Modern & Stylish 2 Bedroom Loft Apartment

Entire rental unit in Bath and North East Somerset, United Kingdom

4 guests · 2 bedrooms · 2 beds · 1 bathroom
Orchard House is a contemporary designed apartment occupying the top 2 floors of a Grade II house in a centrally located classic Georgian terrace on a cobbled Bridgerton street. Previously owned and decorated by an international superyacht designer, the space maximises light from the traditional sash windows, creating a high style 2-bed duplex. The living room is great for relaxing and the open plan kitchen with dining area is perfect for entertaining.
The space
Old Orchard Street is a quiet backwater in the busy city, yet is quintessentially Bath – beautiful architecture, rich in history and some hidden secrets. The unexpectedly large communal courtyard garden behind the property is a reminder that here was once an orchard tended by the Abbey’s Benedictine brethren before being dissolved in 1539. The apartment sits high above with a large open plan kitchen, dining and living area on the 2nd floor and two double bedrooms and a bathroom on the 3rd floor from which there are views to the Abbey’s spires.

The apartment is accessed from the ground floor doorway via the main staircase to its own front door. A small hallway opens into the kitchen where tall sash windows let light flood across the polished white marble island and open plan dining space beyond. Comfy cushioned window seats welcome those who would rather read a recipe than attempt one. Under the island unit are three Walter Knoll Lox bar stools, with three hat lights overhead by British designer, Jake Phipps. The galley-style kitchen incorporates an induction hob with oven below, an integrated under counter fridge with freezer compartment and a dishwasher. There’s a boiling water tap for that quick cuppa or cafetiere coffee whilst the cupboards and drawers house all the pans, crockery and cutlery you’d need for dinner à deux at the dining table.

The living room links through from the kitchen and overlooks the rear courtyard garden below, similarly offering an oasis after a day on Bath’s busy streets. The sumptuous corner sofa gives ample sprawling space to the over-shopped, its plump cushions and faux fur throw positively encourage putting your feet up, kicking back to watch Prime and the usual channels on the wide-screen TV. A mid-morning latte sits on the faux shagreen Katia coffee table by Andrew Martin, or is it an espresso martini you’d prefer, sat in one of the cowhide chairs?

When it’s time to hit the hay, it’s up a flight of stairs, passing the Andrew Martin cubist sideboard on the half landing. The master double bed boasts puffy pillows and a pair of rich velvet cushions by The Tao of Cinderella - a former textile designer to Westwood and McQueen. This inspired the choice of Juno chairs by Andrew Martin, their sculptural silhouette glows in a delicious burnt orange. The second bedroom is also equipped with a comfortable king size bed. There’s premium quality 220 thread count Egyptian cotton bedding throughout.

Between the bedrooms is the capacious bathroom, decorated in cool, calm greys and white. A standalone bath sits below the window where you can lie out in total privacy, watching the day go by. There is also a large separate glass-encased shower.

We had a wonderful stay in Bath. The location was perfect…so close to the most popular spots to visit. Happened to be there during the Jane Austin Festival which added to the experience. Beds were comfy and the furnishings were thoughtfully curated. We had a car and found ample parking in the Southgate lot just a few minutes walk away. Lovely meal at Oak Restaurant, great Thai food at Thai Balcony and of course fresh hot pastel de nata with our morning coffee. Bath is such a magical city, beauty at every turn and lovely squares with majestic trees. Gracious and welcoming service wherever we went.

Location was even better than we expected. Close to all things Bath. Just a few minutes walk to literally everything. Very quiet area especially for the proximity to shops and restaurants. All things were just as appeared in the listing and we were able to drop off our luggage early on the day of check in. Great communication throughout our visit.

We visited Bath on a girls getaway weekend. The apartment is perfectly placed for walking to any of the local attractions. We used the Manvers car park for the duration of our stay, which although small, was perfectly located close to the apartment. The apartment itself was clean, and accessed via a few flights of stairs. Other than possibly needing a little tidy up on some of the paintwork (chips on doors etc.) the apartment was stunning. It's definitely a contemporary feel with some quirky choices of art. We spent most of our time in the kitchen/dining area, which was lovely. Would highly recommend staying here on your visit to Bath.
