One-bedroom starter close to train links and Bath city centre.
Elegant bay window and period features in lounge
This first-floor one-bedroom apartment sits in a handsome Victorian terrace in Oldfield Park, a short walk from Oldfield Park station and Bath city centre. The lounge is bright and characterful, with an elegant bay window, ceiling rose and fireplace; the separate kitchen and bedroom with built-in storage make this a comfortable starter home. Access to a loft adds useful extra storage.
The flat offers straightforward running costs: a very long lease (961 years), 50% share of freehold and a below-average service charge. Broadband and mobile signals are excellent, and local shops, schools and transport are all on the doorstep — convenient for commuting, study or first-time ownership.
Buyers should note the property is dated in places and will benefit from updating to reach its full potential. Heating is by electric storage heaters and the external stone walls are assumed uninsulated, which may affect running costs and comfort. Leasehold tenure and potential additional fees (lease packs) should be checked before offer.
Overall, this apartment suits a first-time buyer or investor seeking a characterful property with good location and clear scope for cosmetic improvement to add value.
