Description
This excellent garden apartment occupies the ground (hall floor), lower ground (garden level) and basement of this unique town house on Marlborough Buildings in the centre of Georgian Bath, close to the Royal Crescent. With green views over the allotments and Royal Victoria Park to the rear and is situated on a highly sought after street close to the Marlborough Tavern and Sion Hill.
Upon entering the entrance hall, you are faced with the splendid Crittal frame windows and door that separates the drawing room from the hallway. The drawing room is light and bright with large sash windows looking out to the gardens beyond. To this floor is the large study with high ceilings and period features giving you also an optional fourth bedroom or home office. The bookshelf that sits between these two rooms is in fact a rather fun secret door to the stair that leads up to the mezzanine level. This mezzanine does have restricted head height, but could be a relaxing reading nook or just a great storage space. The room looks down onto the drawing room from an intricate carved wood balcony. A turned wood stair takes you down to the garden floor.
The kitchen/dining room is a large space with high ceilings and a modern kitchen cleverly built into the old range fireplaces that would have existed there.
There is a walk-in pantry with food storage shelves built in. There are two further cupboards that can house extra refrigeration should one wish. There is a WC in the utility space where access to the front courtyard and steps up to the pavement lie. Two vaults sit to the front and make excellent storage. The principal bedroom sits to the rear and looks directly out onto the garden, it is a lovely room filled with light and has an ensuite shower room. Adjacent is the dressing room which doubles as a boot room, with space for a dog/cat bed and a seat for putting on your outdoor gear. There is ample wardrobe and cupboard space with built in basket storge and a Belfast sink.
The lower floor sits below garden level and houses two big double bedrooms and a newly fitted bathroom with separate shower.
The rear garden is glorious and has a sunny west facing aspect. There is a patio with space for entertaining. A waterfall water feature leads up to beautifully planted beds and a central path that leads through a wild rose laden arch. There is a wrought iron gate at the end of the walled garden taking you out to the allotments behind. The owners have an allotment here that (through BANES) may be able to be passed on to the new owners should it be desired.

The next steps...

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.

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.
