2 bed Flat For Sale £875,000
Sydney Place, Bath, Somerset BA2


Description
A rare opportunity to acquire a ground floor apartment within one of Bath's most important Grade I listed townhouses with Royal connections. A decorative copper plaque on the exterior of the apartment highlights; "here lived Duke of Clarence 1817, afterwards King William IV 1769-1837". Sydney Place was built between 1804 -1808 and is the crowning achievement of architect John Pinch The Elder and was considered to be the centre of fashionable life in Bath. The terrace consists of 11 grand townhouses fronting the beautiful Sydney Gardens. Queen Charlotte, consort of King George III, lived in No.93 when she spent time in Bath in 1817. More recently, the location has found fame in the series Bridgerton; one of the key locations is across the street; The Holburne Museum and the beautiful Sydney Gardens.

The apartment is accessed via a fine columned entrance to a circular communal hall and an impressive inner communal hall where a sweeping cantilevered stone staircase rises to the upper floors. The entrance to Flat 2 opens to its spacious entrance hall, where the 14 ft ceiling height draws the eye to elaborate cornicing and ceiling plasterwork. The principal rooms have exquisite architectural details with panelled doors, ornate architraves, tall sash windows with working shutters, and fire surrounds. The accommodation comprises a drawing room and the second bedroom to the front of the building with views of the Holburne Museum. The principal bedroom with a built-in wardrobe is to the rear of the building overlooking the private garden. There is a modern shower room and a well-equipped kitchen that has space for a small breakfast table. Steps lead down to a utility room and access to the private and enclosed garden.

Garden
The private garden is southwest-facing, mainly paved with planted borders and enclosed by stone walls and fencing. There is a circular area with a gravel path, and at the end of the garden is a functional garden store. There are some trees, various shrubs, honeysuckle, climbers, rambling roses and an apple tree. The garden is pretty and ideal for al fresco dining.

Sydney Place enjoys an enviable location at the end of Great Pulteney Street, adjacent to Sydney Gardens and the Holburne Museum. The city center, Bath Spa Station, the Recreation Ground - home to Bath Rugby, and a wide range of shops, restaurants, and cultural activities are just a few minutes walks away. Lovely strolls can be enjoyed around Sydney Gardens, along Great Pulteney Street to Henrietta Gardens, the Kennett & Avon Canal towpath, or nearby National Trust woodland and fields to the Bath Skyline. It is city living at its finest and enjoys good access to Bath Spa station that offers mainline services to London Paddington and Bristol Temple Meads.
