2 bed Flat For Sale £650,000
The Empire is an iconic Grade II Listed building set in the very centre of The unesco World Heritage City of Bath adjacent to Bath Abbey, Parade Gardens, Pulteney Bridge and the renowned facilities the city centre has to offer. The building dates from the early 1900's and the apartment retains features of that period including mullion windows, lofty ceiling heights, corniced ceilings, dado rails and picture rails. This particular apartment enjoys an enviable position on the eastern side of the building with views across the City including the River Avon, Pulteney Bridge and Weir, The Rec and far reaching views to countryside. Bath Abbey, The Roman Baths and City Centre are but a short level walk away making this one of the most convenient positions in the City that one could imagine.
The apartment is approached through a private entrance door to a spacious hallway from which doors lead off to the principle rooms. The living room is of good size with a feature fireplace and french doors opening onto a private balcony with views across Pulteney Bridge and Pulteney Weir. A door leads to the modern re-fitted kitchen which boasts a full range of built in appliances. There are two double bedrooms presently the second bedroom is used as a separate dining room while the master bedroom suite has a generous double bedroom and en suite bathroom. The second bedroom enjoys direct access to the balcony while the main bedroom has a window seat from which to enjoy the panoramic views. In addition to the en suite there is a separate shower room accessed from the hallway.
Number four has the advantage of a private allocated parking space in the underground car park. This is a rare and valuable asset in central Bath.
The Empire development is age restricted to those of 50 and over and has excellent communal facilities. It has an impressive entrance from Grand Parade through a reception hall to the grand hallway which has a superb staircase rising to the upper floors which are also lift served.
