**Description**
An exciting and rare opportunity to acquire this elegant and well - proportioned
first floor apartment overlooking historic St James’s Square, tucked away just
behind the Royal Crescent. The apartment is situated in a fine period building
dating from 1793 on the more sought after western side of the square. The
property boasts elegant sash windows, two large bedrooms, one with a balcony
to the rear overlooking High Common. The beautiful and expansive Victoria Park
is also situated just across the road and the city centre is a ten minute walk
away. With versatile and consistently proportioned accommodation, this
charming period home is in need of some minor updating and improvement. There
is a gas fire in the living room and thermostatically controlled electric
radiators heat the rest of the apartment. A new pressurised immersion hot
water system was installed in 2022 and, more recently, the entire building has
been fitted with a new fire alarm and lighting system, to comply with new
regulations. With appeal to a myriad of potential purchasers the apartment is
as suited to permanent occupation as it might be to being a stylish and easy
to lock up and leave pied - à - terre. A rare opportunity for the discerning
buyer; viewing comes highly recommended by the owners’ Sole Agent.

**Location**
In a city so well known for its crescents, St James’s Square stands out as an
architectural anomaly. Da - ting from 1793 and comprising only forty - five
houses, it is the masterpiece of Architect and Bath stalwart John Palmer and
is the only complete architectural square in Georgian Bath. Maintained by the
Residents Association St James’s Square Bath (), for the exclusive use of
residents, the central park (which is just over two acres and boasted its own
flock of sheep until 2002), is a soft symphony of leafy ancient trees,
informal lawns and spring and summer bulbs. A charming range of local
amenities (in the adjoining St James’s Street) include a delicatessen, wine
bar, newsagent and chemist.
Designated a World Heritage City, a wide range of amenities are available in
Bath city centre, including extensive shopping, theatre, art galleries and the
newly re - opened Holbourne Museum. Commuters will be pleased to note Junction
18 (M4) is only 10 miles north of Bath at Tormarton (accessing London,
Bristol, the South West and the Midlands via the M5). Bath Spa Railway Station
provides high speed links to London Paddington (90mins approx. ), Bristol
Temple Meads and the West Country rail network.
