This second-floor, two-bedroom apartment sits in the heart of Bath’s city centre, a short level walk from Bath Spa station, SouthGate shops and an extensive range of cafés and services. At about 740 sq ft it delivers a generous open-plan living/kitchen and two double bedrooms, including a main en-suite — a practical layout for city living or letting.
The block offers practical communal amenities: lift access, a rooftop garden, and a dedicated bike and bin store. The flat is chain free and vacant, so it is ready for a quick move or letting. Recent construction (2007–2011) means double glazing and gas central heating are already in place, and the finish is described as modern and well‑presented.
Important practical points: the property is leasehold with 111 years remaining, an annual service charge of about £2,724 and ground rent around £315. There is no private garden and the outlook fronts a busy retail passage and arcade rather than a quiet green aspect. Crime levels in the immediate area are reported as very high, which may affect some buyers’ sense of security or choice of tenant.
For first-time buyers or investors this flat offers immediate central convenience and good natural light, with reliable transport links and fast broadband. Budget for the ongoing service charge and ground rent, and consider security/tenancy plans given the local crime statistics. Viewing will best show how the apartment’s size, layout and location match your priorities.
