Portland Place, Bath BA1

This handsome Georgian terrace is in an elevated position north of the city centre, just below Lansdown. Portland Place is a triangle of terraces at the peak of Burlington Street. This top terrace has wide steps leading up to the pennant paving fronting the terrace, all adding to the impressive position. The apartment is beautifully presented. A recently refurbished communal hall leads to the private entrance on the ground floor. The elegant drawing room is a major feature with two full height sash windows with working shutters. A central marble fireplace with wood burner is also a rare find in a city apartment. The plasterwork on the tall corniced ceiling plus the period ‘wedding doors’ add to the stylish interior décor. Facing south, this room is bathed with light. The adjacent principal bedroom also benefits from high ceilings, a marble fire place and pleasant outlook over the rear garden. There is a well-appointed bathroom plus a separate guest cloakroom with room and plumbing for a washing machine and tumble dryer. The kitchen has been well-designed in a contemporary style to make use of all the space. Corian worktops and sleek units incorporate storage as well as integrated appliances including a gas hob, oven and hood, dishwasher, and fridge. A clever seating area has been created in the hall opposite with a breakfast bar, it is also next to the garden door, so perfect situation for outside dining. At the far end of the apartment is the second bedroom also with direct access to the garden plus a private shower room.

Outside

The gardens are a major element of this spacious city home. They have been landscaped to create three terraces with paved flooring and glass balustrades. The first terrace is accessed directly from the ground floor hall and second bedroom; perfect for your morning coffee. A few steps lead up to the larger terrace with plenty of space for a large dining table and outside seating. The upper terrace has the bonus of the Bath stone wall created a high back drop; a mature tree provides a natural umbrella over a seating area. With an aspect towards the west, over neighbouring gardens, this is a great outdoor space.

Situation

Bath has a wonderful mixture of architecture from over the centuries, with Georgian properties being the most prominent. It is the stunning sweeping crescents and beautiful squares, which add to the appeal of this gorgeous Georgian city. Portland Place and its neighbouring no-through streets are popular due to their elevated position on the northern slopes of the city. To walk into the centre, you pass the Bath Assembly Rooms and continue to the wonderful shops of the Bartlett Street quarter. With eateries such as The Beckford Bottle Shop and Canteen, The Loft, or Dos Dedos, you may not even make it to Milsom Street.
