A light-filled two-bedroom maisonette arranged over three floors, offered with a long lease and a rare share of freehold. Period features include high ceilings and a principal bedroom with original fireplace, giving character and scope to personalise. Service charge, ground rent and building insurance total just £500pa, unusually low for the area.
The apartment sits less than a mile from Bath Spa station and the city centre, ideal for first-time buyers seeking walkable shops, cafés and schools. The open-plan living and kitchen area and deceptively large top-floor bedroom create comfortable, flexible living; the second bedroom and bathroom are well proportioned for guests or a home office.
Buyers should note practical issues: heating is by electric storage heaters and the stone walls are assumed uninsulated, so running costs and cold spots are possible without improvement. The property is in a cosmopolitan, student-heavy neighbourhood with a very high local crime rate, which may concern some purchasers. The maisonette would benefit from targeted upgrading (insulation, heating) to improve comfort and energy costs.
Overall this is a characterful, well-located home with low holding costs and long lease security. It will suit buyers wanting a central Bath base who are prepared to invest in energy improvements and interior upgrades to maximise comfort and value.
