Property description
4 Royal Crescent is a fine and elegant example of a whole Grade 1 listed Georgian residence, set in this breathtaking crescent of thirty houses. The Royal Crescent is considered to be a world class residential address and many of the houses have been home to various notable people for over 200 years. 4 Royal Crescent offers a rare opportunity to acquire a whole house which benefits from practical and immaculately presented family accommodation which is principally arranged over four floors with the added benefit of a self contained one bedroom housekeeper’s apartment in the lower ground floor. The property has retained a wealth of original period features which includes stunning fireplaces, impressive ornate plaster work and a beautiful cantilevered staircase.
On the ground floor there is an elegant lobby and entrance hall, a well equipped family kitchen and breakfast room to the rear with French doors that lead onto the garden, a formal dining room to the front overlooking Crescent Lawn, a dual aspect office and spacious utility and guest cloakroom. The first floor offers traditional Georgian reception rooms with the drawing room to the front, which enjoys the spectacular view and a withdrawing room to the rear with a pretty Juliette balcony along with a further office. The master bedroom suite is on the second floor along with an en suite guest bedroom. There are four further double bedrooms on the top floor which are of unusually high ceiling height and a large family bath and shower room.
In the lower ground floor in addition to the self contained apartment there is a large games room, wine cellar, boiler room, housekeeping store and storage vault.
Externally to the rear there is a well stocked town garden with a wealth of mature shrubs and trees which includes a Black Ash, a pretty sun terrace, manicured lawn and gated access to Upper Church Street. To the front there is a private courtyard and two vaulted stores. In addition there are two secure private gated parking spaces available by separate negotiation.
The 30 houses on the Royal Crescent also have exclusive access and jointly own Crescent Lawn to the front for which they pay £200 per annum.
Situation
The Royal Crescent was designed by John Wood the younger between 1767 and 1774 and is one of the finest examples of Georgian architecture within Europe. It is the most famous address within the city of Bath and enjoys fine views over the Royal Crescent lawns and the city beyond.

Local shops and amenities are also nearby within the pedestrianised street of Margaret’s Buildings providing a range of local galleries, boutiques and two restaurants. Also nearby within St. James’s Square are a chemist, delicatessen and newsagent.
