Renovation work now completed
The renovation of a grade I-listed building in the centre of Bath has been completed by city-based developer Longacre. Work to convert Fitzroy House on Great Pulteney Street into 28 apartments started in spring 2017, and 19 apartments have been sold. The refurbishment of the former sheltered housing complex included the removal of modern alterations such as suspended ceilings, doors, internal partitions and corridors along with the reinstatement of some of the building’s historic characteristics including stone floors, front doors, steps to the basement and decorative cornicing. Mark Tyrrell, Longacre co-owner, said “Work began on transforming Fitzroy House just over a year ago and we are delighted with the progress that has been made. “We take pride in our work and have been involved with a number of projects in Bath, which have taken redundant listed buildings and sympathetically renovated and restored them creating elegant and stylish housing. “We are pleased to welcome the new homeowners at Fitzroy House, which now sits proudly on one of Bath’s most famous streets.” Apartments on the lower levels have gardens or courtyard space, with apartments on higher levels having access to communal gardens. There is lift access to the majority of flats and on site car parking for selected apartments. Longacre has extensive experience in converting Bath’s listed buildings including the renovation of a redundant grade I-listed building in the city centre at One Bilbury Lane. The project created six luxury apartments and a bespoke penthouse apartment.
