Location:

Bath, Somerset

Description:

Found on a pretty pedestrian street in Bath, lined with thriving independent shops, is this spectacular Grade-II listed building, comprising a shop, a three-bedroom home and a separate two-bedroom mews house, unfolding over 4,700 sq ft. The commercial space is currently the residence of the locally loved interiors studio Berdoulat, set in the Georgian part of Margaret's Buildings, built in 1768 and designed by John Wood the Elder. Former stables behind, built in the 1840s, have been converted into a three-bedroom home, and beyond that, a converted pub constructed c.1800 is now a separate two-bedroom house. With an incredible history and a plethora of original details, the building underwent extensive restoration by Berdoulat, who honoured it through the exhaustive work they carried out, based on in-depth research into its rich history. Setting the Scene The year 1890 saw the uniting of the three separate buildings. The work to connect them was overseen by three eccentric Victorians (a restaurateur, a high-end grocer and a wine merchant), who had joined forces to create Cater, Stoffell and Fortt, a firm that became known as 'The Fortnums of the West'. No expense was spared when fitting out their flagship store, which became the home of the famous Bath Oliver Biscuit, and where foie gras and Bolinger were sold to high society living in the grand neighbouring houses of the Royal Crescent and Circus. When they merged the three buildings, they also removed ceilings and walls in what is now the main retail space to create the galleried double-height open-plan space, filled with incredible mahogany, marble and mirror-backed counters with gold-leaf lettering, which are still there today. The commercial space, which is fully licensed (on and off licence), serves as a popular shop, café and events space. There is also a pavement license in place, enabling the use of the area outside for seating. This is not the. Still available at ListedBuy!
