Set on the top floor of a Grade II listed Georgian building on Broad Street, this newly refurbished one-bedroom apartment blends period character with contemporary finish. The open-plan living/kitchen benefits from natural light and integrated appliances, making it ready to let or occupy without major works.
As an investment, the flat’s central Bath location and proximity to shops, restaurants and transport give strong rental appeal to students and professionals. The lease is long (c.977 years), reducing common leasehold purchase risks, and the compact 571 sq ft layout is straightforward to manage.
Buyers should note material selling points: this property is being sold via Modern Auction with buyer fees, an undisclosed reserve and a non-refundable reservation fee applicable; allow for the auction timescale and extra costs. The building’s listed status may restrict alterations and could complicate some refurbishments or permissions.
Practical considerations include electric storage heating, very slow broadband speeds, an above-average service charge, and a local crime rate reported as very high. These factors may affect running costs, tenant demand and insurance; thorough due diligence is essential before bidding.
