Studio for sale in Bath BA1, 0 Bedroom

This attractive and low-maintenance studio apartment combines modern functionality with period features, and would be ideal for a first-time buyer, investor, or working professional seeking a straightforward base in Bath.

Built by John Eveleigh in the 1790’s, Grosvenor Place is a collection of handsome Georgian buildings – the majority of which have been converted into desirable period apartments.

This particular apartment is located on the second floor, and is accessed via a spacious, well-kept communal entry-hall and staircase. Despite being a studio, the apartment feels light and bright, especially in the living room/bedroom. This is due to tall sash windows, high ceilings, and a neutral décor. There is an eye-catching feature fireplace, attractive views out towards Kensington meadows, and a practical mezzanine area with space for a double mattress above, and dressing/storage area below.

The kitchen makes good use of the space, and is modern and practical. It has been fitted with branded, integrated white-goods, including a washer/drier, dishwasher, electric oven, and electric hobs. There is also room for a breakfast bar by the window, which overlooks the gardens of Grosvenor Place.

Further storage can be found in the hallway of the apartment, including a fully boarded, built-in cupboard. The bathroom is an excellent size for a studio, and includes a bath with over-head shower. Those with a penchant for modern conveniences will be delighted to know that the apartment has been fitted with a Nest thermostat, helping owners to save energy, and control their heating remotely.
