Set on Rivers Street in the heart of Bath, this second-floor one-bedroom apartment offers generous proportions and handsome Georgian character. Large sash windows, high ceilings and a feature fireplace create an airy, classic living space just moments from the Royal Crescent and the Circus. The layout allows separate living and dining zones plus a built-in desk area for home working.
The double bedroom includes a wall of fitted wardrobes and a quiet rear outlook. The kitchen has good storage and appliance space; the bathroom is modern with a shower over bath and heated towel rail. The current owner is in the process of securing a share of the freehold, and the property is offered chain-free, simplifying completion for a motivated buyer.
Buyers should note material considerations: the flat is Grade II listed, which will restrict alterations and can complicate maintenance. The lease has about 87–88 years remaining, which will affect mortgage availability and may require future extension. Heating is by electric room heaters and the EPC is rated E, so running costs and insulation improvements are likely.
Practical costs include an annual service charge of approximately £2,028 and a nominal ground rent of £10. The central city location brings excellent broadband and mobile coverage but also records higher local crime levels; prospective purchasers should consider this when comparing neighbourhoods. Overall, this is a character-filled central apartment suited to a first-time buyer or professional looking for a compact, well-located home with period detail and renovation potential.
