Set in the heart of Bath city centre, this one-bedroom apartment offers an attractive combination of period character and practical living space. High ceilings and sash windows admit abundant natural light into the living room, while the separate kitchen with breakfast bar and integrated dishwasher supports comfortable city living. Two large storage cupboards and built-in bedroom storage make the layout genuinely useful for a full-time resident or tenant.
This property is suited to investors or buyers seeking a central city retreat with strong rental appeal and easy access to Bath Spa station. The lease has 89 years remaining and the property is sold as leasehold; prospective purchasers should factor in leasehold costs and possible fees for lease packs. Ground rent is currently modest at £10, and council tax is described as cheap.
Buyers should note some material constraints: broadband speeds in the area are reported as very slow, and local crime levels are very high, which could affect long-term rental demand and personal security perceptions. The building is a pre-1900 sandstone/limestone end-terrace with assumed no wall insulation — there may be opportunities (and costs) for thermal upgrades.
Practical positives include mains gas central heating, a combi boiler, laminated flooring for low maintenance and excellent mobile signal. Overall this is a central, characterful apartment with clear investment potential, but buyers should commission surveys, check lease documentation and consider broadband and safety implications before committing.
