A Grade II* Georgian one bedroom garden apartment in one of the Georgian urban set pieces in Bath, Raby Place, an elegant terrace designed and built by John Pinch the Elder in 1825. Located adjacent to Great Pulteney Street, Sydney Pleasure Gardens and the Kennet & Avon Canal this delightful home is just a short flat walk from Bath’s historical city centre and all it has to offer. The generous garden apartment is completely self contained and additionally includes a share of its Freehold and of Raby Lawn, one of the largest private gardens in Bath. With its own entrance and no shared areas the one bed property is extremely spacious, boasting high ceilings and large windows, allowing light to flood in. The sitting room is bright and airy opening onto a generous kitchen/diner with French doors onto a private walled garden. The large bedroom houses extensive built in storage; there is also a beautiful bathroom, separate utility/laundry area as well as two extremely useful large vaults.

The owners say: “We set out to find a big, bright apartment with outside space. We had no idea we would be so lucky to chance upon one as large as this with a pretty walled courtyard, as well as part ownership of substantial private gardens that we’ve come to regard as invaluable – a real bonus. We enjoy plenty of light throughout the day which combined with the space makes for a great place in which to live, entertain friends and family as well as work: a perfect combination. We adore being outside - as does our cat – and we love having a low maintenance, well sized courtyard garden in which to eat, relax, enjoy the seasons and views across to the local church.”

“When it came to renovating the property, we blended traditional and contemporary style - respecting existing heritage and character - whilst linking the spaces to create a flow perfect for contemporary living. Key features include USB points in sockets, high efficiency gas central heating system, engineered oak flooring throughout, restored windows and doors, low energy lighting and ample built-in storage.”

“The apartment has a beautiful tongue & groove panelled entrance lobby. The spacious sitting room benefits from ceiling height panelled sash window with new bespoke shutters, and a marble fireplace with cast-iron inset. The generous contemporary kitchen/diner is fully equipped with integrated dishwasher, induction hob, oven, and extractor fan and vintage Smeg fridge-freezer (included). The bathroom has heritage tiles and a powerful over-bath shower. There is an internal lobby with useful built-in utility/laundry area. The bedroom, which is spacious enough for a Super king size bed, benefits from built in wardrobes/drawers, and is extremely light because of the triple aspect sash windows overlooking the south facing garden. The Courtyard garden is framed by walls faced with slatted trellis, and has split-level zones designed for multi-uses, as well as a storage area under original Bath-stone steps. In addition, there are two large joined vaults comprising four storage areas.”


“The location is ideal; everything is so close by. There is a 7 day a week mini-market, Dexter’s, a charming new coffee shop - a perfect stop before sauntering along the canal path, an Interiors store plus the popular Myrtlemee florist. Around the corner is the renowned Holburne Museum located in Sydney Pleasure Gardens. The Circus and The Royal Crescent leading into Victoria Park, the Excel tennis courts and the beautiful Botanical Gardens are all easily accessible as are all of the other delights of the city including theatres, galleries, bars, restaurants and shops. Bath Spa station is 0.8 miles away with very frequent fast links to London and Bristol.”

“We really do feel the apartment offers a seamless inside/outside lifestyle that is incredibly comfortable, tranquil and flexible. We have really enjoyed living in this stunning building in such a charming place in the heart of Georgian Bath with literally everything on our doorstep.”
