Bridgerton Beauty

With ‘Bridgerton’ continuing to take Netflix by storm, Abode2 asks David Mackenzie, Partner, Residential Sales for Carter Jonas in Bath, about the ever-lasting popularity of Regency-era properties.

“Regency-style properties are classical architecture at it’s very best. Following on from the Georgian period, the Regency era had gathered a great deal of skill from architects and builders to create beautifully-crafted townhouses that were often given pride of place in the wealthy, growing cities of the time.”

“Every few years a new historical drama is made using Bath as the backdrop, and we always know interest will flood in from all over the globe. Currently, we have seen an interest from buyers in America and Hong Kong who wish to own their own piece of history and luxurious elegance that can uniquely be found in Bath.”

A fabulous example of a luxury property on the market in this popular style is an apartment in Somerset House, Bath.

This stunning lateral apartment within a Grade-II listed Georgian townhouse is perfect for any member of the Bridgerton or Featherington families. It has three spacious bedrooms and is in the prime location of Widcombe, immediately south east of Bath city centre.

Constructed of Bath stone under a slate tiled roof, Somerset House dates back to the late 18^thcentury. The property has a range of fine architectural details that are typical of the Regency era, which gives the home unrivalled elegance and character.

Upon entering, there is a reception hall with original door architraves with authentic decorative corners. The drawing room of the apartment contains a fine, traditional fireplace, and is generous and bright with dual aspect sash windows, providing a beautiful view over Widcombe and Lyncombe Vale.

With international interest and growing popularity, there is no sign of the British Regency architecture going out of fashion any time soon.

The Somerset House apartment is on the market with Carter Jonas for £850,000. For more information visit: https://www.carterjonas.co.uk/flat/for-sale/church-street/bth190083
