A particular highlight is the private walled rear garden, complemented by an attractive front courtyard, creating a rare opportunity to enjoy both indoor and outdoor space in one of Bath’s most prestigious settings. The apartment benefits from a choice of two entrances, accessed either via wrought iron steps from the front courtyard or through the grand ground floor communal reception hall. Inside a private entrance hall leads to the principal living spaces, with smart parquet flooring providing a sense of continuity and elegance. The stylish sitting room is light and airy, featuring a period fireplace with bespoke cabinetry to either side and French doors opening directly onto the private garden. This wonderful connection between the living space and garden makes the room particularly well suited to both relaxed living and entertaining. The well-appointed kitchen is fitted with Shaker style cabinetry, polished stonework surfaces and a range of integrated appliances. With an attractive outlook over the garden, it is a practical yet elegant space. The principal bedroom features handmade fitted wardrobes and a stylish en-suite bathroom. Two further double bedrooms, both with fitted wardrobes, provide excellent flexibility. While currently arranged as bedrooms, one could equally be used as an additional reception space, depending on individual requirements. A modern shower room and a useful utility cupboard complete the accommodation. The apartment retains a wealth of period character, including high ceilings, feature fireplaces and elegant proportions, while the wood and parquet flooring throughout adds warmth and cohesion. A rare combination of period grandeur, stylish contemporary living and private outside space, this exceptional apartment offers a sophisticated city home in one of Bath’s most celebrated locations.<br /><br /><b>Outside</b><br /><br />The walled front courtyard provides a charming outdoor space, perfectly suited to a dining table and parasol and an ideal spot for morning coffee. There is ample room for large specimen plants in elegant pots, complemented by established climbers that soften the surrounding Bath stone walls. A private vault provides useful additional storage, with two further communal vaults also available. To the rear, the beautifully proportioned walled garden measures approximately 32ft x 34ft, creating an appealing square of private outdoor space. Enclosed by mellow, honey-coloured Bath stone walls, the garden has a timeless and tranquil character. A combination of gravel and flagstones create an informal yet elegant layout, with well-planted borders introducing a calming green-and-white planting scheme. The restrained palette gives the garden a sense of freshness and understated sophistication, while providing an attractive backdrop to the apartment and a wonderful space for entertaining or simply relaxing. A particularly special feature is the private staircase and gate providing direct access into the gardens of The Royal Crescent Hotel & Spa. This unique connection adds an extraordinary dimension to the garden and gives a wonderful sense of being immersed in one of Bath’s most celebrated historic settings.<br /><br /><b>Situation</b><br /><br />Bath has a wonderful mixture of architecture from over the centuries, with Georgian properties being the most prominent, with sweeping crescents, most famously the iconic Royal Crescent, are central to Bath’s enduring appeal and make it one of Britain’s most distinctive and desirable cities. The allure of Bath’s Georgian homes continues to attract both domestic and international buyers, drawn by the opportunity to enjoy the cultural richness and amenities of a capital while retaining the charm, character and intimacy of a smaller city. An excellent range of shopping, restaurants, museums and theatres plus literature, music and comedy festivals are within walking distance. Just opposite are the private lawns of the Royal Crescent for the use of the residents only, and below the ha-ha are the grounds of the Royal Victoria Park.<p> <strong> Property Ref Number: </strong> </p>HAM-67945<br /><br /><b>Additional Information</b><br /><br />Local Authority: Bath & North East Somerset Council.
