Secure, electrically controlled gates provide allocated off-street parking, and the property is sold chain free with a long lease (999 years) and share of freehold — attractive for buyers who prioritise tenure security.
Practical comforts include mains gas central heating with a boiler and underfloor heating, double glazing and a modest service charge (£958.45 per year, payable half-yearly). Council tax band C is affordable for the area. Broadband speeds are reported slow, and the flat’s internal area is compact, so space-conscious buyers should view to assess suitability.
The setting sits within a cosmopolitan, student-influenced neighbourhood, close to local shops, Bear Flat amenities and well-rated schools. This apartment will appeal to first-time buyers and buy-to-let investors seeking a central Bath postcode with character, parking and attractive communal grounds.
