Summary - Kensington Place, Bath, BA1 BA1 6AW
1 bed 1 bath Apartment
Compact period flat with garden views and long lease, ideal for first-time buyers.
Georgian high ceilings and decorative cornicing throughout
A characterful one-bedroom apartment in central Bath, offered chain free and with a share of freehold. The sitting room is the standout space: generous Georgian high ceilings, decorative cornicing and large sash windows create a bright, airy living area that feels larger than the floorplan suggests. The bedroom mirrors this period charm and benefits from the same high ceilings and natural light.
Practical everyday living is covered by a well-equipped kitchen overlooking the communal garden and a neatly appointed shower room. Residents parking is available and the property sits in a very affluent, low-crime neighbourhood close to local amenities, schools and public transport. The lease is exceptionally long (circa 955 years) and council tax is low (Band B).
Notable costs and considerations are the service charge (around £2,700 pa) and the property’s small overall size (about 412 sq ft), which will suit single buyers or couples rather than those needing lots of storage or entertaining space. The building dates from before 1900 and external walls are likely solid sandstone/limestone with no built-in insulation — upgrading thermal performance could be considered.
There is a medium flood risk for the area; prospective buyers should check flood cover and insurance implications. EPC rating is C and heating is mains gas with a boiler and radiators. Overall, this is a compact, charming flat that will appeal to first-time buyers or investors seeking period character and central convenience with long lease security.
