Marlborough Garden Apartment
Everyone loves a secret and Bath has a penchant for them. Behind those tall, glittering Georgian windows are surprising spaces, extravagant proportions, unexpected views and indulgent follies.
This unexpected house within a house is a secret worth knowing. Tucked inside a handsome Georgian Terrace that flanks the famous Royal Crescent in the centre of Bath, is large, quiet and contemporary apartment that ranges over 3 floors, comfortably accommodating 4 people. The house has impressive period features and contemporary flair, resulting in a stylish, comfortable and welcoming home. It’s a great place to have a soiree of family and friends and indulge in some follies of your own.
The grand entrance leads down a broad staircase to the apartment below which begins slightly above garden level. A panelled entrance lobby is open to a lovely large kitchen/ diner on one side and a spacious, elegant living room with garden views on the other.
Rich gold draped curtains in the living room highlight the lofty ceiling and intricate cornicing. There is a large ’L’-shaped cream leather sofa and armchair in front of a huge decorative stone fireplace. For entertainment, there is a large smart TV with BT sports and also a DVD, and a panelled bookshelf with a radio, i-pod docking and a good selection of books and DVD’s. Steps lead up to French doors and a sun-deck that overlooks a pretty garden. The view takes in tidy allotments and mature beech trees of the Royal Victoria Park and in fine weather; you can watch hot-air balloons taking flight. There is an outdoor table and chairs to seat 4.
High ceilings, tall sash windows and another huge decorative stone fire-place feature in this fully fitted contemporary cream kitchen. Glamorous marble worktops and cupboards well stocked with desirable cookware and utensils will inspire your culinary inclinations. A central island has a 5 ring gas hob and there is a double oven, a microwave, a large fridge and separate freezer and a dishwasher. It is a great entertaining space, with a dining table and chairs to seat 6.
The smart, spacious master bedroom downstairs is at garden level with two sash windows with flower designed blinds. It has a super king leather bed with a TV built in. A wall of fitted wardrobes has plenty of drawers and hanging rails and there is a separate dressing table. The newly refurbished en-suite is tiled throughout and has a large shower with glass screen along with rainfall and hand held shower heads, a hand basin with storage over and WC.
Also at this level is a newly refurbished family bathroom with a bath, hand basin with storage below, w.c. and a fabulous large walk in shower complete with overhead rainfall shower, hand held shower and a mosaic tiled shower seat.
Down a flight of oak steps is the final double bedroom. It is very spacious with a 5' king-size bed, fitted wardrobes with plenty of shelves, drawers and hanging rails, a dressing table with mirror and lamp and TV. Two shuttered windows look into a small sealed courtyard complete with lights and plants and located below garden level.
In the photos you will see a small oak staircase from the kitchen leading to a room. Please note this room is locked and not available for use.
