The Alfred (Plot 1)
£925,000
Located within the World Heritage Site of Bath, just west of the vibrant City Centre, City & Country are transforming the former Pitman Press site into an exceptional collection of modern and luxurious 1,2 & 3 bedroom apartments and 3 & 4 bedroom townhouses, all set around beautiful courtyard gardens.
Identified as a Non-Designated Heritage Asset, the formal façade of the original 19th century building has been retained along with its iconic chimney, complemented by refined contemporary design to create a unique residence.
The elegant townhouses have been thoughtfully designed to reflect the city’s glorious Georgian architecture. The apartments, industrial in character, are modern yet respectful of the site’s heritage. Beyond the stately entrance you’ll discover beautifully landscaped communal green spaces, immaculate courtyards and rooftop gardens offering a picturesque and relaxing setting.
Beyond Bath’s historic charm, the city buzzes with vibrant yet relaxed local life. Just a leisurely stroll, run, or cycle along the river to the centre of Bath, you’ll find everything the city has to offer including cosy cafés, stylish bars, fine dining, and boutique shopping set against magnificent architecture and lively street entertainment.
Excellent transport links make Bath easily accessible, with both Oldfield Park and Bath Spa stations within walking distance, offering direct connections to London Paddington, Reading, and Bristol on the Great Western Railway. For international travel, Bristol Airport is just over half an hour’s drive away, providing convenient flights to destinations across the UK and Europe.
Our marketing suite is open from Thursday to Monday, 10 am to 5 pm.

UNESCO World Heritage Site Listed 1987 & 2021
Bath is one of only two entire cities in the world listed as a World Heritage Site and is exceptional in having two UNESCO inscriptions. In 1987 it was inscribed for its hot springs, Roman archaeology, Georgian architecture and natural setting, then in 2021 as one of the Great Spa Towns of Europe. Beyond its protected status and proud sense of heritage, the city’s rich cultural and natural assets create a breathtaking backdrop.
Coffee, cocktails & culinary finesse
From charming pubs, cosy cafés and cool bars to fine dining, authentic street food and indulgent afternoon tea, Bath has a vast choice of fabulous places to eat and drink.
A lasting impression since 1889
Sir Isaac Pitman, famed for inventing the world’s most widely used shorthand system, had a revolutionary influence on the communication and education of the English language. The 5.3 acre Bath Press site was once home to Pitman's Fifth Phonetic Institute and then the Pitman Press, later becoming The Bath Press, the city's largest employer.
Landscaped Gardens
Beyond the stately entrance you'll discover beautifully landscaped green spaces, immaculate courtyards and rooftop gardens offering a picturesque and relaxing setting.
A Piece of History
Identified as a Non-Designated Heritage Asset, the formal façade of the original 19th century building has been retained along with its iconic chimney, complemented by refined contemporary design to create a unique residence.
Premium Finishes
Flawlessly blending refined, timeless design with premium contemporary specification, the homes at Bath Press have been expertly crafted to provide effortless but luxurious modern living.
City of Bath on your doorstep
Few cities in the world can match Bath for its heritage, opportunity and vibrancy. Beyond Bath's historical sites and honey-hued facades, there's an exciting city, humming with vibrant but laid-back local life.
The finishes are incredible. The thing with most new builds is when you look around the property, there were always add-ons that aren’t included in the price but with City & Country, we could purchase knowing we would have the very best specification included.Bradley & Lauren City & Country Purchasers
