North Parade Buildings is situated in central Bath just off the picturesque Abbey Green and Parade Gardens and behind The Bath Abbey. For such a central location, the street is a quiet, pedestrian gem hidden away from the crowds. The property is a mere 6 minute walk from Bath Spa Railway Station providing good access to public transport.
The street was designed in 1753 by the renowned architect Thomas Jelly, and forms part of a magnificent Grade II listed terrace of properties in the centre of Georgian Bath.
The sale includes three complete town houses, with no 7 being a double fronted townhouse and 8 and 9 both having direct access at ground floor level. The properties are built in the neo-classical style typical of the era and constructed of Ashlar Bath stone under a slate tile roof.
The buildings are set over five floors, and despite significant opening up works undertaken by the Council during their years of occupation before the sale to the current owners, the building retains a wealth of period features. Unusually, each floor has been opened across all three buildings to provide beneficial lateral flow through the buildings.
The lower ground floor offers three separate apartments that are well presented and run as a holiday let business.
The ground floors offer a superb reception room, meeting rooms and cellular office accommodation of various sizes. The three upper floors offer further office accommodation, WC and kitchen facilities.
The commercial element of the buildings has been operated as serviced offices for many years and the building is offered with the benefit of the short-term tenancies to the existing tenants. Details are available on request.
