Chain-free two-bedroom Georgian flat moments from Bath Spa with long lease and period character.
Grade I listed Georgian townhouse, first-floor apartment
A characterful, chain-free two-bedroom apartment in the heart of Georgian Bath, set on the first floor of a Grade I listed townhouse. The apartment retains period features such as picture rails, cornicing and sash windows, and enjoys a central location just 0.2 miles from Bath Spa rail station and city amenities.
The accommodation comprises a sitting room with dual sash windows, a separate compact fitted kitchen, two double bedrooms and a bathroom with shower over bath. The layout is practical for first-time buyers or a buy-to-let investor seeking central city rental potential. The long lease (circa 946 years) removes common short-lease complications.
Buyers should note material considerations: the building’s Grade I listing will restrict alterations and may complicate repairs; heating is by electric storage heaters; the service charge is approximately £3,756 per year; there is no private parking or garden. The area records a higher local crime level and the property has a medium flood risk; these factors affect insurance and living costs.
This apartment suits purchasers who prioritise central location and period character over outside space and modern heating. It represents an opportunity to live in or let from a desirable Bath postcode, provided buyers accept listed-building constraints and the building’s operational costs.
