Property Summary

Stunning two bedroom apartment in Bath's iconic Empire building located in the centre of this World heritage city, with panoramic dual aspect views. The apartment is ideally located next to Bath Abbey, the River Avon, Pulteney Bridge and Weir, with a short flat walk to Bath Spa railway station, and all the restaurants, bars, galleries and unique shops that Bath has to offer. The Empire was originally built as a luxury hotel in 1901 and incorporates a newly replaced roofline that represents the three estates of the realm, namely a mock cottage, a manor house and a castle. The conversion into exclusive apartments for the over 50s took place in the mid 1990s.
This fifth floor apartment (with lift access) benefits from a bright, sunny and spacious double aspect reception room with views over Bath Abbey, the Guildhall, Victoria Art Gallery and up to Lansdown. Next to it is a dining room/study or second bedroom. The master bedroom, again with panoramic views, has an en suite bathroom. There is a second shower room, separate kitchen, hall and storage. The apartment is tranquil, as it is away from ground level noise, and is a peaceful space with stunning views.

The Empire has an administrator on-site, two lifts, impressive lounge and dining rooms which are available for parties, three very reasonably priced guest suites, cinema room, laundrette, billiard room, craft room, exercise room, sauna, library and delightful roof garden. There are also many optional communal activities including regular Sunday lunches, drinks parties, scrabble sessions and film nights.
The apartment would be perfect either as a principal residence or as a second home because it is secure, with a concierge and is located close to Bath Spa railway station, with London Paddington 80 minutes away, and with easy access to Bristol airport.
