Discover a place bound in history

Bath Press - A distinguished address with a story to tell. 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.

Location
Historic cities have a timeless appeal, and continue to attract strong interest from buyers in search of impressive, atmospheric surroundings.

It’s not just the beautiful architecture and sense of history, it’s the whole lifestyle that comes with it – from independent shops and great places to eat, to cultural events and access to green open spaces.

For many buyers, though, it’s also about the practical side of life. We’re increasingly finding that people want a blend of character and convenience. They love the charm of a heritage city but don’t necessarily want the upkeep that can come with an older property.

A new home in a heritage setting gives buyers the best of both worlds – you can enjoy everything the city has to offer, while also benefiting from modern design, low maintenance and energy efficiency.

Homes at Bath Press are a part of a distinguished address with a story to tell. The site of what was once the Pitman Press Printing Works now offers a selection of beautifully crafted townhouses and apartments, blending heritage with modern living.

Resume your journey towards the city with a peaceful meander along the river. The tree-lined path is punctuated with green spaces including the attractive three acre Green Park, backing on to the old station and Saturday farmers’ market.
