Marlborough Buildings, Bath, BA1

This is a particularly unique third floor apartment, in that the ceilings are much higher than normal, giving an especially light and airy feel. There are good sized sash windows to both front and rear, with working shutters. This adds an element of spaciousness and light to the property’s already very well-proportioned rooms.

The two large bedrooms are to the front, with wonderful views over the lawns of The Royal Crescent. The large drawing room is to the rear, with a period fireplace, together with the kitchen/breakfast room.

The property also has the benefit of two large communal storage cupboards on the second floor, which can be used for the storage of bikes and suitcases. In recent years the plumbing and electrics have both been updated.

A viewing is strongly recommended to appreciate the exceptional setting.

This third-floor apartment is located at the southerly end of Marlborough Buildings, a rank of Grade II listed buildings, and as a consequence has wonderful views particular to the front over the Royal Crescent lawns and the Royal Crescent itself. The views to the rear are also spectacular, looking over the allotments and Royal Victoria Park.
