Johnstone on the Weir - Georgian gem overlooking Pulteney Weir

Summary
Stunning apartment with outstanding views Open plan living, dining and kitchen area with 2 large original sash windows with working shutters Glamorous bedroom with 6' double bed with french door to a balcony that overlooks Pulteney Weir and the Beazer Maze Only a few minutes walk to the Abbey and the attractions of Bath Suitable for children 8 years and over




Johnstone Street is part of the architect Thomas Baldwin's grand late 18th century designs for the Bathwick extension to the city. It is named after William Johnstone who, in 1767 became Sir William Pulteney - reputedly the wealthiest man in Great Britain - and the landowner who created the world famous architectural heritage of the Pulteney Estate.



The apartment has all the lovely historic detail for which Bath is renowned worldwide. There are high ceilings with elaborate decorative cornicing, light pouring from immense sash windows, a grand original decorative marble fireplace, sparkling chandeliers and to the front, views of an elegant Bath stone terrace with the distant vista of wooded hills. To the rear is a peaceful sunny balcony with an extending awning for rain or shine. This balcony is perfect for alfresco drinks or morning coffee while you take in the breath-taking view of the weir.



Boldy decorated with verve in rich deep with paler greys contrasted with flashes of crimson and gold, the apartment blends striking historical detail with contemporary living. The open plan living, dining and kitchen area is framed by two huge arched sash windows, complete with working shutters. Between these is an elegant dining table to seat 4. There are 2 white sofas also seating 4 and a freeview TV on a sideboard containing books and games. The glossy grey fitted kitchen has a quartz stone worktop and includes an induction hob, an oven, a small dishwasher and fridge with freezer compartment. A large traditional alcove cupboard contains a microwave, crockery, cutlery, glassware and a good range of cooking equipment along with recycling crates.



The glamorous bedroom has a sumptuous 6' double bed and impressive floor to ceiling windows with gracious French doors leading onto a stylish balcony overlooking Beazer Maze (a petite labyrinth), Pulteney Weir, and the city glimpsed through the trees. There is a large antique wardrobe with drawers and a dressing table with chair. Flanking the majestic fireplace with its plaster bust of Apollo are two delightful mustard coloured art deco chairs with side tables and lamps. Listening to the murmur of the river Avon, it's hard to believe that you are at the centre of a bustling city and only around the corner from Baths' historic sites, shops, bars and restaurants.



The smartly tiled contemporary bathroom continues the blend of historic and contemporary style. There is a large walk-in shower and a hand-basin mounted on a smart cabinet with storage. Above is an opulent Georgian mirror with a mythical carved ‘Ho-ho' bird. Next is the WC with a deep shelf space for additional toiletries. A separate cupboard within the bathroom has a small washing machine and shelf space for laundry, whilst an alcove cupboard in the entrance lobby contains further utility items.

The property is a 10 minute level walk to the Bath Spa train and coach stations.

Beautiful Johnstone on the Weir!
We absolutely loved our stay in this gorgeous, comfortable apartment! It was the first visit to Bath for us, and we loved being close to everything, but also having a quiet, peaceful retreat at the end of the day.

Idyllic
Beautiful property just a short walk to the centre of town and all the amenities. Waking up to the sound of the weir every morning during the good weather was fab. Hope to stay again, maybe in December for the Christmas Market.

Great location
Initially a problem getting into the flat as 2 keypads and 2 ground floor flats but once we sorted that we were pleased with the apartment. Loved the large windows and shutters. Great views of the weir and a very central location.

This was a gem of an apartment, in a great location... close to everything; restaurants, shopping and wonderful sites. The apartment was tastefully decorated and the bed was very comfortable which is very important to weary travelers. My first time in Bath and I would definitely stay here again.

Johnstone on the Weir
It is a spacious beautifully located apartment in one of those wonderful Bath terraces. Bed and sofas were comfortable. Our only criticism, which could be corrected for a minimal amount of money would be need of (i) Proper coat-hangers to hang clothes including trousers, bedside lamps that work, and a few more plates, bowls and glasses so you don't have to wash them every time. But still a great stay. Ian & Rosemary Tannock

Bath central
Loved the location of the flat. Close to Pulteney Bridge and old town centre and the Roman bath which was extensive and well presented. We would have appreciated a little more help with parking, i.e. a parking pass, other than that our stay was excellent!

Great stay with easy access to Bath
This comfortable apartment is spacious and tastefully decorated in a way that you can almost imagine you're in another period. It's on a quiet street but once you leave the block you are at the edge of town where you can wander and shop. The balcony out the back overlooking the labyrinth with the sound of the nearby weir is relaxing after a day of exploring and the kitchen is well stocked with everything you might need for a few days. The check-in process is easy and the staff at BHR was helpful but be aware that they no longer have parking available if it's still showing in the listing which kind of threw us since we had a car and expected a spot. However, you can double park out front to unload and there is a car park a short distance away. It was a great stay for us in a beautiful city!
