A Grade II listed High Victorian Gothic vicarage, designed by James Piers St Aubyn and recognised by Historic England as listed heritage. Rich in period detail, set in the heart of town near Bath Grounds, offering timeless elegance, modern comforts, and private south-facing gardens.
A house with a story to tell. Built around 1860, this remarkable Grade II listed vicarage is a celebration of High Victorian Gothic architecture – all dramatic rooflines, intricate polychrome brickwork and elegantly pointed arches. Designed by the noted Victorian architect James Piers St Aubyn, it carries the confident flourish of a bygone era. In more recent years, the grand vicarage has been thoughtfully reimagined, carefully divided into two distinctive homes around 2013, preserving its architectural soul while allowing it to adapt to modern living. And the setting is just as compelling. Positioned at the very heart of the town beside Our Lady of Lourdes Church, the Royal Hotel and the handsome Georgian row, Rawdon Terrace and sits only moments from the leafy calm of the Bath Grounds and the vibrant rhythm of town living.
As you approach the Old Vicarage, it lies partially hidden behind mature hedges and gardens. Then, as you turn the corner, it unfolds before you in all its glory. A grand, almost castle-like heavy arched doorway swings open to reveal the entrance lobby, leading seamlessly into the central dining room.
In the dining room you find soaring corniced ceilings and a beautiful Minton-tiled floor run underfoot, while a striking Gothic-arched fireplace forms a stunning focal point. Features that runs throughout home. A dramatic staircase rises gracefully from the room, with a half-landing that features a tall, south-facing picture window, flooding the space with natural sunlight and highlighting the home’s timeless elegance.
The kitchen continues the sense of warmth and style, with mellow stripped floorboards underfoot and another feature Gothic-arched fireplace with a slate tile hearth. High ceilings, decorative cornice, and a picture window overlooking the breakfast patio creates a bright and inviting atmosphere. The refitted kitchen is fitted with shaker-style base and wall cabinets, complemented by elegant countertops, and incorporates a stainless steel bowl sink with a pillar mixer tap. Integrated appliances include a fridge, freezer, dishwasher, hob, and oven, while a central island with a breakfast bar provides seating for three-making it a perfect spot for casual dining and social gatherings.
The drawing room continues this sense of grandeur and comfort. Generously proportioned, it features a recessed multi-fuel log burner set on a raised hearth, mellow original floorboards, and a striking picture window with original wooden shutters framing views over the gardens. The southerly aspect ensures this space is always bathed in sunlight, making it bright, inviting, and perfect for both relaxing and entertaining.
Lastly on the ground floor leading off the inner lobby is a very useful guests cloakroom.
Upstairs
Ascend the graceful staircase to a generously proportioned landing, thoughtfully arranged as a versatile study area by the current owners. From here, three beautifully appointed bedrooms unfold: two magnificent king-size rooms, each enhanced by a striking feature fireplace, and a charming third bedroom. While perfectly capable of accommodating a single bed, the third room is ideally suited as a nursery, elegant home office, or a quiet retreat.
The family bathroom is a sleek, contemporary sanctuary, featuring a luxurious bath with an overhead rainfall shower, a floating high-gloss vanity unit with a mixer tap and deep storage drawer, and a WC. Complementing this is a second, separately refitted WC with a washbasin, providing added convenience and practicality to this stylish upper floor.
Outside
The property is set behind a gated driveway, shared only with the neighbours in the other half of the building, Hastings House. A tarmac driveway provides ample parking at the front, with a convenient turning area. The mature, beautifully landscaped gardens face south and feature well-stocked mature planting offering great privacy, there is a flagstone seating terrace, and a tranquil pond. The courtyard to the right hand side of the building offers a private, discreet additional outdoor space, with a pedestrian gate providing direct access to the town.
The Old Vicarage is a home where timeless elegance, architectural detail, and a sense of sanctuary come together-offering an extraordinary lifestyle in a setting of enduring beauty.
