Bridgerton house for sale: Entire townhouse in Bath’s Royal Crescent hits the market for £4.5 million
Fans of Netflix period drama Bridgerton might be interested to learn a townhouse in Bath’s Royal Crescent - as seen on screen - has hit the market, but you’ll need a sizable bank account to consider a house move to this property.
The Royal Crescent has gained popularity since it was featured in the hit series - with one scene-setting picture showing messengers bringing Lady Whistledown’s most recent scandal sheet. In series one, episode four, it serves as the location for an exhilarating horseback ride to a duel.

According to property portal Rightmove, the Number 26 unit boasts an “enviable position on the quieter end of the crescent with an impressive aspect and views of the imposing curve”.
It said: “At present, the property is divided into six self-contained flats, but with appropriate planning, presents a fantastic opportunity for renovation and conversion back to a single family home.”
For the time being, the flat at the front is reached via steps to the front leading to a large courtyard space. There are storage vaults accessed from the courtyard and the flat at the rear is accessed via the ground floor hallway and also has access directly to the rear garden.

On the second floor there is a two bedroom flat and on the top floor there is a further two bedroom flat. Each flat has its own bathroom and kitchen with the top floor flat having a separate WC and bathroom.

The house also benefits from access to the privately maintained lawn area to the front of the property which has residents right of use and is separated from the public space via railings and the ha-ha - a ditch providing a barrier to the residents-only lawn.
The property is up for sale with Knight Frank estate agents and is asking for offers in excess of £4.5 million.
