Summary - Flat, 1, Moorland Road, BATH BA2 3PJ
1 bed 1 bath Commercial Property
Freehold mixed‑use investment on busy local retail parade
A freehold mixed‑use investment on a busy local retail parade in Bath, offered with a total current gross rent of £27,750 per annum. The ground floor is a Class E lock‑up unit operating as a café with commercial kitchen, rear storage, WC, forecourt seating and a gated side path leading to a small garden. The ground tenant has occupied the premises since 2016 and is contracted until January 2030. The first floor is separately accessed and described in the listing as a two‑bed flat; the upper accommodation is currently let on a 12‑month AST and is noted as having good natural light and potential for student use subject to statutory consents.
The property sits in a city/suburban student‑orientated neighbourhood with strong local amenities, frequent footfall and fast broadband — characteristics that support steady rental demand. The façade and form are Victorian stone with a traditional shopfront, offering town‑centre presence and clear appeal to investors seeking a hands‑off income or modest active management to enhance returns.
Key attractions are the long‑standing ground tenant, pavement seating/forecourt and the potential to optimise the upper floor (student conversion subject to consents). Material considerations for buyers: first‑floor accommodation is let short‑term, the ground lease runs to 2030 which limits immediate rental reversion, and the listing contains conflicting bedroom counts in different sections (investors should verify configuration). Tenure details are listed as unknown and will require confirmation during due diligence.
Overall, this is a city centre shop‑with‑flat freehold suited to an investor targeting Bath’s buoyant rental market and student demand. It offers steady current income with short‑term asset management opportunities, but purchasers should factor in lease expiry timing, required consents for any change of use, and confirm legal/title details before committing.
