Raby Villa is a beautifully presented four bedroom Regency home, seamlessly combining refined architectural detail with a sophisticated contemporary finish. The accommodation is arranged across three principal floors and is complemented by exceptional ceiling heights, elegant proportions and thoughtfully curated interiors.

A fine central portico sets the tone for the property, opening into a welcoming entrance hall centred around a magnificent cantilevered stone staircase. The elegant sitting room occupies the front of the house, featuring a handsome marble fireplace and tall sash windows with working shutters. Ornate cornicing further enhances the sense of quiet grandeur typical of Bath’s Regency period.

To the rear lies the beautifully designed kitchen/breakfast room, fitted with bespoke cabinetry, polished stone work surfaces and high quality integrated appliances—an ideal space for everyday living and informal entertaining. Adjacent, the dining room is of excellent size and includes a charming original safe, a characterful reminder of the property’s history.
The striking stone staircase rises through the centre of the house to the first floor, where a magnificent drawing room spans the width of the property. Full height double doors open onto a stone balcony, while intricate plasterwork and a central fireplace give the room an exceptional sense of scale and refinement.

The principal bedroom suite is a beautifully proportioned room with generous built in storage arranged across several walls, including an additional wardrobe and a run of drawers beneath a small recessed south facing window with stained glass. The suite is served by a well appointed bathroom located immediately adjacent and also benefits from the convenience of a private secondary staircase providing direct access to the ground floor dining room.

The upper floors provide three further bedrooms and a well presented family bathroom, offering flexibility for guest accommodation, home working or family living. A useful cellar offers additional storage, including dedicated wine storage.

Gardens
Outside, the property enjoys both a beautifully landscaped front garden and a charming rear courtyard, each offering its own appeal. The front garden is a notable feature, facing west and planted with wisteria, abundant roses, perennials and established shrubs.

To the rear, the thoughtfully designed courtyard garden provides a private setting ideal for al fresco dining and outdoor relaxation. The house further benefits from private parking, a considerable advantage so close to the centre of Bath. Sydney Wharf and the Kennet and Avon Canal are moments away, providing picturesque walking and cycling routes, while the city’s renowned shops, restaurants, galleries and cultural attractions are all within easy reach.
