Summary - 4 FLAT 4 FOUNTAIN BUILDINGS BATH BA1 5DU
1 bed 1 bath Apartment
Bijou first-floor one-bed in Bath’s historic centre — ideal low-maintenance let.
Compact 1-bed flat, approx. 330 sq ft
A bijou, well-presented one-bedroom apartment in the heart of Bath, set on the first floor of a Grade II listed Georgian townhouse. At roughly 330 sq ft this compact home is tastefully finished and easy to manage, with electric heating, a modern shower room and a communal rear courtyard. Its central location places shops, cafes and transport within a short walk — ideal for a single occupant or a city-centre buy-to-let.
The property offers genuine rental appeal thanks to its city-centre address, heritage façade and nearby student and professional demand. Practical features include residents' eligibility to apply for a Central Zone parking permit and a very long lease (reported as 991 years remaining). Service charges are around £2,040 per year (approx. £170 pcm) and council tax sits at Band A.
Notable drawbacks are clear and material: the building’s listed status can make alterations and maintenance more complex and potentially costly, and the local area records very high crime levels — factors landlords and occupants should weigh carefully. The apartment’s footprint is small and rooms are compact, so it suits single occupancy or investors seeking a low-maintenance city let rather than buyers needing generous living space.
Overall this is a convenient, low-upkeep city-centre flat with strong letting potential but some practical constraints (listed status, compact size, elevated local crime) that require realistic expectations from buyers.
