The house has just been superbly renovated to exacting standards, and as such provides purchasers with the opportunity of buying a completely refurbished home. The overall sense of light, space and design is seldom seen in Bath. The period features are extensive and include original Georgian cornicing with lower friezes, sash windows and marble fireplaces.

The kitchen is breathtaking, having been opened into the original vaults to the front, with three large remote controlled roof lights which flood the kitchen with light, and the warmth of an Everhot oven creates a wonderful open plan family area, perfect for entertaining, opening through to the dining room, and then directly onto the enormous terrace and garden. Off the hall on this level is the original wine cellar, and vaults, now a functional utility room, plant room and additional storage area. The ground floor has a welcoming reception hall with original bath stone flooring, leading past a cloakroom and W.C. to a large study. A door leads through to the stair hall and to an open-plan drawing room with a bay window and withdrawing room. Off the living room is a lovely conservatory showing off the incredible views across Bath to the hills in the distance, as far as Wells. This would be an incredible yoga space. The two floors above offer large bedrooms, the main bedroom opening through to a huge en suite bathroom with a large shower cubicle; the views from the bath are the same as the conservatory below, magnificent!

Establish funds
How will you fund the purchase?
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.
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.
