A second floor two bedroom, two bathroom apartment located on the corner of prestigious Brock Street, Bath, and the architecturally important King's Circus. Designed by John Wood the Elder and completed by John Wood the Younger between 1754 and 1759, this iconic Grade I listed building has an elaborate façade with superimposed orders of Roman Doric, Ionic and Corinthian paired columns, and appropriate entablatures.

A grand entrance hall with original stone flooring has stairs leading to the apartment, which occupies the whole of the second floor. The vendor says: “I wanted to live in the heart of this vibrant city, and be able to walk to the many restaurants, the theatre and cafes as well as galleries and museums and when this apartment came up for sale in the world famous Circus I was delighted to buy it. The apartment was perfect for me as I travel so was able to lock up and leave without worrying. And I know it would also be good as an investment if ever I wanted to rent it out.”
“Despite being on the second floor the ceilings are both high and grand and the views are fabulous. There is a stunning outlook from the two Georgian sash windows in the drawing room, overlooking the front of the Circus and the Green with its 200 year old plane trees. From the exquisite master bedroom there are views across the back of Brock Street and the gardens. The second bedroom is an excellent size, being on the corner of the building, and it has views over Brock Street and the Circus. The bedroom has the advantage of its own shower and toilet, and curiously its own front door, giving two points of access to the flat – perfect for a guest returning home late! There is also a large reception hall, a beautiful kitchen with granite worktops and the main bathroom which serves the master bedroom.”
“I’ve really enjoyed living in such a central location – it’s a delight to be able to walk everywhere, and I have felt a lot fitter than when I lived in the country, always in the car!”
“Victoria Park and the Botanical Gardens is a pleasant stroll away through the Royal Crescent, and for everyday needs Waitrose is just down the hill. The delightful Circus Restaurant is two doors away and the menu is fabulous! Sauntering round to the antique shops, boutiques and stopping for a coffee in the Green Bird Café in the pedestrianised Margaret’s Buildings round the corner is always a pleasure.”
“There is residents’ parking and I have never had any trouble finding a spot near the apartment. I have to go to London frequently so can walk down to the station which is 0.8 miles away and then it is a journey of 70 minutes to London. Driving to M4 is 9.5 miles away.”
