The Royal Crescent, Bath, is one of the world’s iconic buildings. Built
between 1767 and 1775 and designed by John Wood the Younger, it remains to
this day one of the greatest pieces of Georgian architecture in the UK. Once
complete, the Royal Crescent rapidly established itself as Bath’s most
desirable address. There are 30 houses in an arc overlooking a private lawn
and the Royal Victoria Park. Over the generations the townhouses have been
converted to luxury apartments and are now Grade 1* Listed. Houses 13 and 14
have been joined together and comprise, fifteen self - contained apartments with
a long lease and share of the freehold. The Royal Crescent Garden Apartment is
located on the garden level at the rear of the house. It was tastefully
converted and has been continually updated by the owners over four decades of
ownership. As well as the original footprint of the Georgian house, a muse
like extension was created to add a second bedroom suite with double doors
from the bedroom opening into the garden. It also includes a perfect study for
those working from home or dressing room if required, plus a private shower
room. The second double bedroom and smart bathroom with a spacious walk - in
shower, are accessed from the central hallway, which directly leads out to the
garden. Within the apartment a bespoke kitchen has been designed to fit
integrated appliances as well as room for a breakfast table. The drawing room
has a central Georgian - style decorative marble fireplace. Two tall sash
windows give direct views out onto the garden and all the wooden window and
door shutters have been restored and are in working order. A wonderful garden
apartment situated in the middle of the Crescent next to the famous Royal
Crescent Hotel.
**Outside**
The garden is a good size and designed on two levels; an enviable feature that
sets this apartment apart from others in the centre of the city. The lower
courtyard garden is accessed from the main hallway as well as the principal
bedroom and is a delightful walled garden designed with low maintenance in
mind with flag stones, potted plants and climbing plants. What seems to be a
micro climate has allowed some tender and exotic potted plants to thrive. The
garden offers a fantastic place for relaxing and dining with a beautiful view
of the property. A stone staircase with a handmade wrought iron handrail leads
up to the upper garden. The upper garden has been planted with some beautiful
flowering trees offering shade and privacy. A majestic magnolia tree takes
centre stage. With raised beds and various seating area this is a real
addition to this charming city centre garden apartment. Each individual home
has the right to access to the private lawns to the front of the Royal
Crescent, divided by a ha - ha from the additional lawns of the Royal Victoria
Park below.
