Studio for sale

Abbey Green, Bath BA1

A well proportioned second floor studio apartment within a Grade II listed building, enjoying an attractive outlook over historic Abbey Green. The accommodation is light and spacious, with period sash windows, a separate kitchen and a practical layout that makes excellent use of the available space.

Location

Abbey Green is a historic cobbled square in the heart of Bath, immediately to the south of the Roman Baths and Bath Abbey. Centred around its distinctive mature London plane tree, the square is lined with handsome period buildings and is home to a mixture of independent shops, cafés and restaurants. Despite its exceptionally central position, Abbey Green has a more intimate character than many of the city’s principal shopping streets, while SouthGate, Milsom Street and the wider city centre are all within easy walking distance.

Bath is renowned for its Roman and Georgian heritage and is designated a unesco World Heritage Site. The city provides an extensive range of shops, restaurants and cultural amenities, including the Theatre Royal, Thermae Bath Spa, the Roman Baths and numerous museums and galleries.

Bath Spa railway station is approximately 500 metres away and provides regular direct services to London Paddington, with the fastest journeys taking around 1 hour 18 minutes, and to Bristol Temple Meads in around 11 minutes. For travel by road, Junction 18 of the M4 is approximately 10 miles north of the city and is reached via the A46.

Internal Descriptions

The apartment is situated on the second floor and is approached via the communal entrance hall and staircase. Once inside, a private entrance hall provides access to the principal accommodation.

The main studio room is a particularly well proportioned space, measuring approximately 22'3" x 12'11" at its widest points. Three sash windows overlook Abbey Green and incorporate window seats, providing an attractive outlook across the historic square. The room offers ample space for both sitting and dining furniture, together with a recessed area which provides a natural position for a bed. Two built-in cupboards provide useful storage.

A separate kitchen, measuring approximately 9'5" x 5'8", is fitted with a range of units and provides space for a fridge and washing machine. The arrangement of the kitchen away from the main living space is a notable advantage for a studio apartment.

The shower room comprises a shower enclosure and wash hand basin, while a separate WC is accessed from the entrance hall. Together, the separate kitchen, shower room and WC allow the main studio room to remain largely dedicated to living and sleeping accommodation.

External Descriptions

The property forms part of an attractive period building overlooking Abbey Green, with views across the historic cobbled square and its distinctive mature London plane tree. The setting is particularly appealing, with the square's independent shops, cafés and restaurants creating a lively yet characterful atmosphere.
