A captivating studio apartment that is part of a townhouse in a tranquil setting in the heart of Bath, it is ideal as a private and restful retreat for couples, and an easy drive to explore the surrounding breathtaking Somerset countryside. Within half a mile of the property, you can find the famous Pulteney Bridge, thriving city life, the historic Roman Baths, and the start of the 6-mile circular Bath Skyline walk. Less than 8 miles away, you’ll find the town of Bradford-On-Avon with its beautiful buildings, canal walk and restaurants and inns, whilst the start of the Bristol and Bath Railway Path is just 2.5 miles away, which offers traffic-free cycling and walking.

This is a delightful property with the entrance located down a steep set of 17 steps. The entrance leads into the loggia, where you can sit and enjoy an al fresco drink. There are three steps up into the main apartment, which is a sleek and contemporary open-plan studio. There is a striking yet compact kitchen with everything for your self-catering requirements. A sweet little antique Pembroke table is perfect for a glass of wine while dinner is prepared. The main studio room provides an eye-catching and contemporary twist on the former Georgian kitchens which would have occupied this floor over two centuries ago. This high-ceilinged room boasts a sparkling chandelier, and natural light floods in from the two large original sash windows with working shutters. The ornate fireplace today houses a TV and there is a cosy sofa too. The bed is a sumptuous king-size beneath its tapestry hangings and tester overhead, complete with period fittings, including crystal wall lights on either side. The half-panelled bathroom is contemporary and sleek.
