This top-floor penthouse occupies an iconic position on Bath’s Royal Crescent, offering rare access to one of the city’s most prestigious addresses. Bright, well-proportioned rooms, high ceilings and sash windows retain authentic Georgian character while providing elevated views across the city. Lift access and residents’ front lawn enhance everyday convenience and appeal.
The apartment is a straightforward one-bedroom layout suited to a single occupant, couple or a refined pied-à-terre. The living room’s fireplace and generous proportions give a sense of space; the kitchen and bathroom provide modern fixtures and practical storage. Electric boiler with underfloor heating supplies warmth throughout.
Practical considerations are clear and factual: the property is leasehold (very long lease remaining — circa 954 years) with a substantial annual service charge (£4,665.44). As a Grade I listed building, external alterations will be restricted and maintenance follows conservation requirements. The area reports above-average crime compared with national levels, and parking is by permit only rather than a dedicated private space.
This is a rare opportunity to own a slice of Bath’s architectural heritage in a walkable, culturally rich location. Buyers should prioritise the property for its history, situation and ease of use — and factor in listed-building responsibilities, communal costs and parking limits when assessing value.
