AI Summary
This pre-1900 terraced freehold in Bath is being marketed as a renovation project with genuine period character and a rear garden, but at £400,000 it is priced substantially above the local comparable sales median of £296,250 — a gap that buyers must carefully consider given the scale of work required. The property has significant issues including damp ingress, an aged heating system, and a dated interior throughout, meaning total costs including purchase, stamp duty, and renovation could be considerable. Bath remains a desirable city and the freehold status and no-chain position are genuine positives, but buyers should commission a full structural and damp survey before proceeding and negotiate hard on price.
