Beckett Apartment

About this property

Beckett Apartment is a contemporary and stylish duplex occupying the top two floors of a Grade II listed house, nestled in the heart of Bath's historic Georgian terrace on the charming and cobbled Old Orchard Street. Owned and decorated by an international superyacht designer, the apartment boasts a high-end interior with an abundance of natural light streaming through traditional sash windows.

The entrance to the apartment opens onto a quiet backwater in the bustling city, offering a serene retreat that captures the essence of Bath's beautiful architecture and rich history. The surprising feature of a communal courtyard garden, once an orchard tended by the Abbey's Benedictine brethren, provides a peaceful reminder of the past.

Ascending to the second floor, guests are greeted by an open-plan kitchen, dining, and living area that exudes elegance and functionality. Tall sash windows illuminate the polished white marble island and dining space, complemented by cosy cushioned window seats for leisurely reading. The galley-style kitchen is equipped with top-of-the-line appliances and sleek Walter Knoll Lox bar stools, inviting guests to cook and dine in style.

The living room, adjacent to the kitchen, overlooks the courtyard garden, offering a tranquil oasis after a day of exploring Bath's vibrant streets. A plush corner sofa and cowhide chairs create a welcoming space to relax, unwind, and enjoy entertainment on the wide-screen TV.

Retreating to the third floor, guests will find two beautifully appointed double bedrooms, each designed with comfort and luxury in mind. The master bedroom features a double bed adorned with sumptuous pillows and rich velvet cushions, while the second bedroom offers a comfortable king-size bed. 

Between the bedrooms lies the spacious bathroom, decorated in soothing shades of grey and white. A standalone bath beneath the window offers a secluded spot to unwind and observe the world passing by, while a separate glass-encased shower provides convenience and style.

Beyond the apartment's elegant interiors, the location is a true highlight, with easy access to Bath's main attractions, shops, cafes, bars, and lively nightlife. Bath's rich cultural scene, including festivals, art, literature, music, and theatre, provides endless entertainment opportunities for families and groups. The city's iconic landmarks, such as The Roman Baths, Victoria Art Gallery, Bath Abbey, and the Thermae Spa, are just a short stroll away, inviting guests to immerse themselves in Bath's captivating history.

Beckett Apartment offers a captivating blend of modern elegance, historical charm, and convenient city living, making it an excellent choice for families and groups seeking a sophisticated and memorable stay in Bath.

Beckett Apartment boasts a prime location on Old Orchard Street, a quiet and picturesque backstreet tucked away in the heart of Bath's bustling city centre. This charming, cobbled street is steeped in history, and its classic Georgian architecture adds to the allure of the area. Nestled within a Grade II listed house on this historic street, Beckett Apartment offers a unique and quintessentially Bath experience.

Despite its central location, Old Orchard Street exudes a peaceful ambience, providing a serene retreat for guests to unwind after exploring the vibrant city. The unexpected surprise of a large communal courtyard garden behind the property adds to the tranquillity of the setting. This hidden gem was once a thriving orchard tended by Abbey Benedictine's brethren before its dissolution in 1539, leaving behind a reminder of the area's rich heritage.

Beckett Apartment sits atop the house, occupying the top two floors, and offers impressive views of the surrounding area, including glimpses of the majestic Abbey's spires. Accessible via the main staircase, the apartment has its own front door, providing a sense of privacy and exclusivity.
