Kensington Place, Walcot, Bath

Description

A beautifully finished and presented lower ground floor maisonette apartment forming part of a distinguished Georgian Grade II listed townhouse. This rank of townhouses was believed to have been designed and built c.1795 by a John Palmer. The property was initially bought as a family home and has been refurbished and converted as family requirements changed over the years. The result is stunning and really does need to be viewed to be fully appreciated. Now a very successful and proven holiday let investment with large southerly aspect garden, private parking with garages and easy quick level access to the city.

Accommodation First Floor

There are two ways to enter the property. One is from the main front door of the building where you enter into the communal hallway and take the door immediately to your right down a flight of stairs and enter into the hallway next to the living area. Alternatively you can enter via the garden up stone steps and enter into the living area. The living area is a lovely and light entertaining space with windows and door overlooking the garden, dining and seating areas with kitchen. The kitchen is fitted with modern units and integrated appliances. An opening leads you to the hallway with stairs to the lower ground floor to your left and to your right a shower room and bedroom. The bedroom is double in size with built-in storage cupboards and ensuite shower room with WC.

Lower Ground Floor

A spiral staircase takes you down to the lower floor. You enter into a small hallway space with small kitchenette with electric hob on worktop with cupboards underneath. A door leads to a converted vault room currently used as a playroom. A further door takes you through to the living room which is a great space for relaxing. Spacious with storage cupboards and opening up onto another vault space. This is the most intriguing vault conversion and words don't do it justice as it has been converted into a unique indoor garden area. It needs to be viewed to take it in. A hallway from the living room provides access, via a door, to the garden and leads to a double bedroom in another converted vault space. The bedroom also offers the most elaborate ensuite with large double walk-in shower with glass screens, bath, washbasin and WC.

Externally

Steps from the property lead down to the garden which is initially laid with stone slabs and progresses towards a large decked seating area with covered gazebo structure with seating. A further decked area leads you around a pond and to your right you are welcomed by a wooden constructed outdoor bar. Stone steps lead up to an additional raised seating area with stone built BBQ and access to the rear of the garage. Back to the house and to the left of the entrance steps is a door leading into the final converted vault which really is the showpiece. You enter into a completely tiled changing area with heated towel rail and a glass door leads you into an area with WC and further glass door opens up to the steam room. A great facility with ample seating for a number of people. Steps also rise out of the garden up to a lockable gate on the side aspect. From here you can go to the rear garages and driveway or to the front of the building.
