Sion Hill Place in the Lansdown area of Bath, Somerset, England was designed by John Pinch the elder[1] and built between 1818 and 1820.

Summerhill and numbers 1 to 9 have been designated as a Grade I listed building.[2]

The Georgian terrace of numbers 1 to 9 is made up of 4 storey houses which is symmetrical from which the centre house, number 5, stands forward and has a pediment. The ground floor of all houses is rusticated. The houses at either end have curved segmental bows for their entire height.[2] Numbers 1 to 4were built by William Cowell Hayes a local painter, while Daniel Aust, from Walcot, built number 5 and possibly the others.[3]

Summerhill House, which is attached to the west end of the terrace, came from Chippenham and was demolished and transported stone by stone.[2]
