A stylish upper floor maisonette situated in an iconic Grade II listed crescent

Description

Nestled in the heart of Bath, Cavendish Crescent stands out as one of the city's most picturesque and sought-after locations. This Grade II Listed crescent, designed by the renowned architect John Pinch the Elder, comprises eleven elegant townhouses. Positioned on the lower slopes of Lansdown, near the iconic Royal Crescent and below Sion Hill, it offers breath taking south-westerly views across the city and adjacent parkland.

This beautifully presented apartment occupies the upper floors of one of these historic townhouses, shared by just three flats. The main entrance, used only by this apartment and one other, exudes the charm of a private home, featuring a magnificent cantilevered staircase leading to the first floor. Your private front door opens to a staircase with a half-landing garden room, offering views of Somerset Place and Lansdown Crescent.

A standout feature of this home is the two inter-connecting reception rooms. Both are stylishly decorated, with one offering garden views and the other showcasing tall sash windows that frame the lush scenery of the neighbouring common and the city beyond. These spacious light filled rooms boast high ceilings, period fireplaces, and bespoke cabinetry.

The kitchen, crafted by 'Plain English Design,' is functional and beautiful, with ample space for a dining table by the window, allowing you to enjoy the far-reaching views. There is also a useful cloakroom on this floor.

The upper floor houses four bedrooms, a rare find in this area. The principal bedroom overlooks the rear garden and includes built-in cabinetry. The two front bedrooms offer stunning views and all bedrooms are served by two stylish bathrooms.

In excellent decorative order and with ample storage throughout, this apartment affords the ability to move straight in and start enjoying life in Bath and this delightful crescent.

Cavendish Crescent also features a communal garden at the front, enclosed by railings and mature shrubs. This attractive space includes seasonal planting and a seating area, providing residents with a private oasis.
