Upper floors: development potential subject to planning (application required)
Large private rear car park and garage accessed from Corn Street

Tenure unspecified — legal/financial due diligence essential
This substantial Grade II listed mid-terrace on St James’s Parade offers a rare central Bath investment with immediate vacant possession. The building comprises ground-floor retail previously occupied by a funeral director, generous upper floors and a large private car park with a garage accessed from Corn Street. Its central location places it within Bath’s busiest amenities and transport links.
The upper floors present clear development potential subject to planning consent; conversion to residential or mixed-use could unlock value given the size (approx. 3,570 sq ft). However, the listing status will require sensitive, approved works and may limit external alterations. The property is in need of complete refurbishment throughout — buyers should allow for significant renovation costs and heritage-compliant materials and methods.
Practical considerations: broadband speeds are slow despite excellent mobile signal; the site has a medium flood risk and the local area records very high crime levels. Tenure is not specified and will need confirmation. These factors affect financing, insurance and repositioning strategy, so early due diligence and pre-application advice from the local planning authority are recommended.
For an investor or developer familiar with listed buildings, this offers scale, central Bath footfall and a rear car park — uncommon in the city centre. The opportunity suits a buyer prepared to manage heritage constraints and redevelopment complexity to realise substantial uplift.
