Kensington Chapel, Kensington Place

Enjoy the heritage of Bath to the fullest by viewing this luxurious Kensington Chapel apartment being sold with no onward chain and share of the freehold.

Available to view from the 14th of January 2026 and now booking viewings.

The original grade II listed chapel was built in 1795, designed by the architect John Palmer and converted into luxury apartments in 2010 and no expense has been spared by the current owner.

This property would be a fantastic family home, private rental or Airbnb which is its current use, generating a good income. It's the perfect property to get away with friends or family, which has made the Airbnb so successful and as a private let the demand would be considerable, taking into consideration the location and the unique accommodation on offer.

To enter the building, there is a security entrance phone system. You will notice almost immediately how well the communal areas are maintained and there is also a lift servicing all floors, plus the added advantage of some of the chapel's original features.

The apartment is on the third floor of the chapel and once inside the scale and quality of this property will be apparent. You'll find a wrap-around, open-plan dining, living, study area and a very modern and well-appointed kitchen.

The living room is generous in size, with high ceilings and allows space for a sizeable dining room table with 6 chairs. The large sliding doors brings the terrace into this room, as you can see from the photos and the video. There is enough space for two sizeable sofas and a large TV along. The living area features a stunning pair of modern sputnik pendant lights.

The modern kitchen has a real sense of style, is well appointed with plenty of cooking space, work top surfaces and plenty of storage. There is a single drainer sink unit with mixer taps, a built-in hob unit with an overhead extractor fan along with a built-in oven, washing machine, dishwasher, wall light points, spotlights, part tiled walls and a high flank window adding to the natural light. The kitchen also has high ceilings with a further pair of dramatic sputnik pendant ceiling lights.

There is a cosy, but functional study/work from home space that includes some fun lighting features and is a nice spot to work from according to the owner.

From the front door, to the left hand side, you'll find a separate toilet, airing cupboard and directly in front of you is the master suite which can fit a king-sized bed, and has an en-suite bathroom which is beautifully decorated and features a half-circle bath with mixer taps, low level WC, display shelving down lights and wash hand basin.

Turn left at the front door and you will head towards the 2nd bedroom and mezzanine floor which is currently used as a 3rd bedroom for the Airbnb with enough space for two king sized beds. However depending on your needs and requirements the mezzanine floor could be a great study or office space. There is a walk-through dressing room and an en-suite shower room with a fully enclosed shower unit, a wall mounted wash hand basin, low level WC, and wall mounted radiator.

The external terrace is an amazing decked area to entertain on or if you just want to chill out. There is privacy due to its design and lighting along the wall with some great views. To the rear of the property there is private, gated parking for one car and the the access road is to the left hand of the building as you look at it.
