Set on the top floor of a handsome Grade II listed Georgian building, this newly refurbished one-bedroom apartment delivers rare central Bath living with direct views over Bath Abbey and the cobbled Abbey Green. The recent redecoration and upgraded kitchen and shower room make it immediately habitable, while high ceilings and sash windows retain period character and light.
The property benefits from a very long lease (c.960 years) and a lease variation permitting holiday and short-term lets, creating clear income potential in this UNESCO World Heritage location close to Bath Spa station and major tourist attractions. Chain-free sale speeds up purchase for investors or buyers seeking an easy move-in.
Buyers should note material constraints: the building’s listed status will restrict external and many internal alterations and could complicate maintenance or conversions. Service charges average around £2,600 pa and heating is by electric room heaters — running costs may be higher than gas-heated alternatives. Broadband speeds are very slow, and the immediate area reports very high recorded crime levels, relevant for long-term lettings and insurance.
This compact flat (c.420 sq ft) suits single buyers, short-stay rental operators or investors wanting a central Bath pied-à-terre with immediate rental-ready presentation. The flat is best for buyers who prioritise location, period charm and short-term rental income over scope for major remodelling or low running costs.
