The property combines the character of a former chapel with the convenience and efficiency of a high specification contemporary home, benefitting from lift access directly to the penthouse level.

The property further benefits from one allocated parking space with EV charging within a secure gated car park. A further parking space is available by separate negotiation.

History
Argyle House occupies a site closely associated with Bath's rich Nonconformist heritage and the historic Argyle Chapel community, established in 1789. For generations, the surrounding buildings played an important role in the religious, educational and social life of the city, with Grove Street serving as the location of the Argyle Chapel Day School, founded in 1844. The chapel flourished under the renowned Rev. William Jay, whose ministry helped establish the congregation as one of Bath's most influential religious communities.

Today, following a careful and sympathetic restoration, Argyle House has been thoughtfully reimagined as an exclusive collection of luxury apartments. The conversion preserves the character and historical significance of the original building while introducing the highest standards of contemporary living. This sensitive blend of heritage architecture and modern design ensures that an important part of Bath's history continues to thrive.
