2 Bed Flat, Sydney Place, BA2

This is a comfortable two-bedroom furnished flat (60 sq. m.) on the top-floor of a quiet and well-managed Georgian house (listed Grade I) in a prime central location. The flat has a dedicated parking space within a gated enclosure.

From the two double bedrooms it has wide easterly views over the rooftops of the city of Bath to the south and east and the hills beyond. Only a 10 minute level walk to the centre of town (ie the Podium and Waitrose) along Great Pulteney Street and 3 minutes from the University bus stop on Bathwick Hill the flat overlooks Sydney Gardens and Henrietta Park is close by. All the windows of this flat are double-glazed (save the kitchen). There is a small galley kitchen with the usual white goods; but tenants are now required to provide their own crockery and cutlery, cooking vessels and personal household utensils. The bathroom provides a bath with an electric shower over and the usual offices. A carefully maintained gas combi-boiler provides economic central heating and hot water with the electric shower as backup. There is a coal-effect gas fire in the sitting-room providing a pleasing focus to the room.

An integrated communal fire-alarm system is installed and carefully maintained on a weekly and annual basis by the management company and the gardens and common parts of the house are kept to the high standard expected of a Grade I listed house.

The flat is suited to professional couples willing to fit into the quiet spirit and atmosphere of the house. Satisfactory references will be required together with a favourable reference from a previous landlord and an OpenRent check. Undergraduates are not accepted due to the rules of the house but Ph.D and research staff in addition to University teaching staff are eligible subject to the reference requirements.

The tenancy is fully supported with all necessary services such as a plumber, gas-engineer, domestic machine maintenance and friendly practical local help at no cost to the tenants who have a direct call upon the Landlord's contractors for assistance.

Smoking is absolutely and strictly prohibited in the flat and the house and the communal rules do not permit keeping pets. It is a term of the tenancy that no e-bike or e-scooter battery is brought into the house for safety reasons.

The internet is accessed via the telephone line and the speed for this postcode is adequate for normal domestic use. It has been claimed to be up to 17Mb by most providers but the "up to" speed is the maximum possible speed you are likely to receive and a recent test showed 13.9mb/s download and 1mb/s upload although Superfast may become available locally. It is for prospective tenants entirely to satisfy themselves from their providers that the speed is adequate for their needs.

The deposit (equivalent to one months rent) is secured with 'My Deposits', a scheme endorsed by the National Residential Landlords Association and approved by the Secretary of State.
