Rare opportunity to acquire a substantial first floor Grade 11 listed apartment in need of total modernisation in the popular Bear Flat area of Bath. The apartment has huge potential to create a stunning two bedroom home retaining many period features, with spectacular views over Bath, and is one of three in the building.

This late eighteenth/early nineteenth century house has an impressive entrance hall with original wooden staircase and stained glass in the front door and window. On the first floor the apartment opens into a small hall which leads to the sitting room which has a stunning bay window with lovely fireplace (blocked in) and very high ceilings. Next to this is the principal bedroom with the original fireplace and a Venetian window and panoramic views over Bath down Devonshire Buildings. The kitchen has an old fireplace and overlooks the gardens at the back of the property. At the back of the property is a very spacious bedroom with Art nouveau fireplace and views over neighbouring gardens and vistas of Bath. There is also a bathroom and useful under stairs storage cupboard.

The apartment is located in desirable Bear Flat which is 1.3 miles from Bath Spa railway station. Alexandra Park is 0.3 miles away, perfect for dog walking or admiring the stunning views of Bath below, as well as joining the Bath Skyline, a wonderful six mile circular walk overlooking at the main sites of Georgian Bath. Bear Flat has the world renowned Menu Gordon Jones restaurant, the lively Bear pub, Da Vinci delicatessen, the Co-op, and the chemists as well as a florist and several other individual shops. Bear Flat is an active community, organising various events such as Bear Flat Art trail. There is a large Sainsbury’s at the top of the hill. The Twin Tunnels cycle path is nearby, and there are lovely walks out into beautiful country at Midford and a good lunch at the Hope and Anchor pub. A little further on is the Wellow Trekking Centre, an idyllically located riding school. In Chelwood Drive there is Odd Down sports ground with the superb new cycle and BMX tracks and many sporting facilities on offer. The property is in the catchment area of many excellent schools, both state – Beechen Cliff School, Hayesfield School, Ralph Allen as well as private schools such as the Paragon, Prior Park and Monkton Combe. There is a short cut walk into Bath from here, only 0.9 miles walk, so it is possible to walk into the city to go out for the evening the station with a 90 minute journey to London by train.
