Always viewed as a great opportunity to start afresh, the New Year often encourages those considering to move home the chance to reflect on what they want in life and perhaps where they might want to live.

In Bath, the relatively small city centre when compared to its West Country neighbour of Bristol, presents those looking for more of a doorstep lifestyle the perfect opportunity to move somewhere where they can fully enjoy the eclectic mix of cafes, restaurants, shops, historic buildings and outdoor spaces.

From almost anywhere in the city, after a few minutes’ walk, residents find themselves amongst the wide variety of attractions that has made the world heritage city one of the most popular places to live in the UK.

This is especially true from what has become the most talked about new building the city has seen in a generation.

So whether you’re a young professional couple, mid-life downsizers looking for a change in direction or empty nesters, the luxurious selection of two-bedroom apartments currently for sale at Royal View are the ideal base to enjoy everything Bath, and the surrounding area, has to offer.

Both the Upper and Lower Bristol Roads are super close and the car-free level pedestrian tow path is a great, hassle-free way to get into the centre. The wide mix of cafes, fine dining as well as host of mid-range eateries, artisan shops, boutiques and entertainment venues, means there’s always something to do.

Surrounded by the beautiful Somerset countryside, those who enjoy getting out and about can make the most of the famous bath Skyline walk and the six miles of footpaths that’s managed by the National Trust.

While those who enjoy cycling can get to Bristol or follow the River Avon and Kennet & Avon canal out towards Bradford-on-Avon and beyond using the designated cycle paths.

Having taken the Bath property scene by storm, the Royal View sales team at Bath Riverside are now expecting the final 10 or so two-bedroom apartments to be snapped up by those keen for a change in lifestyle in the New Year.

The aesthetics of Royal View has pulled in many admirers, particularly its curved design and stunning central atrium which includes columns of greenery that stretch from the ground floor all the way up to the glass ceiling on the eighth.

And being completely brand new and built to today’s stringent regulations means it helps tremendously in terms of running costs - which are significantly lower when compared to some of Bath’s more historic and older properties.

Danielle Simpson, newly appointed Sales Manager for Bath Riverside said: “The convenience of having everything right on the doorstep cannot be understated and anyone wanting to kick start 2018 with new horizons should take time to look around.

“To visit also presents that last real chance to see inside Royal View and in particular the beautiful atrium which has just wowed all those who have seen it.

“We’re here to help. If someone is serious about buying then we can always look at options which will make the move not only a reality but as hassle free as possible.”
