Upper Church Street, Bath, Somerset, BA1

Number 8 occupies the corner position of Upper Church Street and Catharine Place, and so benefits from the light aspect through windows on each side. Built in 1780, the building has five apartments - two above and two below the first floor. It's Grade II* listed and was fully refurbished in 2022 with all appropriate permissions, including listed buildings.

The apartment is decorated throughout in subtle designer paint colours that highlight the beautiful and historical details in each of the rooms, including the inner hall's ornate arch.

The drawing room's centrepiece is an iron fireplace with an original marble surround containing a gas fire.
Three panelled windows (with shutters) allow light to fill the space and highlight the quality features such as the wall panelling, discreet cupboards and built-in bookcases. This room - and the principal bedroom - have highly decorative ceilings, the latter was originally a music room and the details reflect this including a spectacular starburst.

The elegant principal bedroom is carpeted, has Venetian windows on one side and fitted floor-to-ceiling wardrobes on the other. The en suite bathroom features a deep bath and walk-in shower finished in polished fumé emperadour limestone with underfloor heating and quality Dornbracht bathroom fixtures.

The kitchen has bespoke units with walnut interiors, corian worktops and a custom-designed breakfast bar with bookshelves by the windows. There's an induction hob, built-in double oven and dishwasher and honed porcini marble flooring. A loft hatch and ladder allow access to a large and useful storage space above the kitchen ceiling.

The second bedroom suite has a wall of elegant panelling behind which is the en suite shower room and a separate utility cupboard: it's a clever design that makes the most of the space in a stylish and practical way.

The fittings and fixtures throughout are exemplary, with Banham and Samuel Heath ironmongery, Ripples bathrooms and a Harvey Jones kitchen. Additional technical specifications include 5amp lighting network, CAT 6 throughout, water softener, zoned heating by room and hot water both controllable via the HeatMiser app.
