This compact top-floor apartment places you in the heart of Bath with 532 sqft of well-proportioned living. The large sitting room, rear-facing double bedroom and a modern kitchen and bathroom make it an easy-to-manage city pad or bolt-hole for professionals and students who value location and character.
Set within a Georgian terrace, the flat benefits from period features, high ceilings and an open rear aspect with views toward Beechen Cliff and Bath Quays. Practical positives include a share of freehold, residents’ permit parking and chain-free sale — useful for a quick move or buy-to-let purchase.
Buyers should note material faults plainly: heating is by electric night-storage heaters and the building’s timber frame is assumed to have no insulation, which, together with an EPC rating of E, could mean higher running costs. There is a medium flood risk for the area and local crime levels are reported as very high — factors to consider for insurance, safety measures and long-term value.
Overall this is a bright, characterful central flat with clear upside for someone prioritising location and low-maintenance living. It will particularly suit a first-time buyer, city professional or investor willing to accept electric heating and to budget for energy improvements and safety precautions.
