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.

Laid out over two floors of a six-storey Grade I listed building, this stunning garden apartment boasts a contemporary interior sympathetic to the period of the property. Positioned a short level stroll from all key amenities, including Bath Spa train station, Bath Rugby ground, shops, cafés, restaurants, bars and the Theatre Royal, both apartment and garden enjoy a wonderful sense of calm.

‘We were not only attracted to the excellent location but the architecture and size of the apartment; we initially wanted a house, however this property is like a full-size three-bedroom house within a grand house.

One of the great benefits of living here is that we don’t incur the maintenance costs that a whole house attracts,’ explain the owners, who have lived here for 20-years. With the city centre in one direction and beautiful parks and the Kennet and Avon Canal offering level walks through scenic countryside to the other, living here provides the best of both worlds.

‘The south-facing garden has been professionally designed by David Stevens, with Adam Frost landscaping it, in a Mediterranean style. It is an absolute haven and is such a suntrap in the summer – it’s hard to believe it is in the city centre when all one can hear are birds.’

‘In our time here, we have created a large kitchen/diner, a utility space, and an office, carried out a total modernisation of the bathrooms and tanked the vaults to provide good storage. We have also taken great pride in the interior design.’
‘We love to throw parties and the kitchen is a superb social space which also works well for sit down dinners’

‘We love how everything is on the doorstep, or very close by. One can enjoy urban life just as easily as the countryside with the city Skyline and wonderful cycle and running routes easy to access.’

‘Our neighbours are lovely; we look after each other’s gardens, and all lend a hand when needed. We will miss them a lot when we move.’
