Summary - 117 MONKSDALE ROAD BATH BA2 2JD
1 bed 1 bath Flat
Elevated one-bedroom flat with balcony, communal gardens and good transport links.
Panoramic balcony views over mature communal gardens
This one-bedroom flat on Monksdale Road offers elevated, panoramic views from a private balcony and sits within mature communal gardens — a rare combination for city living. The layout is practical: entrance hall with storage, a sizeable lounge opening onto the balcony, a kitchen/dining room, double bedroom and a fitted bathroom. Double glazing and gas central heating provide year-round comfort.
The building dates from around 1964 and presents a straightforward, well-maintained apartment that will suit a first-time buyer or investor seeking a lettable city property. Communal grounds and a lockable storage cupboard add useful practicality. Local amenities, cafés on Moorland Road, cycle paths and good links to the city centre and universities are all within easy reach.
Important factual notes: the property is leasehold with 102 years remaining, an annual service charge of about £1,668 (c. £139 pcm) and a ground rent of £10 p.a. The flat is in a mid-20th-century block and, while generally well-presented, offers scope for cosmetic updating to modernise finishes and maximise value. The bathroom has an electric shower over the bath (Triton), which some buyers may wish to replace.
Overall this is a compact, well-located apartment with strong rental and owner-occupier appeal thanks to its position, outside space and transport links. Buyers should factor in the leasehold tenure, ongoing service charge and potential modernisation costs when assessing affordability.
