Description

This Grade II Listed freehold Georgian townhouse is arranged as five self-contained apartments, with a substantial unconverted lower-ground floor. The property extends to over 6,500 sq. ft. and is positioned within Marlborough Buildings, close to the Royal Crescent. The current accommodation is recorded as nine bedrooms, and the building requires comprehensive modernisation. Subject to planning permission and listed building consent, the layout could be restored as a single residence or reconfigured into apartments. Original features include decorative cornicing, working shutters, a stone cantilevered staircase and marble fireplaces. There is also an enclosed rear garden with mature trees and established planting. The property has been in the same ownership for more than 40 years and is offered as a freehold. Services include electric central heating and mains drainage; an EPC is not available due to the listed status. The five apartments are currently in Council Tax Band D, with reassessment likely if the building is returned to single-house use. Marlborough Buildings is near the shops and cafés around St James's Square and Margaret's Buildings, as well as Royal Victoria Park and Bath Approach Golf Course. Bath Spa station provides services to London Paddington and Bristol Temple Meads, and the M4 is approximately 10 miles away. Any restoration or change of use would require the relevant consents.

Grade BGood opportunity

Confidence: MEDIUM

At £1,750,000, this substantial Grade II Listed Bath stone terrace is priced very attractively against the local market: about £263 per sq ft versus a local average of £477. Its position beside the Royal Crescent, views across its lawns and surviving Georgian features—including the cantilevered stone staircase, fireplaces and decorative details—give the project a distinctive foundation. The dated finishes, worn areas and overgrown garden make this a heavy, whole-building programme rather than a cosmetic refresh, with scope to restore it as a single residence or consider apartment reconfiguration subject to planning permission and listed building consent. Limited photo coverage makes the renovation assessment further provisional.

Key opportunities

  • Restore the generous period interiors around retained features including marble fireplaces, decorative cornicing, working shutters and the original stone cantilevered staircase.
  • The scale and existing arrangement across five apartments, plus a substantial unconverted lower ground floor, offer scope to rethink the accommodation as a single residence or explore apartment reconfiguration, subject to consents.
  • Acquire a substantial Bath stone terrace in a prestigious position beside the Royal Crescent at a notably low asking price per square foot versus the local average; the enclosed mature garden also offers room for improvement.

Key risks

  • Stripped-back modernisation across a very large, multi-level listed building is a heavy programme: plan for a full interior rebuild and careful coordination, not a cosmetic refresh.
  • The roof and concealed fabric are not established by the available photographs, so their condition needs investigation.
