Royal Crescent, Bath, BA1

3 Royal Crescent is a handsome Grade One star listed townhouse of magnificent proportions which has been divided sympathetically into 4 beautiful apartments, a ground and lower ground floor maisonette and a first, second and top floor apartment.

The first floor, which is generally considered the ‘premier’ floor, is approached via elegant and beautifully maintained communal entrance halls and a shallow staircase. The property is entered into a hallway from which all rooms lead. To the front there is an impressive formal drawing room with 3 stunning floor to ceiling sash windows over-looking the Crescent along with a period fireplace, intricate period cornicing detail and a central ceiling rose. To the rear there is a pretty master bedroom, a spacious kitchen and family bathroom.

On the mezzanine level there is a separate guest suite which comprises a vaulted bedroom, bathroom and small study area. In addition, there is a further undercroft storage area accessed from the communal entrance hall.

The property is in need of some updating and offers a wonderful opportunity with a blank canvas to create a spectacular home.
