Sydney Place, Bath, BA2 6NE

Something rather exceptional has taken root on Sydney Place.

In 1817, King William IV called 103 Sydney Place home. We can only assume he appreciated a ridiculous number of vaults. Over two centuries later, this extraordinary lower ground floor apartment has been completely and comprehensively renovated - from the bespoke Coxley kitchen right down to the reclaimed Victorian fireplace - and the result is, frankly, one of the finest Grade I listed apartments in Bathwick.

Set within one of Bathwick's most handsome Georgian terraces, the apartment spans a genuinely staggering 3,056 sq. ft in total across 1,614 sq. ft of living space and a further 1,442 sq. ft of vaulted storage below. For those curious, that is larger than most houses.

The accommodation is both gracious and generously proportioned. A magnificent living room provides the kind of space that is perfect for hosting your stately banquets. The kitchen has been made entirely bespoke by Coxley Kitchens in Wells, finished with a Quartz worktop from Hobbs in Midsomer Norton.

A generous pantry, separate study, and two double bedrooms complete the principal living areas, while three private courtyards offer outdoor space tripled, because apparently one wasn't enough. The wine store deserves a mention all of its own. The Georgians understood priorities, and with this wine store keeping to your strict diet regime is going to be that much harder, but, crucially, you'll have plenty of space for wine to drown your sorrows.

Adjacent to the flat, and carefully hidden by secret doors, five substantial vaults provide storage of a scale that is difficult to comprehend without having seen the space in person. Whether you need it for wine, furniture, bicycles, Christmas decorations, jellied eels, or the collected self-doubt of an entire decade - the vaults will serve their purpose.

The specification leaves absolutely nothing to chance. Pooky lighting and switches throughout. Farrow & Ball paint, floor to ceiling. Handmade ceiling roses by Bath Plasterworks. Georgian butt-and-bead wood panelling, custom made in Glastonbury. A reclaimed fireplace with history of its own - originally from another house in Sydney Buildings itself. Burlington bathroom fittings. Brand new electrics, heating, and plumbing from top to bottom. Radiators from House of Radiators in Bath, each carrying a ten-year guarantee (the radiators will almost certainly outlast that commitment you have to cut down on drinking). Wired internet in every room. New lead roofs with mop detailing - even the bits you'll never see have been done properly, and completed with great care.

The tenure is a 125-year lease, with the building's leaseholders currently in the process of acquiring the freehold - meaning share of freehold will follow in due course, alongside a 999-year lease. Service charge is £1,700 per annum with no ground rent.

In short: this is Bath at its absolute finest, renovated by people who cared deeply and spent accordingly. The apartment, as we like to say, is ripe for growth, and ready to be made into a home.
