Set within a handsome Grade II listed building on Bath Road, this compact one-bedroom apartment is offered chain free and sold furnished — an easy move-in or buy-to-let option. The open-plan ground-floor living/kitchen benefits from built-in appliances and a bright aspect, while a spiral staircase leads to a generous first-floor double bedroom and modern shower room. Allocated off-street parking is a practical rarity for central flats.
The property is a clear fit for first-time buyers wanting a central, low-maintenance home or investors seeking immediate income: current rental income is £800 pcm and the flat is offered with fixtures and fittings included. A long lease (986 years) provides ownership security, and mains gas central heating keeps running costs straightforward. The town centre, transport links and local amenities are all within easy walking distance.
Important practical points: the building’s listed status will constrain alterations and may complicate some works or improvements. The apartment is small (approximately 333 sq ft) and has an EPC rating of E, so buyers seeking larger living space or top-tier efficiency may find limits. Ground rent is modest at £150 and the property is in a cosmopolitan, student-heavy neighbourhood — good for rental demand but noisier at times and with higher local crime statistics to consider.
In short, this is a convenient, low-hassle central flat with immediate rental potential and allocated parking. It suits a first-time buyer wanting a city-base or an investor seeking a ready-let asset — but check listed-building restrictions and local area considerations before committing.
