Redland Road, Cotham

A two-bedroom apartment occupying the top floor of a mid-19th century Bath stone Victorian villa in Cotham.

Built in the classical style characteristic of the period, the building retains its original proportions and detailing, and the apartment mirrors this with many period features maintained or restored.

The flat has been newly refurbished with a considered approach to materiality and historic detail.

The interior has been finished to create a unified and calm atmosphere, balancing the building’s original character with modern style.

A restrained palette runs consistently throughout: walls, ceilings and joinery are painted in a single tone, natural sisal carpets soften the circulation and bedroom spaces, and reproduction four-panel oak doors echo the proportions of the period fabric.

Entry to the flat is gained via its private entrance on the first floor. A staircase with its original balustrade leads up to a generous central hall, with all rooms opening from this space.

The kitchen connects to the living room and is arranged around solid oak flooring and full-stave oak worktops, paired with contrasting charcoal base cabinetry and bespoke oak tower units. Integrated appliances comprise a fridge/freezer, induction hob, oven with grill, dishwasher and washer/dryer. A tall utility cupboard has also been designed with sockets for an ironing board and vacuum charge station. A dining area is placed in front of the window, overlooking the church opposite.

The living room also looks onto the church through a sash window, with a fireplace centred on the wall, finished with a honed slate hearth. Two double bedrooms are arranged across the hallway, each benefiting from plenty of space, elevated views and a calm aesthetic.

The bathroom is naturally lit by a large sash window facing the mature tree in the front garden. Terracotta fireclay tiles add warmth to the interior, set against a walk-in shower, wall-hung WC, inset mirror and a vanity basin with drawer storage. Chrome fittings and a heated towel rail complete the aesthetic.

Externally, the property is set back from the street behind a deep frontage with hedgerow, lawn and mature tree. The front garden is communal, and the residents benefit from off-street parking, offered on a 'first-come, first-serve' basis.

The apartment sits in the heart of Cotham, close to Cotham Gardens and Redland Station, both a short walk away, while nearby Whiteladies Road and Gloucester Road offer independent cafés, restaurants and shops.
