A purpose-built two-bedroom apartment in the heart of Bath, offered at 60% shared ownership for residents aged 55 and over. The flat sits on an upper floor of Minerva Court and opens into a welcoming hall with built-in storage leading to an open-plan sitting/dining room and kitchen. Large windows and a Juliet balcony bring light into the living space, while the principal bedroom includes fitted wardrobes.
Communal facilities suit downsizers: a residents’ lounge, laundry, attractive communal gardens and off-street residents’ parking are all on site. The layout is efficient for retirement living, with a walk-in shower cubicle for easier access and convenience to local shops and Bath city centre within walking distance.
Buyers should note material charges and constraints: the sale is 60% shared ownership, with rent and service charge on the unsold 40% totalling approximately £454.08 per month, and an annual service charge of £5,448.96. The property is leasehold with about 87–88 years remaining. Heating is by electric storage heaters and broadband speeds are reported as slow, which may affect running costs and connectivity.
Location and condition are strengths: attractive street presence in a well-maintained block, energy rating around C, and communal amenities tailored to over-55s. However, there is a medium flood risk in the area, very high local crime statistics, and the apartment may benefit from some updating to align with modern heating and connectivity expectations. These factors affect suitability for some buyers and should be weighed alongside the central Bath location and communal support offered by the development.
