This spacious, chain-free two-bedroom apartment in Bath’s Southgate development offers straightforward city-centre rental appeal. At 745 sq ft the flat is one of the larger two-bed layouts in the block, with an open-plan living/dining area, good built-in storage and a master en suite — practical features that appeal to longer-term tenants and short-term rental demand alike.
Located a short walk from Bath Spa railway station and surrounded by shops, restaurants and university facilities, the property benefits from strong transport links and consistent tenant demand. The 2012 build, double glazing and gas central heating offer modern efficiency and relatively low maintenance for the foreseeable future.
Buyers should note this is a leasehold flat with around 112 years remaining, an annual service charge of approximately £2,700 and a ground rent of £250 per year. The wider local area is a cosmopolitan, student-focused neighbourhood and the recorded crime level is very high — factors that can affect management costs, tenant screening and insurance premiums.
Overall this is a practical city-centre investment or pied-à-terre: solid rental income potential and easy access to Bath’s amenities, balanced against ongoing service charges, leasehold tenure and the realities of a busy, student-orientated area.
