Elevated two‑bedrooms in a secluded James Wilson villa, close to RUH and Bath centre.
Large 1,256 sqft apartment with king‑sized rooms and high ceilings
Set within a secluded mid‑Victorian villa by celebrated Bath architect James Wilson, this elevated two‑bedroom apartment offers generous, king‑sized rooms and uninterrupted garden views. Floor‑to‑ceiling sash windows flood the principal living spaces with daylight; high ceilings and original cornicing retain period character while framing the communal landscaped gardens below. The apartment occupies a convenient upper‑ground position — elevated for outlook yet accessible from street level.
The principal bedroom is a calm suite with a three‑sided bay projecting into the garden; the second bedroom works equally well as a guest room, study or studio. Two bathrooms and a well‑proportioned reception space give the apartment flexibility for quiet family life or professional homeowners seeking nearby access to the Royal United Hospital and central Bath. Fast broadband, excellent mobile signal and proximity to highly regarded schools add to everyday practicality.
Practical points to know: the property is leasehold with a long remaining term, and an average service charge of around £1,500pa. The building’s original sandstone/limestone fabric likely has little added insulation, which can mean higher heating costs and potential constraints on external alterations due to conservation considerations. Parking is available off‑street and the location benefits from very low local crime and a peaceful, private setting.
This apartment suits buyers seeking a characterful, spacious home in one of Bath’s most discreet addresses — those who value light, scale and historic detail and are comfortable living within a managed historic building environment.
