been received two centuries ago. It overlooks the leafy walled garden, and is separated by wide double-doors from the adjoining reception room, serving the present owners as the family sitting room. With its high arched windows, this room of palatial proportions was originally intended for dinner parties seating thirty or more guests, as can be seen both from the original 1808 floor plan and from the beautiful grey and white marble fire surround with its telltale motif of grapes and vine leaves carved in high relief in the corners. The cornicing and ceiling roses of these two principal ground floor rooms include some of John Pinch's most distinctive and innovative interior architectural design, not seen elsewhere in the terrace. Based around Pinch's geometrically arranged Amerindian theme of arrowheads (also echoing a mediaeval motif) and feathers (alternated between more classical acanthus leaves) and combining classical and romantic elements, his unfussy design with its refreshingly clean, modern lines appeals to 21st Century tastes. Unsurprisingly, the 'star performers' of the house, however, are the two majestic rooms comprising the whole of the first floor or 'piano nobile'. The visual impact of the space in the grand drawing room has to be seen to be appreciated. Three full-height Georgian sash windows extend down to the floor, each with its own semicircular wrought-iron balcony, overlooking the Palladian-style Holburne Museum of Art and the Grade II Listed Georgian pleasure gardens. Behind the drawing room is a remarkable, beautifully detailed, panelled, galleried library, with a higher ceiling still. This pair of rooms highlights this as a property of unparalleled beauty and character. The two large, high-ceilinged principal bedrooms are on the second floor. The front bedroom suite with its pair of wide, high bedroom windows offers dramatic views of the Holburne Museum and across Sydney Gardens, and has an en-suite naturally-lit dressing room and bathroom, while the capacious guest bedroom with its elegant fireplace and large en-suite bathroom enjoys dramatic views over the garden and St Mary's church immediately beyond. The four, third-floor bedrooms, with full-height ceilings, delightful original fireplaces and two bathrooms, are currently arranged so that two of the rooms are adjoined to create a "nanny suite" with en-suite bathroom, though the current occupants used the large adjoining bedroom as a playroom (later a computer/study room). On the ground floor there is also a well-designed utility/laundry room adjacent to the kitchen, and an elegant, skylit cloakroom built in 1808 as one of the very first indoor privies in England. Upstairs, on the mezzanine between the two floors of bedrooms, there is a small study with a fine view of Pinch's neo-Gothic church tower. This is a home which will appeal both to the architectural purist and enthusiast, and to a buyer who seeks practicality in a family home, with the flexibility to accommodate and entertain extended family and friends, clients and colleagues. It will appeal to those seeking both a well-equipped, centrally located and comfortable family home, which thanks to the thick, ashlar stone construction and well-planned central heating, is cool in summer and warm in winter, as well as a property with exceptional architectural merit and historic significance benefitting from splendid, green, historic views from every window and with rich interior Georgian detail.OutsideThe walled private garden to the rear is large for a townhouse garden, measuring some 90 feet in length. The meticulously landscaped garden provides an area of lawn, beautifully planted herbaceous borders, a wealth of wisteria blossoming in spring, a mature, fruiting fig tree, yew trees and a rear 'secret garden', with the location of the garden shed cleverly out of sight. There is a large stone-paved terrace leading directly from the kitchen that is ideal for outdoor dining or cocktails before dinner. The dominant garden views of the bucolic, neo-gothic St Mary's Church (also designed by John Pinch the Elder) rising dramatically immediately to the rear of the garden, and the home's central views of he Holburne Museum of Art to the front of the house, provide what are among the most beautiful city prospects to be enjoyed by any single townhouse in Bath.SituationThis home is ideally situated. It is across the street from Sydney Gardens, overlooking The Holburne Museum with its large, airy, indoor and outdoor cafe, popular year round. If you cross over the road or turn right out of the house, there is the strong sense of being in the countryside. A five minute walk from 101 takes you to idyllic strolls along the towpath of the Kennet and Avon Canal, the extensive National Trust countryside and gradually ascending hilltop views over the whole city of Bath, continuing from there to charming woodland walks and the Bath Skyline Walk circumambulating the whole of this beautiful, ancient, UNESCO-designated World Heritage City. On the other hand, if you turn left out of the house, you have the most beautiful, level, ten-minute city stroll into the centre of Bath, down the full length of Great Pulteney Street and over Robert Adam's world-renowned, 18th Century shop-lined Pulteney Bridge with its cafes and boutiques, leading right into the heart of town. All of Bath's excellent shopping, cultural and leisure facilities, including three cinemas, a Royal Theatre, and a selection of fine delicatessens, restaurants and artisanal coffee shops, upscale boutiques, fine dining, cafes, clubs, pubs and cocktail bars are on your doorstep, as are spas and gyms, yoga and pilates, Waitrose and M&S Food Hall.

Nearby Henrietta Park is a historic seven-acre park and miniature arboretum with a fascinating variety of rare and ancient trees, yet another peaceful and enchanting place to stretch your legs less than five minutes' walk from the front door.Additional InformationServices Mains water and electricity, gas fired central heating and mains drainage.

Ian Nairn and Nikolaus Pevsner writing in the Sussex edition of The Buildings of England tell us that Barnham Court is the best of its date in the county. Built in the first half of the 17th Century it was likely commissioned by a rich merchant rather than landed gentry, although Pevsner declares that Barnham Court is so similar to Kew Palace in Surrey..... that the same designer must surely have been responsible. The symmetry of its 5 bay facade is more effective than many palaces.The interior has many unique architectural features extending to some 6,400 sq ft and has been the subject of a roof-to-cellar award winning program of restoration, creating a home of authentic, historical character complemented with 21st Century modern comforts. The main entrance, set into its doric pedimented doorcase, opens directly onto The Hall Room, spanning the entire width of the primary building yet still intimate with its panelled walls and open fireplaces at each end. Four tall box sash windows flood this room with natural light and allow the visitor a full appreciation of the formal gardens and approach. Beyond lies the library and oak panelled dining room. The latter has a purbeck flagstone floor and beautifully moulded plaster ceiling depicting garlands and central sunburst. These rooms are complemented by the breath-taking Great Room and two adjacent orangeries. These are ideal for entertaining on a grand scale, the abundance of light and perfect proportions of the internal rooms seamlessly integrate the interior with the surrounding formal and informal gardens. There is also extensive storage and wine cellars with comfortable ceiling height and a degree of natural light.Away from these impressive rooms the former cook house now provides an intimate sitting room with stone flagged floor, open fireplace with bread oven to one side and south facing sitting area with glazed roof. The former diary is now the kitchen with a series of tall brick arches supporting a vaulted double pitched roof. Original marble worktops and brick pier supported open shelving have been skillfully used within a contemporary design. A full height pedimented cabinet fitted along one wall conceals a larder with marble pastry shelf, spice racks and shelving, and stainless steel fronted double fridge with freezer drawers beneath. Five bedroom suites are arranged over the first and second floors. The two principal suites are situated on the first floor, each with their own hallway, leading to sizeable bedrooms with marble fireplaces and twin box sash windows enjoying views over the formal gardens. Simple, elegant bathrooms are dressed with Carrera marble, traditional brassware, roll-top baths and generous showers. The two bedroom suites on the second floor have their own distinct character having vaulted ceilings and original exposed oak frame with landscape windows set into the gables. Both have exceptionally well-appointed bathrooms.Gardens and GroundsThe entrance is screened by thick hornbean hedges and the sweeping driveway approaches the house from the north, with a cobbled yard to the west of the house and double gates opening onto a concealed parking area and courtyard. Anglo-Dutch parterre gardens have golden sand pathways leading through symmetrical lawns and avenues of buxus topiary designs against a backdrop of handsome evergreen oaks and other ornamental trees. To the south, broad stone terraces surrounding The Great Room and orangeries look over walled gardens with pleached bay trees and formally arranged buxus edged borders with olive trees. To the east lies a heated swimming pool with ornamental fountain and nearby a south facing terrace is surrounded by rose beds edged with lavender and spring bulbs. In contrast to the immediate parterre gardens, an informal lightly wooded area of garden has a large pond and island leading to a rife and areas of willow and woodland beyond. Ancillary BuildingsA range of ancillary buildings include a brick and flint guest cottage with a beautifully designed interior having an exposed ornamental oak frame with mirrored panels including studio room, kitchen area and bathroom looking out towards the pool through a glass aperture. External glass pocket doors open onto a south facing sheltered terrace.Recently built courtyard buildings include garaging with a mezzanine first floor and adjacent terrace leading to a gardener's workshop. These buildings offer further potential for separate self-contained accommodation if desired subject to the necessary consentsNB: A 17th century Sussex barn frame of some 2,500 sq ft is available by separate negotiation. It was dismantled from a local Sussex site and is stored. There is an opportunity to re-erect this within the grounds subject to the necessary planning and Listed building consents. LocationThe stature of Barnham Court as a building of national importance and its location at the centre of the Barnham conservation area, together with its proximity to the Grade I listed Norman parish church, protects its privacy and tranquility. St Marys church forms part of the curtilage and dates to 1020, mentioned in the Doomsday Book of 1086. It is intimately associated with the extensive history of the Barnham Court site and association to a monastic order based in Siena in Italy. Despite the immediate rural surroundings there are numerous facilities close to hand including a direct rail service from Barnham to Gatwick and also to London in 90 minutes. There are a number of local shops including baker, butcher, supermarket and post office.From the beaches of the South Coast to the South Downs National Park to the north, there are a wide variety of attractions to suit every interest. Arundel is the historic seat of the Dukes of Norfolk and it's skyline is dominated by the castle and its continental style cathedral. The town has numerious cafes and local shops including delicatessen and butchers. The cathedral city of Chichester has a pedestrianised centre around its historic market cross and 12th Century cathedral. It is home to the internationally known Chichester Festival and Minerva Theatres, whilst Pallant House Gallery houses one of the most important modern art collections in the south of England as well as hosting regular exhibitions.Chichester Harbour provides some of the best sailing facilities within easy reach of London and there are numerous sailing clubs at Birdham, Bosham, Itchenor and at various places along the south coast. The unspoilt countryside of the South Downs National Park is criss-crossed with many miles of footpaths and bridlepaths passing through pretty villages, many with friendly local pubs The nearby Goodwood Estate, already famous for its annual Glorious Goodwood Qatar Festival, also hosts the annual Festival of Speed and the Revival meeting at its historic motor circuit. There is also an airfield for private aircraft. Goodwood has its own hotel, country club and members' club whilst Bailiffscourt, close to the beaches at Climping, is an award winning spa and hotel set in 30 acres of private parkland leading to Climping beach.

With its discreet his and hers fitted wardrobes, there is plenty of storage.Turning right out of the master bedroom, arrive at bedroom three, another comfortable room, tastefully decorated and with its own ensuite shower room. Views are framed by a deep-silled window out to the trees and garden. Returning to the master bedroom, discover a second door leading to the second staircase landing.

The house is in a secluded location which cannot be viewed from the road and is situated within a series of walled gardens and lawns in excess of 10 acres.. The 18th century ornamental gardens or 'Pleasure Grounds' are located to the north of the site, and a terrace extends along the western side of the house facing the west lawn. This lawn is shaded by a number of mature trees, most notably a large Cedar of Lebanon which occupies a central position. A gate reputedly from Dick Whittington's London home leads into a wilderness garden which runs alongside the 18th century ornamental lily pond containing koi carp. Internally, the house benefits from an exceptionally large, panelled hallway and entertaining area, with a historic oak staircase and galleried landing leading to the principal bedrooms. The hallway opens directly into the principal reception rooms which are mostly decorated with moulded ceilings, Jacobean style oak panelling and carved oak fireplaces. The first floor bedrooms are mostly decorated in a neo-classical style. A separate two storey chauffer's home on the east of the house is built of red brick with red tile details and was designed in an Arts and Crafts style.

There is further opportunity to increase the current annual income substantially, with additional holiday cottage rental and extensive serviced office space available if required. The main residence itself was previously a nursing home and later serviced offices prior to our client's occupation. Westwood Park could, subject to change of use, become a commercial enterprise once again.

Hill Top House originates from the 1860s, visible on old maps as 'Rectory Farm', being part of the 'living' of the Reverend Samuel Wilson Warnefore LLD, complete with 'Sheepwashing Pool'. The pool, and views to his church at Bourton-on-the-Hill, remain today. The house has since been extended with elements of Art Deco style added in the 1930s, and a later conversion of some farm outbuildings to stables, gave rise to the name 'Three Ashes Stud'. The same ash trees survive today, approached via a tree-lined drive, set off with imposing stone pillars labelled 'Hill Top House' - a name entirely in keeping with the spectacular Cotswold views.Hill Top House commands an elevated position half a mile south of the Cotswold village of Bourton-on-the-Hill. The house stands at the centre of 35 acres Cotswold (sheep) fields. Panoramic views roll from the principal facade of the main house, extending eastwards over Gloucestershire and Oxfordshire as far as Brailes Hill. The quality of construction of the main house matches the quality of views. The south wing dates back further, with accommodation on two floors and connections to the main house on both the ground and first floors enables it to serve as additional principal accommodation or separate staff/granny flat. The house is enclosed by gardens while the two stable yards and adjoining paddocks are a convenient distance from the house. Excellent staff accommodation is available in The Bungalow or The Guest House. On entering the house, one is drawn to the magnificent reception hall which accesses natural light and views from all four compass points.The warmth of the hearth transitions smoothly to a sunny, south-west facing formal dining room supporting large scale entertaining, and a splendid drawing room also focussed on sunlight, connecting effortlessly to the surrounding nature. One may later ascend a substantial fine oak staircase rising to a wide landing with doors to the well-proportioned bedrooms. The principal bedroom boasts magnificent far reaching easterly views. As well as a 'principal guest bedroom' suite on the first floor, there is a door to library/bedroom three. The functional rooms are approached along a passageway and and a well-appointed utility/boot room. A lobby and doors lead to the outside. Next to the utility/ boot room is a study/home office. This wing could be reconfigured to create a spacious family kitchen with doors to the garden. The staircase rises to the second floor where there are four further bedrooms. Three of the bedrooms on this floor have an en suite bathroom or shower room. Stairs from the rear hall lead to a flat on the first floor comprising a sitting room, kitchen, two bedrooms, bathroom, WC and box room.GARDENS AND GROUNDS Mature gardens lie principally to the south and east of the house. French doors from the drawing room lead open to a large stone terrace from which one descends to formal lawns surrounded by well-stocked borders. The eastern end of the gardens is punctuated by fine mature trees forming a steep wooded glade around the 'Sheep washing' pond. The kitchen garden with large greenhouse lies to the west. Now largely laid to wild flowers, it will still supply a crop of asparagus.THE GUEST HOUSE The Guest House stands at a convenient distance to the north of the house. Formally traditional Cotswold stables, the building was converted into an extremely comfortable three bedroom cottage comprising a sitting room and a dining room. Double doors in the sitting room lead out to a small lawned south-facing courtyard garden. On the first floor are three bedrooms and a bathroom.
