Grand Parade, Bath BA2

Built in 1901 as the foremost luxury hotel in Bath and subsequently commissioned and occupied by the Admiralty in 1939 until 1989. The Empire was restored to its original splendour in 1996. The result is a range of luxuriously appointed apartments set within one of Bath’s most prominent Listed buildings.

Residents at The Empire have access to excellent additional facilities which include a drawing room, dining room, a delightful private garden, cinema, snooker room, additional laundry facilities and fitness room. There are also three guest suites which can be rented for a nominal fee.

This one-bedroom apartment is situated on the fifth floor of this elegant building, with easy access by either of the two available lifts.

On entering the apartment, you are welcomed into an entrance hall with a storage cupboard, as well as a very useful airing cupboard. The sitting room has good proportions, with lots of light and enjoys a south easterly view over Parade Gardens. Adjoining the sitting room is a fully fitted kitchen, with wall and base cupboards, as well as integrated appliances to include a Bosch fridge-freezer, Neff electric hob, Neff electric oven and microwave above, Neff dishwasher and Neff washing machine. The double bedroom is good sized with a useful built-in wardrobe. Next to the bedroom is the bathroom.
