A top-floor one-bedroom apartment set within a Grade II* Georgian townhouse on Brock Street, with south-facing views over Royal Victoria Park. High ceilings, large sash windows and period fireplaces give generous, light-filled rooms and a strong sense of character. The well-proportioned kitchen and living room both face the park, ideal for someone wanting city centre living with a green outlook.
The apartment is sold as leasehold with a very long remainder (share of freehold, circa 954 years), and benefits from good broadband, excellent mobile signal and affordable Council Tax (Band C). Heating is electric with an air-source heat pump and warm air system — efficient where working but electric-fuelled and worth checking for running costs. Use of the front vault is included for cycle/storage.
Important practical points: the building is listed (Grade II*), which preserves historic features but will limit alterations and could complicate maintenance. The stone walls are likely uninsulated and the glazing, while double, has an unknown install date — further energy-efficiency improvements may be restricted. The local area has very high recorded crime levels, which prospective buyers should consider alongside the excellent central location and local amenities.
This apartment suits a first-time buyer or professional wanting a central, characterful home or an investor seeking strong short-term rental appeal near Bath’s major attractions. Viewings will suit anyone who values period detail and park views, and who is comfortable with the realities of listed-building ownership and city-centre living.
