This bright two-double-bedroom second-floor apartment sits in the heart of Bath above the Southgate development, offered with no onward chain. The open-plan living area has large windows and contemporary finishes, creating a compact, low-maintenance home suited to city living or a central buy-to-let.
Practical features include lift access, communal paved courtyard and cycle/bin stores. The accommodation totals approximately 565 sq ft and comprises entrance hall with utility cupboard, open-plan sitting/dining/kitchen, two double bedrooms and a single modern bathroom. Neutral décor and engineered wood flooring make the flat move-in ready with minimal immediate work required.
Be aware of material costs and context: the leasehold runs to 111 years remaining, the annual service charge is approximately £2,782 and ground rent £315, which will affect running costs. The property has no private garden and occupies a compact footprint, with just one bathroom for two bedrooms.
Location is a key strength: a short, level walk to Bath Spa station, bus station, shops, cafes and cultural amenities. Mobile signal and broadband speeds are excellent. Note the local area records very high crime levels and the neighbourhood is a cosmopolitan, student-focused city centre — factors to consider for owner-occupiers or tenants.
