A superb two bedroom Grade II listed maisonette with private west-facing balcony, located in this highly desirable location.
The Garden Apartment at 10 Marlborough Buildings has been carefully refurbished in recent times to an exacting standard. The quality of craftsmanship is immediately evident throughout, with beautifully executed joinery and high-quality materials used in the bespoke fitted cabinetry, staircases, doors, and decorative panelling. Despite being a lower ground floor maisonette, the apartment enjoys an abundance of natural light. Combined with its impressive ceiling heights and elegant proportions, this creates a bright, spacious, and welcoming living environment.
The property is approached via a handsome communal entrance hall featuring attractive mosaic flooring. Stairs descend to a half landing, where there is access to a communal laundry room, before continuing to the apartment's private entrance on the lower ground floor. From here, further stairs lead to the garden level, where a useful storage room is situated with direct access to the communal gardens beyond.
Upon entering the apartment, an entrance landing provides access to the principal accommodation. To the left is a superb contemporary kitchen and dining room, a beautifully designed space featuring high ceilings, ornate cornicing, and an elegant stone fireplace surround.
The kitchen is fitted with an extensive range of stylish contemporary cabinetry complemented by marble work surfaces. At its heart is a substantial central island, ideal for both entertaining and everyday living, providing additional preparation and dining space. Integrated appliances include a five-ring gas hob, microwave, oven and grill, dishwasher, refrigerator, and freezer. An oak staircase rises from the kitchen to a striking galleried mezzanine overlooking both the kitchen and drawing room. Currently arranged as a study but could be used as an occasional bedroom.
On the opposite side of the landing lies the magnificent drawing room, an elegant reception space distinguished by its high ceilings, intricate cornicing, and oak flooring. Sash windows fitted with shutters enhance both character and comfort, while a contemporary fireplace provides an attractive focal point. Oak stairs lead through a glazed door to a private west-facing decked terrace, perfectly positioned to enjoy the afternoon and evening sun. Steps descend directly from the terrace to the communal gardens.
Stairs from the entrance landing lead down to the garden level, where the principal bedroom enjoys a peaceful outlook over the communal gardens through twin sash windows. The room benefits from extensive fitted wardrobes and a contemporary en suite shower room. Also on this level is a beautifully appointed family bathroom, finished to a high specification and featuring both a bath and separate shower with a mosaic-tiled seat. A further double bedroom completes the accommodation.
Outside
The attractive communal gardens to the rear of the property can be accessed either via the communal hallways or directly from the apartment's private terrace, offering a delightful extension to the outdoor living space.

Having lived in Marlborough Buildings for a number of years, I can honestly say it's one of my favourite streets in Bath.
