About this property
Nestled in the city of Bath in Somerset is this superb, two-bedroom, Grade II listed former chapel, 1 Countess Chapel. Boasting a fantastic location just a short walk away from the bustling city centre of Bath and a contemporary interior, perfectly blended with historic touches of arched windows and high ceilings, 1 Countess Chapel makes for a unique dwelling for couples or a family of four looking to explore this beautiful area. Be welcomed into the light and airy open-plan living space, where you can look forward to conjuring up delicious feasts, with the help of the electric oven, gas hob, microwave, fridge/freezer, along with a handy dishwasher ensuring a fuss-free clean-up!
Settle down at the dining table for four, as you tuck-in to a flavourful meal over a bottle of wine. If you’re not ready for the evening to end, make your way out to the private, enclosed garden and enjoy your favourite tipple at the lovely bistro table. As the evening cools, retreat inside where you can curl up on the sofa and select a much-loved film from the TV. Wash away the day with a refreshing rinse in the large walk-in shower, as your towel warms on the heated towel rail nearby. As your eyes grow heavy, choose from one of two well-presented bedrooms, a double and a twin, to catch your rest in, each with storage for your belongings.
Take advantage of your excellent location, where you will find a plethora of pubs and restaurants, ideal for those evenings where you fancy a night off from the kitchen, as well as a good selection of well-stocked convenience stores and supermarkets for stocking up on any essentials. Nearby, you will find the fascinating Medieval Bath Abbey, the Museum of Bath at Work, the Fashion Museum and The Jane Austen Centre, where you can delve into the past, the beautiful Victoria Park with sprawling greens where you can savour a homemade picnic or play lawn games or treat your loved ones to an evening out at the Theatre Royal where you can catch a live performance.
A trip to Bath would not be complete without a visit to the historic Roman Baths, where you can explore the former bathhouse and temple which houses a museum and Pump Room restaurant. Just a short walk away, you will find the indulgent Thermae Bath Spa where you can pamper yourself in the thermal waters and soak up the views from the rooftop pool. Be sure to check out the sites of the No.1 Royal Crescent, an 18th-century property housing art displays and the National Trust – Bath Assembly Rooms, featuring an 18th-century ballroom with the Octagon Tea Room. Further afield, you will find the vibrant city of Bristol, home to a fantastic zoo, a maritime museum aboard the Brunel’s SS Great Britain and the 18th- century Clifton Observatory.

The busstop is very close to bring you to Bath center (a very beautiful place). You can park your car not far from the chapel. We plan to come back again in the future. We loved it.

Richard was very helpful. Bottle of bubbles appreciated. I would have appreciated a non slip mat for the shower base.

Not only were we able to get in early ( much appreciated after all night flight) he saved the day after we locked the keys inside ( due to sister miscommunication!). He came over and got them for us. Lovely, comfortable place, kitchen fun to use with everything we needed. Loved seeing the snow on the patio through the sliding glass doors.
