Modern & Stylish 2 Bedroom Loft Apartment

Summary:

CURATED PROPERTY PRESENTS: Orchard House is a contemporary designed apartment occupying the top 2 floors of a Grade two house in a centrally located classic Georgian terrace on a cobbled Bridgerton street. Previously owned and decorated by an international superyacht designer, the space maximises light from the traditional sash windows, creating a high style 2-bed duplex. The living room is great for relaxing and the open plan kitchen with dining area is perfect for entertaining.



The Space:

Old Orchard Street is a quiet backwater in the busy city, yet is quintessentially Bath – beautiful architecture, rich in history and some hidden secrets. The unexpectedly large communal courtyard garden behind the property is a reminder that here was once an orchard tended by the Abbey’s Benedictine brethren before being dissolved in 1539. The apartment sits high above with a large open plan kitchen, dining and living area on the 2nd floor and two double bedrooms and a bathroom on the 3rd floor from which there are views to the Abbey’s spires.



The apartment is accessed from the ground floor doorway via the main staircase to its own front door. A small hallway opens into the kitchen where tall sash windows let light flood across the polished white marble island and open plan dining space beyond. Comfy cushioned window seats welcome those who would rather read a recipe than attempt one. Under the island unit are three Walter Knoll Lox bar stools, with three hat lights overhead by British designer, Jake Phipps. The galley-style kitchen incorporates an induction hob with oven below, an integrated under counter fridge with freezer compartment and a dishwasher. There’s a boiling water tap for that quick cuppa or cafetiere coffee whilst the cupboards and drawers house all the pans, crockery and cutlery you’d need for dinner à deux at the dining table.



The living room links through from the kitchen and overlooks the rear courtyard garden below, similarly offering an oasis after a day on Bath’s busy streets. The sumptuous corner sofa gives ample sprawling space to the over-shopped, its plump cushions and faux fur throw positively encourage putting your feet up, kicking back to watch Prime and the usual channels on the wide-screen TV. A mid-morning latte sits on the faux shagreen Katia coffee table by Andrew Martin, or is it an espresso martini you’d prefer, sat in one of the cowhide chairs?



When it’s time to hit the hay, it’s up a flight of stairs, passing the Andrew Martin cubist sideboard on the half landing. The master double bed boasts puffy pillows and a pair of rich velvet cushions by The Tao of Cinderella - a former textile designer to Westwood and McQueen. This inspired the choice of Juno chairs by Andrew Martin, their sculptural silhouette glows in a delicious burnt orange. The second bedroom is also equipped with a comfortable king size bed. There’s premium quality 220 thread count Egyptian cotton bedding throughout.



Between the bedrooms is the capacious bathroom, decorated in cool, calm greys and white. A standalone bath sits below the window where you can lie out in total privacy, watching the day go by. There is also a large separate glass-encased shower.



Guest Access:

Guests have sole access to the entirety of the apartment.



The Neighborhood:

This unique property sits on a street full of history, tucked away from the hustle and bustle, yet moments from everything Bath has to offer, located an easy 5 minutes’ walk from the city’s excellent selection of High Street and independent shops, cafes, bars and the heady night life that has been part of the city’s allure for centuries. Bath also hosts regular festivals, including art, literature, music and theatre as well as being home to Bath Rugby. Popular attractions such as The Roman Baths, Victoria Art Gallery, Bath Abbey and the Thermae Spa are all within a comfortable 5 minute stroll through the streets and alleys of TV’s Bridgerton (of which this street was one), as are the Royal Crescent, the Circus and Pulteney Bridge. An excellent selection of free and paid guided walks, ghost, history and comedy tours, open-top bus and river boat trips are also available.



Getting Around:

Sadly we do not provide parking – if coming by car we recommend parking at Manvers Street car park which is the closest, or Southgate Car park which has electric charging points. There is limited on-street parking available nearby and throughout the city, payable per hour on the MiPermit app. Bath Spa train station, the Coach station, along with most of the city, is within 5 minutes walk from the apartment - a car is not needed if you intend to remain within the city centre. All shops, theatre, museums, restaurants and bars, parks and amenities are within easy walking distance from the house. Uber and local taxis are also available.
