Brock Street, Bath, Somerset, BA1

Number 16's entrance is unique in the terrace, its elaborate Gothic Revival porch an example of the elaborate architectural design of the times. The garden flat occupies the ground and lower ground floors of this attractive Georgian townhouse, reached through an elegant communal hallway with tiled flooring and decorative transom windows that allow light into the space.
The entrance to the apartment is straight into the living room which features Venetian sashed windows with views across the rear, south-facing garden and to the park beyond. A fireplace with marble mantle provides an alternative focal point to the room, flanked by arched alcoves. A soft, neutral colour pallete here and throughout the apartment complements the historical features. An internal hall leads to the kitchen/dining room at the front of the house, also with Venetian windows. The kitchen is well-designed with units on three sides of the room. Some have open shelving and glass fronted wall cupboards, there's a gas hob and extractor fan and twin electric ovens.
Between the two rooms on this level, a staircase leads to the lower ground floor and the two good-sized bedrooms. One bedroom has a large, built-in wardrobe and windows to the small courtyard at the front of the house. The adjacent bathroom has tiled flooring and a bath. Along the hallway is the principal bedroom, occupying the same footprint as the living room above, and featuring similar arched alcoves and fireplace. There are three glazed doorways: two are mirrored; the central one leads to a tiled inner hall with a shower room to the left, a door to the rear garden straight ahead, and to a study on the right. Though ceiling heights here are lower than on the ground floor, the clever use of glazing enables each of these rooms to benefit from the light.

At the front of the house on Brock Street, ironwork steps lead to a small courtyard and storage on the lower ground floor. At the rear, the garden is accessed from both floors. From the living room, steps down lead to a gravelled dining terrace/seating area. From the lower ground floor, access is via the bedroom to a paved terrace. The garden is mostly paved, with a rill at its centre and flowerbeds along the walls on either side. There are some mature shrubs and climbers, as well as hedging and a Box parterre at the far end of the garden, where a gate opens into the pathway leading to Royal Victoria Park
