6 Royal Crescent is an elegant Grade I listed townhouse positioned within this iconic crescent, enjoying all the architectural distinction and historical importance for which the address is famed. Situated on one of Bath’s most desirable residential streets, the property forms part of this internationally admired terrace and offers refined accommodation within a building of outstanding heritage significance, amounting to approximately 6,736 sq ft in total.
The house is arranged over five principal floors plus vaults, typical of a grand Georgian crescent residence, and showcases the generous proportions and classical symmetry synonymous with the period. Throughout, original architectural features are complemented by thoughtful presentation, ensuring the historic character of the property is preserved while meeting the expectations of modern living.
The ground floor provides an impressive sense of arrival, with a central entrance hall leading to two generous reception rooms comprising a formal sitting room to the front and a dining room to the rear. A well appointed kitchen sits beyond, adjoining a light filled orangery with direct access to the rear garden, supported by a pantry and cloakroom.
The celebrated first floor piano nobile is arranged around a magnificent full width drawing room with exceptional ceiling height and attractive views over the Crescent lawns. To the rear, the principal bedroom occupies the remainder of this floor, benefitting from an adjacent bathroom.
The second floor provides two further substantial bedrooms, including a principal bedroom suite with en suite bathroom, alongside additional bathroom facilities. The third floor offers four further bedrooms and bathrooms, making this an exceptionally versatile family house or one well suited to hosting guests.
The lower ground floor adds significant lifestyle and ancillary space, including a cinema room, snooker room, boot room, utility area, WC and additional storage. From here, the vaults extend beneath the pavement and provide further useful accommodation or storage, with one vault accessed independently.
Rooms throughout are well balanced and filled with natural light, with principal reception spaces benefiting from impressive ceiling heights, sash windows and refined decorative detailing. Circulation through the house is arranged around a central staircase, creating a sense of scale and formality on arrival, while the upper floors provide flexible accommodation equally suited to bedrooms, studies or private sitting rooms.
Garden and Garaging
6 Royal Crescent enjoys access to the communal lawn to the front, one of the most recognisable green spaces in the country, providing an extraordinary outlook and a sense of openness rarely found in a city centre setting. To the rear, the property benefits from the privacy typical of Crescent houses, with a beautifully kept courtyard garden perfect for al fresco dining and entertaining. A garage is located to the rear of the property, via separate access from Upper Church Street.
