Portland Stone

Portland Stone: Somerset

Although it's been a couple of centuries since the Grade-II listed Georgian building that this apartment sits within was built, the contemporary interior design still retains an air of timeless sophistication that we feel would please the original architects if they were able to see it.

The sleek kitchen surfaces and muted colour palette are instantly soothing and work to emphasise the bountiful amount of natural light that streams in through the tall windows on the far side of the space — which also look out to a beautiful view of the rooftops of Bath. There's a discernible mid-century inspiration when it comes to the furnishings and the sleek bathroom is pretty stylish, too.

When you want to see more of this picturesque city, the centre is a ten-minute walk and offers spas, Regency buildings and an interesting selection of museums. Royal Victoria Park takes the same amount of time to reach on foot.



Home truths:
*There's free parking available on the street
*The host requests that no shoes be worn inside the apartment
*There's no lift in the building, so it might not be suitable for guests with reduced mobility
