About this property

  • Somerset Place is a striking crescent designed by John Eveleigh, one of Bath's most distinguished Georgian architects, situated on a no-through road and forming part of the acclaimed serpentine line of buildings extending from Lansdown Place East. In recent years the crescent has undergone a radical transformation and is now one of Bath's most sought after addresses.

    6b is an impressive upper floor maisonette benefiting from lift access and its own private roof terrace. Entering the apartment at second floor level, a generous entrance hall with oak flooring leads through to the beautifully designed kitchen/breakfast room, with contemporary Italian-made units and a generous central island. Appliances include an integrated dishwasher, fridge freezer, wine fridge, 4-ring Siemens induction hob and Miele double oven. Three sash windows afford excellent levels of natural light into the room and there is plenty of space for dining to one side.

    To the front of the apartment is the wonderful south-facing drawing room, with marble fireplace and three large sash windows offering wonderful views across Bath.

    Also at this level is a useful cloakroom and a modern staircase under which is a large storage cupboard.

    On the third floor is the charming principal bedroom with a wall of fitted wardrobes and a luxurious en suite bathroom with walk-in shower. Adjacent to the master bedroom is a well-fitted utility room with space for a washing machine and dryer. Also on this floor are two further double bedrooms, one with a good sized walk-in wardrobe and the other with fitted wardrobes, and a beautifully-appointed family bathroom.

    OUTSIDE
    Stairs lead up from the third floor to a beautiful decked roof terrace accessed via sliding glazed doors – the perfect space in which to relax or enjoy al fresco dining. All residents of Somerset Place benefit from access to the delightful communal gated gardens.

The views from this apartment really are stunning, looking across the rooftops of the city to the countryside beyond. The finish is exquisite, and there are the superb added benefits of concrete floors, lift access and a concierge service.
