Description
This is a very beautiful two bedroom apartment situated on the ground floor within a Grade I listed Georgian townhouse on the much sought after Great Pulteney Street, leading from Sydney Gardens and the Holburne Museum to the city centre. The owner has recently managed a full programme of works to the property to include rewiring, replumbing, a new boiler, as well as a new kitchen, bathroom and complete redecoration.
The communal entrance has recently been refurbished and re-carpeted and offers a clean and light corridor to the apartment. There is a long entrance hall, to the right of which is the fine drawing room with two large sash windows overlooking the beautiful Great Pulteney Street. The room is filled with period features including high ceilings, cornicing and a period fireplace.
The kitchen is situated at the rear of property, recently refurbished with Bosch appliances, granite worktops and ample storage including a floor to ceiling pantry. It overlooks the gardens of the neighbouring properties behind. The newly fitted bathroom is at the front of the building. The main bedroom is a large, light room with high ceilings and another period fireplace, again having views over the gardens to the rear.
The second bedroom is situated on the upper floor, accessed via an internal staircase off the hall, giving the apartment the feel of a typical house layout. There is plenty of storage throughout the apartment and a wealth of period features. The apartment benefits from residents parking.

Situation
Great Pulteney Street was built in 1789 and is one of the best addresses in Bath. It is crowned at both ends, to the East by the Holburne Art Museum and to the West by the Robert Adam designed Pulteney Bridge and the picturesque fountain of Laura Place. This street is a historic place to live, having been home to William Wilberforce, among others.
A short, level walk from the building leads to the eclectic collection of shops and restaurants that the city has to offer, as well as a nearby Waitrose supermarket. Behind Great Pulteney Street is Bath Recreation Ground, home to Bath Rugby, whilst the picturesque canal path leading to Bradford on Avon is 300m away, just behind the Holburne Museum.
Bath is a UK world heritage city famous for its Roman origins and Georgian architecture and its cosmopolitan lifestyle with good communications. It is served by a mainline railway service providing easy access to London and Bristol. The M4 motorway is accessed at junction 18 approximately 10 miles to the north.

The next steps...

Before making an offer on a property you will want to consider your financial situation, your income and outgoings.

Will you finance the purchase of your next property from the sale of an existing property which can put you in a chain, arrange a mortgage through your bank or buy the property outright.

To help you finance your next property purchase, we have a long established relationship with an independent mortgage broker who can discuss your situation with you.

Remember that having a 'mortgage decision in principle' can make you a more attractive buyer when you make an offer on a property. Contact our mortgage advisers for free, no obligation and impartial advice.

Some advantages of a broker are:

  • They do all the legwork for you, working on your behalf with the lender
  • They compare wholesale mortgage rates from a large number of banks and lenders all at once
  • Their wholesale interest rates can be lower than retail (bank branch) interest rates
  • They offer more loan options because they work with numerous banks and lenders
  • They can finance tricky deals because of their knowledge and various lending partners
  • They are typically easier to get in contact with, and are less bureaucratic.

However advantages of working with your bank are:

  • You may be able to build off an existing relationship (and gain discounts if you have a checking or savings account)
  • You may already know the banker who will handle your mortgage
  • Banks may be more accountable than a smaller shop
  • They may offer lower interest rates in some cases
  • Their ability to add mortgage to existing banking profile and make automatic payments from linked account.

If other offers have been made on a property we aren't legally able to tell you what they are, but we may indicate if they were close to the asking price.

If you have a property to sell, why not see how we can help you.
