the original cornicing, shutters and marble fireplace. The latter is fitted with a remote- controlled gas effect fire: warmth and cheer on tap, with minimal effort involved. Across an inner hallway lies the equally


striking dining room; obviously the new owners may wish to put their own mark on the apartment’s colourways, but it’s hard to imagine a happier scheme than the current medley of taupes, plums and creams. The modern kitchen makes the perfect


counterpoint to all this period splendour; Siemens appliances are discreetly hidden behind white, high-gloss units (look, no handles!), and there’s ample room for a table and chairs in this sunny spot. If you head upstairs you’ll come to the lavish first-floor master bedroom suite, which includes

a study/dressing room and shower room; a second bedroom has use of a beautiful family bathroom, with a solid granite hand basin. In this most versatile of homes, the garden


level currently provides a third, luxurious bedroom with views over the courtyard; there’s a shower room, laundry and a self-contained flat with its own entrance to the street. Not swayed already? Bit of a movie buff? Wait


until you see the basement, with its fabulous cinema room; view the latest blockbusters without being annoyed by Bath’s popcorn- throwing teenagers (apart from your own). At the back, a walled, terraced garden is laid


with York flagstones with flower borders and a private, trellised area; access to a double garage has to be the icing on the cake in this part of Bath where parking is at a premium. BL


(Clockwise from top left) Marlborough Buildings has an advantage over the Royal Crescent – the former has views of the latter; a perfect mix of quirkiness and period detail in the dining room; the distinctive granite sink in the family bathroom; the master bedroom (Opposite page) The only way to watch Bond is on the BIG screen; a lovely treatment for a classic Bath drawing room
