This newly renovated three-bedroom top-floor apartment sits on Northgate Street, steps from shopping and Bath’s historic core. Neutral contemporary finishes, exposed brick and wooden floors create a polished city-pad that rents well to short-stay visitors and long-term tenants alike.
The apartment benefits from clear selling points: direct views of Bath Abbey, a spacious kitchen/diner, and holiday-let permission, making it attractive for investors seeking strong seasonal income. The layout is practical for multiple occupants or a mix of guests and longer-term residents, and the long lease (143 years) reduces near-term lease concerns.
Buyers should note material constraints: the building is Grade II listed, which can limit alterations and may complicate maintenance. Broadband speeds are very slow, and recorded local crime levels are very high; both could affect lettings and day-to-day comfort. Service charge and council tax are modest, but additional leasehold administration fees may apply.
Overall this is a location-led opportunity: a character-filled, ready-to-rent apartment in the heart of Bath with Abbey views and holiday-let income potential, best suited to buyers comfortable with listed-building rules and improving connectivity/security as required.
