Set in a Grade I listed townhouse, the ground floor apartment is beautifully presented with high ceilings, magnificent sash windows and many period features.  

The entrance is under an archway which dates back to the time when notable Bath resident William Beckford owned the property.

Entering the apartment via the main front door, you are immediately struck by the grandeur of No. 20 with its sweeping staircase. Through to the apartment itself, there is a generous hallway with a bank of built-in cupboards. 

To your right you find the stunning kitchen/dining room comprising recently fitted hand painted units and marble worktops. There is a butler’s sink with beautiful silver Perrin and Rowe taps, instant hot water Zip tap, electric black AGA, slimline Siemens dishwasher and integral Liebherr fridge freezer.  Of particular note are the large sash windows filling the room with light. 

The next room is the impressive drawing room with large bay window and, again, wonderful high ceilings. The room is impressive and full of charm with period cornicing, shutters and a marble fireplace.
