2 bed Flat For Sale £425,000
Belmont, Bath, Somerset, BA1

Positioned in the lower slopes of the desirable Lansdown area of Bath, on one of Bath’s iconic raised parades, this beautifully presented penthouse apartment occupies the top floor of a Grade II listed Georgian townhouse. Laid out over one floor, with the addition of a mezzanine level accessed by a spiral staircase, this unique property boasts two bedrooms, a kitchen, an open-plan living and dining area, and a bathroom. Filled with daylight due to the presence of a skylight and large windows the main living area enjoys far-reaching views across the city. The mezzanine level, also benefiting from a skylight, is currently used as a sitting room but could serve multiple purposes, including a study, snug or third sleeping area. Both bedrooms are doubles with views over a parapet and beyond. ‘There is something about the amount of light and the spiral staircase which makes it feel quite Parisian,’ says the owner, who has lived in the building for seven years and owned the flat for four. ‘I have to say that this is not only a lovely spot to live, but the rental prospects are excellent,’ she adds. ‘Being on the top floor means it’s wonderfully peaceful, yet one is just a short walk away from everything this beautiful city has to offer.’ The property is well positioned to access Milsom Street, the Theatre Royal, and several green spaces, including Hedgemead Park, a secluded historic pleasure park with paths and sitting areas offering views over Bath, and Royal Victoria Park. The neighbourhood also boasts two renowned pedestrian areas, Saville Row and St Margaret’s Buildings, both hosting good eateries and independent shops.

‘Lower Lansdown and the surrounding area are steeped in history, with the Circus and The Royal Crescent both being a short, level walk from Belmont.’

‘The apartment benefits from being right in the heart of everything Bath has to offer, yet it’s in a quieter world of its own up in the rooftops.’

‘The communal area, including hallways and stairs, has recently been updated. It looks very smart indeed.’

‘For a top-floor flat, it feels very spacious and light, and there is a good amount of storage space.’

‘It’s a wonderful home for entertaining and offers a great deal of flexibility, as the bedrooms and mezzanine could be used in various different ways.’

‘Nothing quite says ‘Bath’ like living in a period property set on one of the city’s raised pavements.’
