Summary - 42, Great Pulteney Street, BATH BA2 4DR
2 bed 1 bath Apartment
Large two‑bedroom Georgian apartment, newly renovated, steps from Bath city centre.
Grade I listed Georgian townhouse with high ceilings and sash windows
Set within a landmark Grade I Georgian townhouse on Great Pulteney Street, this newly renovated two‑bedroom apartment offers generous period rooms, high ceilings and abundant natural light. Recent works include full rewiring, replumbing, a new boiler, a modern kitchen with Bosch appliances and a newly fitted bathroom, so the property is largely move‑in ready. The layout spans two levels and feels more like a small house, with plentiful storage and elegant sash windows overlooking the street and neighbouring gardens.
Practical strengths include a very long lease (effectively 960 years remaining, share of freehold originally granted), residents’ off‑street parking and a manageable ground rent of £25 per year. The service charge is approximately £2,160 pa (£180 pcm), and council tax is above average — important running costs to factor into affordability.
Important considerations are presented plainly: the building’s Grade I listed status means any future alterations will face strict planning and consent requirements and may complicate refurbishment. The building fabric is traditional sandstone/limestone with assumed no wall insulation, so further energy‑efficiency works could be limited or costly. Local recorded crime levels are very high for the area, which some buyers will want to investigate further.
Positioned 0.3 miles from Bath city centre, close to Sydney Gardens and Bath Spa station, the apartment suits buyers wanting a central, characterful home with modern services already installed. It will particularly appeal to those who value historical context and generous rooms over turnkey new‑build finishes, while accepting the listed constraints and local security considerations.
