Set on the first floor of a handsome Grade II listed Georgian terrace, this recently renovated two-bedroom apartment balances period character with contemporary comfort. The 2024 refurbishment used eco-friendly materials and quality fitments while retaining original mouldings, high ceilings and large sash windows that flood the principal rooms with light. At about 677 sq ft the layout is traditional and well-proportioned: a generous sitting room, front-facing main bedroom, kitchen with views and a compact second bedroom to the rear.
Practical day-to-day benefits include a communal garden, a nearby refuse and secure cycle store, excellent mobile signal and fast broadband — useful for commuters or home-workers. The property is chain free and comes with a very long lease (974 years), making the purchase straightforward from a tenure perspective. Heating is mains gas via a boiler and radiators; council tax is moderate.
Important considerations: the building’s Grade II listed status will make external and many internal alterations more difficult and may require listed building consent. The building’s stone walls are historic sandstone/limestone with no assumed insulation, which could limit thermal improvements and might influence future energy costs despite the recent eco-focused refurbishment. The area is cosmopolitan with students and commuters, so it suits those wanting central city living but may not be ideal for buyers seeking a completely quiet neighbourhood.
This apartment will appeal to buyers who value central Bath location, historic character and turnkey presentation — notably first-time buyers or professionals wanting a stylish city-base with low immediate maintenance demands. Investors should note the local student/commuter catchment and strong rental demand, but also the listed-status constraints on alterations.
