Marlborough Buildings, Bath BA1

A different view of life in bath

What if the Royal Crescent were not somewhere you visited, but the view you came home to?

Imagine waking to the morning light pouring through tall Georgian windows, looking out towards one of Britain's most celebrated architectural landmarks, and knowing that the very best of Bath is just a beautiful walk away.

Welcome to Number One Marlborough Buildings.

If you have been dreaming of making Bath your home, imagine having the space to welcome family and friends, beautiful rooms filled with natural light, the Royal Crescent as your neighbour and the rare convenience of two garages and private parking. It brings together so much of what makes life in this city special.

And with the extensive refurbishment already undertaken, you can move in, settle down and start enjoying it all from day one.

Light, space and A view that never grows old

Imagine sunlight streaming through the tall Georgian windows, filling your home with warmth and bringing the beautiful proportions of these rooms to life.

Thanks to its end-of-terrace position and triple aspect, natural light is one of the great pleasures of living here. Even the staircase enjoys a southerly aspect, bringing sunshine into the heart of the house.

And then there are the views.

Picture yourself looking out across the treetops of Royal Victoria Park towards the magnificent sweep of the Royal Crescent, watching its honey-coloured Bath stone change with the light and the seasons.

It is a view you may have admired countless times on visits to Bath. Here, it becomes part of your everyday life.
A house made for bringing people together


Imagine a Sunday lunch with family gathered around the table, friends arriving for a long weekend, or an evening that begins in the kitchen and carries on into the reception rooms as the conversation flows.

At Number One, there is room for all of it.

The Smallbone kitchen, with its impressive marble island and Gaggenau appliances, is a lovely place to prepare a meal, perhaps with someone keeping you company at the breakfast bar.

Just across the hallway, the spacious dining room brings a different pleasure altogether.

Imagine beginning your morning over breakfast, looking out towards the Royal Crescent as Bath comes to life beyond your windows. Or perhaps you would prefer a slower, more private start to the day. Close the lower shutters, leave the upper windows open to the morning sunshine, and enjoy the feeling of having the room entirely to yourself, with the soft easterly light still pouring in.

Later, the same room becomes a wonderful setting for gathering everyone around the table, whether for a relaxed family supper or a dinner party that stretches long into the evening.

There is something particularly appealing about a house that can be full of life and laughter, yet still offers the space and privacy to enjoy quieter moments.
Space to live differently


One of the great pleasures of a home of this scale is the freedom to accommodate different generations, visiting friends and changing family needs.

With five bedrooms and two further versatile rooms, there is generous space for everyone, whether you are hosting guests, working from home or simply enjoying having somewhere to retreat to.

The lower ground floor is particularly well suited to longer stays or independent family living. With its own private entrance, a spacious bedroom, a second room that could serve as a dressing room or home office, and its own bathroom, it is ideal for grown-up children, visiting relatives or a parent who would appreciate having their own space while remaining close to family.

And as life changes, these rooms can change with you, becoming a dedicated workspace, somewhere to pursue your interests or a private retreat.

You have the freedom to make the house work around your life, rather than the other way around.
A private retreat for body and mind


Imagine returning from a long walk through the Bath countryside and spending a quiet half-hour in the gentle, soothing warmth of your own infrared sauna, allowing tired muscles to relax and the day to gently unwind.

Perhaps you begin your mornings with some exercise, followed by the restorative warmth of the sauna and a refreshing shower, setting you up beautifully for the day ahead.

With your own private spa and dedicated space for exercise, looking after your health and wellbeing becomes one of the everyday pleasures of living here.

Bath, right on your doorstep

There is something quite extraordinary about opening your front door and being greeted by the magnificent sweep of the Royal Crescent. Imagine that being the beginning and end of your everyday walks, with beautiful Royal Avenue leading you through the greenery and into the heart of Bath.

Perhaps your morning begins with a stroll through the park, followed by breakfast at one of your favourite cafés. Later, you might meet friends for lunch, browse the independent shops or enjoy an afternoon at one of the city's galleries. And when evening comes, Bath's restaurants, theatres and cultural life are yours to enjoy, all within an easy walk of home.

Yet what makes this location particularly special is the peace you return to. Surrounded by beautiful parkland and the architectural splendour of this historic neighbourhood, there is a wonderful sense of calm and seclusion.

There is a reassuring sense of belonging here, too. Alongside the Royal Crescent and Marlborough Buildings, you become part of a neighbourhood where generations of residents have taken pride in caring for these remarkable Georgian homes and preserving the character of their surroundings.

If you are relocating to Bath, it is a wonderful place to put down roots. You can establish your favourite routines, get to know your neighbours and become part of a community with a strong sense of identity and history.
The rare convenience of private parking


If you know Bath, you will appreciate just how valuable private parking is in this part of the city.

Imagine returning home on a cold winter's evening, driving straight into your own heated garage and stepping directly into the warmth of your home. No matter what the weather is doing outside, you can unload your shopping or luggage in comfort, with everything just where you need it.

And the convenience extends well beyond your own arrival home. With a second garage to the rear, additional private parking and an EV charger, visiting family and friends can enjoy the ease of parking here too.

You have the freedom to explore the countryside and travel further afield whenever you choose, while enjoying a life in Bath where so much of the city is yours to discover on foot.
The pleasure of A turnkey georgian home


Restoring a Georgian house of this age and architectural significance is no small undertaking.

Imagine being able to enjoy everything you love about historic Bath architecture, knowing that the considerable work of bringing the house into the 21st century has already been undertaken.

The time spent planning, coordinating specialist trades, navigating the complexities of listed-building requirements and overseeing a restoration of this scale represents an enormous commitment. At Number One Marlborough Buildings, that investment of time and effort has already been made.

For you, the reward is time. Time to settle into Bath, welcome family and friends, explore your new surroundings and enjoy the life you have been looking forward to.

With the major refurbishment behind you, you can collect the keys, move in and begin making this remarkable Georgian house your home from day one.
