Set within a Grade I listed Georgian townhouse in Bath, this well-cared-for garden flat offers a rare combination of period charm and outside space. The accommodation includes two generous bedrooms, a thoughtfully fitted bathroom and an ensuite, and a bright living room with high ceilings and large Georgian windows that maximise natural light. The rear garden, accessed from the kitchen, is an uncommon feature for Bath flats and will appeal to buyers seeking outdoor space in the city.
The flat is offered leasehold with an exceptionally long lease (960 years), modest ground rent and a typical service charge. It sits in a very affluent, low-crime area close to Larkhall Village, with good local amenities and strong mobile signal; broadband speeds are average. The property’s characterful stone facade, high ceilings and sash windows are strengths for buyers who value period detail.
Buyers should note the Grade I listed status — repairs, alterations and insulation work will be subject to listed-building restrictions and can increase costs and timescales. The building’s original limestone/sandstone walls are assumed to lack modern insulation. Prospective purchasers are advised to commission their own surveys and to check any potential additional leasehold fees and costs for listed-building consent before committing.
This flat will suit someone after a special, characterful home with an unusually large garden for the city — ideal for families or those downsizing who value period features and outside space, but who accept the responsibilities of living in a listed property.
