Description
An impressive four bedroom upper maisonette which is beautifully presented, enhancing the fine Georgian proportions in arguably the best crescent in town!
Bath is famous for its stunning sweeping crescents and beautiful squares, and Cavendish Crescent is one of the most attractive crescents of all. It is Grade II Listed and comprises just eleven townhouses designed by the famous architect John Pinch the Elder. This smart address is situated on the lower slopes of Lansdown, near the Royal Crescent, just below Sion Hill and takes full advantage of the fine south-westerly prospect.
The beautifully presented apartment is on the upper floors of one of these townhouses, with just two other flats within the building. The communal entrance has the feel of a private home, with a wonderful cantilevered staircase rising to the first floor; then your private front door opens in to your own staircase with a half landing garden room with views of Somerset Place and Lansdown Crescent behind. A major feature of this home are the two inter-connecting reception rooms. Both stylishly presented, one with garden views to the rear the other with tall sash windows framing the verdant views across the adjacent common and over the city to the rolling hills. Both spacious rooms have high ceilings, period fireplaces and bespoke cabinetry. The kitchen is designed and built by ‘Plain English Design’ famous for their bespoke kitchens. The units are well planned with plenty of space for a dining table next to the window benefitting from those far reaching views.
The upper floor houses four bedrooms, often a commodity hard to find. The principal bedroom has a pleasant aspect to the rear with built in cabinetry. Again, superb views are enjoyed from the two front bedrooms, and all are served by two very stylish bathrooms.
Also of note at Cavendish Crescent is its communal garden to the front of the crescent. This attractive garden is fully enclosed by railings and mature shrubs. Seasonal planting and a seating area allow residents to enjoy this wonderful private space.
Situation
The Lansdown area is desirable for many reasons, its beautiful homes, its excellent schools including Royal High and Kingswood, plus the surrounding open countryside providing wonderful walks. Cavendish Crescent is one of the smallest crescents, beautifully elevated and facing south west over the city and bordered by the beautiful green parkland of the adjacent common. Above is the famous Lansdown Crescent and Somerset Place and below, Bath’s only residential Georgian square, St James Square. Here you shall find several individual shops including a café, a chemist, newsagent, hairdressers, and greengrocers. Two local pubs, St James Wine Vaults, and gastro pub The Marlborough Tavern are just down the road. To have this many local amenities but still within walking distance to the city centre is why this is such a desirable address.
