Property Summary
A Grade I listed, four bedroom maisonette occupying the top two floors of a Georgian townhouse on Bath’s historic Great Pulteney Street.
Great Pulteney Street, commissioned by Sir William Pulteney, designed by Georgian architect Thomas Baldwin and completed in 1789, sits in the heart of Bath between the Holburne Museum and Laura Place. Its close positioning to Pulteney Bridge – the beauty, design and function of which is rivalled only by Florence’s Ponte Vecchio – makes this one of the most desirable residential addresses in the UK. Occupying the top two floors of a Georgian town house, this delightful four-bedroom maisonette is located a short stroll from all key amenities, including Bath Spa train station, Bath Rugby ground and a vibrant city centre with excellent shops, cafés, restaurants, bars and the famous Theatre Royal. Decorated in a rustic French farmhouse style, the property boasts many original features including striking fireplaces, substantial doors and decorative cornicing. It enjoys stunning views across the treetops of Henrietta Park to the rear and over Pulteney Street, the city’s widest residential street, to the front. ‘Our family has lived here for 23-years; we were attracted to the city’s history and unwavering beauty and the close proximity to such good amenities, including a wealth of sought-after schools, both state and independent. With elevated views, beautiful parks and public gardens on the doorstep, easy access to the Kennet and Avon Canal offering level walks through scenic countryside, this is city living with a great sense of freedom.’
‘The property is like a house within a house; the scale and quantity of rooms don’t feel like a flat at all. The light is wonderful in both the morning and evening and the large kitchen/diner, which goes through to the lounge via double doors, is fantastic for socialising – here we’ve hosted family Christmases for 25 plus people.’
‘There is an office, or possible fifth bedroom, next to the lounge and as you go upstairs there are three double bedrooms and a single with a large family bathroom and a substantial walk-in cupboard. Upstairs feels lovely and cosy, whereas downstairs the height of the ceilings gives the kitchen and living areas a grand and airy feel – we especially love the living room with its two huge sash windows.’
‘We’ve been lucky enough to have lovely neighbours; it's a very friendly building, especially over lockdown. We’ve loved the flat for its versatility, spaciousness and wonderfully social atmosphere. We will miss the sheer beauty of the place and the convenience of its location.’
