Cavendish Place, Bath, BA1

Bath boasts a rich and varied architectural heritage spanning many centuries, with Georgian properties forming its most celebrated and enduring legacy. The city’s iconic sweeping crescents and handsome terraces, including Cavendish Place, contribute greatly to the timeless appeal of this beautiful Georgian city. Behind the impressive Grade I Listed façade lies the communal reception hall featuring ornate plasterwork, corniced ceilings, Bath stone flooring and double doors leading to an inner hall with a magnificent stone cantilevered staircase. The apartment is accessed via a private staircase on the second floor rising to the two upper floors. A key feature of this city home is its versatile layout. The principal floor offers three rooms alongside the kitchen. To the rear of the property is a generous reception room, which could also serve as the principal bedroom, complete with a period fireplace. A second reception room enjoys delightful views over the High Common, a wonderful green expanse of Bath incorporating a golf course, mature trees, and open common land. The kitchen sits centrally between the reception rooms, while a third room also benefits from far-reaching westerly views. The upper floor comprises a loft-style bedroom, a further well-proportioned bedroom, a study and the family bathroom. An additional shower room and useful storage cupboards complete the accommodation. This well-presented period home is offered to the market with no onward chain.
