The house is a double fronted Georgian town house, with a communal hall leading to the front door of the apartment which is on the ground floor. Built in the mid eighteenth century, but with the rear of the property altered in 1970’s allowed the architect to carry out the work to make this a contemporary home in a Georgian building, so unusual in Bath.

The hall has an exposed Bath stone wall giving texture and imbuing the space with history. The stunning kitchen/dining/living area has Finepoint glazing across the whole width of the house with wall to wall and floor to ceiling glass and sliding doors out onto the sun terrace and garden. The vendor says: “It is so quiet here, in the Summer I often leave the doors open all day and enjoy the sunny garden.” There is polished concrete flooring and underfloor heating and a reclaimed timber fronted bespoke kitchen with Carrara worktops.

At the front of the building is a double guest suite with plantation shutters, sisal flooring, panelling and cornicing and a Bath stone fireplace. The bathroom has a separate shower and bath, porcelain floor, two separate basins, marble tiles and discreet cupboard housing the boiler. On the other side of the hall is the principal bedroom which also has panelling, plantation shutters, cornicing and a walk-in wardrobe. There is a double shower and wc.

Outside the garden has a paved area beyond the double doors and then a couple of stone steps up to a lawned area with apple tree, shrubs and flowers in borders and a small pond. The owner says: ”It is very unusual to have a garden on the same level as the kitchen for a Georgian apartment; it is really lovely to step straight out into the garden from the kitchen.”

At the back of the garden is a redwood timber clad garden office with heating and light. Adjacent to this is a single garage with remote electric controlled door which can be accessed from Coromandel Heights. The vendor also rents a parking space there for £100 a month which is transferrable.

Julian Road is 0.2 miles away with a handy Co-op and cash point. Margaret’s Buildings is 0.3 miles away with lovely coffee at Berdoulat or Green Bird Café and art galleries and interior designers. The Chequers pub is 0.2 miles away and Marlborough Tavern is 0.4 miles away, and it is a 0.5 mile downhill walk to the centre of town, and there are beautiful country walks at the top of Lansdown Hill.

The vendor says “This really is the best an apartment can offer in Bath, essentially urban metropolitan living in a Georgian town house. The garden with level access and the separate office and garage makes it ideal. I have loved living here with all that Bath has to offer on my doorstep.”
