This ground-floor, two-bedroom retirement apartment sits in Minerva Court, a well-located block close to Henrietta Park and Bath city centre. The layout feels spacious thanks to a wide entrance hall and a sitting/dining room with a deep bay window that accommodates dining or seating. Built-in bedroom storage, a fitted kitchen with electric cooker and a shower room make the apartment ready to occupy without major works.
The development offers retirement-focused facilities: residents’ lounge, laundry, communal gardens, guest accommodation and resident parking to the front. The flat is double-glazed and uses electric room heating, and is offered with no onward chain — useful for a swift move. The property is sold as shared ownership (60/40) with an 89-year lease remaining; the annual service charge is £5,332 and includes the rent element for the shared-ownership split.
Important points to note: the building sits in an area with a very high recorded crime level and there is a medium flood risk for the locality. Heating is by individual electric heaters (no gas) and broadband speeds in the area are reported as slow. These factors may affect running costs, comfort and connectivity. The apartment’s maintenance and service charge are above average, which should be weighed against the convenience and communal services provided.
This apartment will suit an over‑55 buyer seeking a central, low‑maintenance home with communal support and visitor facilities. It also offers potential for those looking to downsize while retaining easy access to Bath’s amenities, but buyers should consider the shared‑ownership arrangement, service charge level, and local crime and flood risk when deciding whether to view.
