A two bedroom, two bathroom garden maisonette in Grade II listed Georgian townhouse in the heart of the city of Bath. Built in 1764-1770, the apartment is one of four in a townhouse which itself is an end terrace in a row of sixteen Georgian townhouses. This light and airy apartment has two double bedrooms, two bathrooms (one is en suite), a kitchen/dining room, large lounge, study/storage area, vaults storage and private walled garden.
A communal hallway opens onto the kitchen/diner which is flooded with light from the original sash windows. The kitchen has white wall and base units and wooden worktops and a breakfast bar and seating area. There is an integrated oven and microwave, integrated dishwasher, fridge/freezer, washing machine and four ring gas hob, and contemporary tiles. The boiler is housed in a cupboard. The kitchen looks out onto the sunny garden, well stocked with flowering shrubs, including hibiscus, roses and a palm tree. The vendor says “The wooden floors have been professionally stripped and revarnished throughout the ground floor. The sitting room has the same high ceilings as the kitchen and beautiful cornicing, which have been painted in Farrow & Ball colours. Both sash windows have original working shutters. There are two alcoves on either side of the large fireplace which has a Bath stone mantelpiece and electric flame effect log burner fitted in line with Bath emissions regulations.”
Downstairs, a storage area/study is next to a small hallway which leads off out to the garden. There is further storage under the stairs and also near the front door: “There is plenty of storage here.”

Downstairs is the principal bedroom, at the back of the house, which has a door out to a small courtyard. The courtyard can also be accessed by the study area. The en suite to the principal bedroom has a large walk-in shower and floor to ceiling neutral ceramic tiles. The second double bedroom has two sash windows with original wooden shutters and a built in wardrobe. There is a second shower room. At the front of the house there is a door out to a courtyard and vaulted area where the vendor has had flagstones laid and light installed. Stairs lead up to the street, so the apartment has a second entrance.

The garden is: “so sunny out here in the afternoon and evening, and wonderful to be able to step outside and relax out here in the centre of town, enjoying the flowers and the sun. The paving stones at the front of the garden have been re-laid as well.”

“The apartment has been really light and spacious, and the lovely, peaceful and private walled garden has been brilliant. New King Street has no through traffic, mainly pedestrians and cyclists, so it is such a bonus to live in the heart of the city, but it is so calm. There is residents’ parking (Zone 6), but you can walk down to Green Park to the Farmers’ Market and Artisans’ Market or pop in to the big Sainsbury’s or walk up through Queen’s Square to the shops on Milsom Street. The theatre and cinema are very close, and it is a flat 0.6 mile walk to Bath Spa Railway station, ideal for trips to London (79 minutes) or Bristol (12 minutes). You are spoilt for choice with all the cafes, restaurants and bars in Bath within easy walking distance. It has been a pleasure to live in this historic home with so much on the doorstep, and the garden with the palm tree.“
