2 bedroom apartment for sale

Chain free and fully furnished option avalable. Set within the sought-after village of Bathampton, just to the east of Bath, this beautifully presented two-bedroom ground-floor apartment forms part of a striking Victorian mansion built in 1890. Full of history and original detail, the property combines period character with thoughtful updates and modern comforts, all with the bonus of its own private entrance, garage and parking.

The building retains much of its original grandeur, from mosaic floors and stained-glass windows in the main hall to its unusual chimney toppers and the carved male and female faces on the roof—details so distinctive that passers-by often stop to take photographs. ‘It’s such a grand building when you pull into the drive,’ says the owner. ‘You can only imagine how beautiful it must have been as one house however it still feels like a very special building to come home to.’

Inside, the apartment is light and spacious, with high ceilings, tall sash windows and well-proportioned rooms. The layout includes a generous sitting room with a Victorian fireplace, a welcoming reception hallway, two good-sized double bedrooms, a modern fitted kitchen and a recently updated bathroom. New flooring and contemporary finishes mean it is ready to move straight into.

‘What first drew me here was the mix of countryside feel and closeness to town,’ says the owner. ‘You can walk into Bath along the canal in just 20 minutes, yet it feels wonderfully private and peaceful.’

The views from the rear take in Bathampton Meadows and beyond. ‘It’s like the history of transport all in one view—the canal, the river, the railway and the road,’ the owner adds. The communal gardens provide a lovely shared outdoor space, with areas for barbecues and seating to enjoy the panorama.

With its combination of Victorian charm, practical features and village setting, this apartment offers a rare opportunity to enjoy both countryside calm and city convenience.

‘The sense of community is another highlight of living here as neighbours look out for one another, and friendships flourish. One lady has lived here for more than 40 years—we’ve become such close friends, sharing laughs, meals, outings and afternoon teas.’

‘With great amenities in the city, it’s also been nice to have riverside and canal side pubs, a little shop, post office and cafe within walking distance.’

‘Feeling close to the countryside, one morning two enormous stags walked right up the drive while I was having coffee – it was magical.’
