Sydney Place, Bath, Somerset, BA2

A stunning two bedroom lateral period apartment in this historic building.

Description

The second-floor apartment is a simply exquisite and sympathetically refurbished two double bedroom apartment. Great care has been taken to retain and enhance the original period features while providing a luxurious total development of the excellent space. The proportions and light are fantastic and the space is incredibly flexible. There are beautifully restored original timber floors throughout, sash windows with shutters.

Queen Charlotte, consort to George III, lived in 93 Sydney Place in 1817 when in Bath to "take the waters" and is believed to have used the second floor as a bedroom suite during her stay. Designed and built by prominent architect John Pinch The Elder, Sydney Place is Grade I Listed and was considered the "centre of fashionable life" in Bath.

The apartment is accessed by a beautiful and ornate sweeping staircase in the communal hallway. Imposing double doors lead into the apartment's entrance hall, formerly a receiving room, with tall ceilings and ornate cornices. This room could have many uses, a reception space or a wonderful library as our clients envisaged it. To the front of the property is a magnificent drawing room or potential bedroom with double sash windows and a beautiful fireplace. There is a double dual-aspect bedroom also to the front of the property. There are wonderful views from the front over Sydney Gardens.

At the rear is a superb kitchen/dining room. The kitchen is from Tom Howley and has a range of high-end fitted appliances and an excellent central island unit with plenty of space for a dining table. The views over the south side of Bath are very special indeed. Bedroom one is adjacent and features a well-designed ensuite shower room. The main bathroom for the apartment is pure luxury and features a large walk-in shower, bath, WC and sink with vanity unit.

Accessed from the communal hallway and on the half landing before the apartment is a further space which could be a utility room, storage or a study.
