Beaufort East, Bath BA1

Life at Beaufort East

There is something particularly special about the principal floor of a Georgian townhouse. These were the rooms designed for living and receiving, generous in proportion, tall in ceiling height and filled with natural light. This gorgeous apartment occupies exactly that position.

Tall south-easterly sash windows draw daylight deep into the main reception room and kitchen, illuminating the elegant plaster cornicing and the original marble fireplace with its beautifully preserved period grate. As the morning begins, sunlight moves gently across the room and into the kitchen, filling the apartment with warmth.

Coffee in hand, you can watch the gentle rhythm of Larkhall unfold outside; a neighbour walking their dog across the green, a friendly wave exchanged through the window, the quiet calm that lingers before the day fully begins. Inside, the reception room feels elegant, inviting, generous. Its Georgian proportions lend a wonderful sense of space. It is a room equally suited to quiet evenings as it is to welcoming friends.

To the rear of the apartment, the bedroom offers a calm and private retreat. Here again, Georgian character has been carefully preserved with a beautiful original marble fireplace, a reminder of the building’s historic past.

Above the bathroom, a discreet ceiling hatch provides access to a useful attic storage space - valuable additional storage rarely found in apartments of this type.

Life in Larkhall

Living here, you quickly fall into the easy rhythm of village life. The day begins with a short walk down to the high street for coffee at The Village Café & Bar. Fresh bread from the bakery, farm eggs from Larkhall Butchers and locally grown vegetables from the greengrocers are all within easy reach. You might find yourself tempted to pick some seasonal flowers from the gorgeous flower shop on the way home too.

The atmosphere in Larkhall is part of its charm. It's a neighbourhood with a creative spirit and an easy sense of community that makes people feel instantly at home. Evenings are just as enjoyable. A relaxed drink or supper at one of Larkhall’s welcoming pubs, perhaps the Rose & Crown, well known for its excellent food is a favourite local ritual before wandering home through the friendly streets of the neighbourhood.

Weekends often revolve around the lush green spaces of Alice Park, with its café, tennis courts and open lawns, or when the evening calls for a night at the theatre, a performance at the Rondo. And whenever the city calls, Bath’s centre is just an easy, level walk away
