Bath’s Rare Georgian-Style Townhouses Sell Quickly as Buyers Flock In

A striking collection of newly built Georgian-style townhouses in Bath is capturing the attention of buyers, expertly blending classical elegance with contemporary living. These rare homes are selling fast, with only eight four-bedroom townhouses still available at the prestigious Bath Press development.

Heritage developer City & Country is transforming the historic site of the former Pitman Press Printing Works, using traditional Georgian limestone and architectural elements, including stepped roofs inspired by the original building. Set across three floors, each townhouse boasts an open-plan kitchen and living area on the ground floor, a separate lounge with a private balcony on the first floor, and four generous bedrooms—two with ensuite bathrooms.

Inside, the interiors marry industrial details like gunmetal brassware with period features, creating a unique blend of old and new. Environmentally conscious buyers will also appreciate that the properties are equipped with air source heat pumps, offering a sustainable heating alternative to gas.

Shelley West, Group Sales and Marketing Director at City & Country, highlighted the rarity of such new-build homes in Bath, where much of the available housing consists of beautiful but maintenance-heavy historic properties. She emphasized the appeal for both downsizers and growing families, thanks to the townhouses’ flexible layouts and modern conveniences.

Situated just a 20-minute walk from Bath city centre, the Bath Press community offers easy access to riverside walks, shops, and a nearby retail park with an M&S. Commuters benefit from nearby railway stations providing direct routes to London Paddington, Reading, and Bristol, as well as proximity to Bristol Airport.

With a scheduled completion in winter 2025, this development is a testament to how Bath’s rich heritage and contemporary lifestyle can harmoniously coexist, making it an exceptional place to call home.
