Modern first-floor flat boasts ‘tranquil’ living space – but there’s a big catch upstairs

THIS modern first-floor flat is perfect for stylish living – but potential buyers could face some issues when they get upstairs.

The stylish ‘two-bed’ is on the market for £260,000 in Bath, Somerset, and is just 0.2 miles from the city centre.

It is on the first floor of a Grade II Listed townhouse and comes complete with an open plan living and dining area, spacious kitchen and double bedroom.

As an added extra, a converted loft space boasts a “bonus mezzanine area”.

The space is not big enough to stand up in but you can squeeze in a mattress without a bed frame.

Potential buyers could also fit a mirror and TV at floor level to cope with the low ceiling.

Calling the half-height bonus room a “mezzanine” may be a bit of a stretch.

A mezzanine is typically a small extra floor between two other floors.

This room, however, appears to be above the bathroom and hallway and can be accessed through a ladder in the kitchen.

Elsewhere, the apartment, advertised on Rightmove, has a grand living room, separate kitchen and an entrance hall.

It contains high windows, a spacious kitchen, an original fireplace and chandeliers.

There is also a smart shower room with a vanity sink and levitating toilet.

Rightmove said: “This beautifully presented apartment is situated on the first floor of a grade II listed townhouse in central Bath.

“The home retains much of its period charm with high ceilings, period cornicing, tall sash windows with seating and fireplace.

“As an extra bonus there is also a mezzanine area.”
