Georgian fantasies come to life at this Bath property, part of the prestigious Miles Building – a row of nine terrace houses in the heart of the city that appear untouched by the passage of time.
The Miles Building was constructed in 1766, and the paved street looks much as it did then, with sandstone and pastel-coloured buildings lining the pretty pedestrian street.
Number 6 is remarkably preserved, with living spaces spanning four floors. Rooms have quintessential Georgian markers at every turn, from grand sash windows to working period fireplaces, high ceilings, mouldings, and sanded original floorboards. But they’ve all been redecorated to blend old and new, with a light and neutral scheme of Atelier Ellis natural paints percolating through the house (think soft white walls and taupe-coloured doors and frames) to create a modern, fresh interior scheme.

The basement level houses the new kitchen, which has a cement floor, copper pipes, and leather-finished marble countertops. Appliances, too, are modern, including a Rangemaster induction oven, and a back door accesses the property’s private walled garden that catches eastern light and is planted with shrubs and mature trees.
Back inside, a period wooden staircase connects all levels of the home, with reception rooms and a study on the ground floor and three bedrooms on the levels above. They feature a mix of working fireplaces, sash windows, and a private balcony off the primary suite.
Agent Sam Daniels of Knight Frank is listing 6 Miles Building with a guide price of £1.65m. Take a tour of the Georgian property in the gallery above.
