One Waterside by Berkeley Homes · Midland Road, Bath, BA2 3DT, Bath and North East Somerset

One Waterside is a major new build property development by Berkeley Homes, delivered under its St William brand, situated on a 12.4-acre brownfield site that forms Phase 2 of the Bath Western Riverside regeneration, located on Midland Road, Bath, BA2 3DT. The development will consist of a collection of 611 new homes, including both private and affordable housing, alongside a new public park, a river walk, commercial space for a café, and a children's nursery, transforming the former gasworks site into a new residential quarter in the heart of Bath.

The overall scheme for this area is expected to deliver approximately 900 new homes across all plots. This development will comprise a mix of Studio, 1, 2, and 3 bedroom apartments. The buildings are architecturally designed by Grimshaw and feature a mix of urban courtyard and linear blocks, planned to range in height from five to eight storeys. In terms of tenure, the scheme includes approximately 17% affordable rent flats, supported by Homes England funding, demonstrating a commitment to mixed-tenure city living. A strong focus has been placed on sustainability and future-proofing. One Waterside is designed to target net zero carbon operation and will utilise a water-source heat-pump district heating system. The plans incorporate significant environmental enhancements, including a riverside nature corridor, green and brown roofs, and a Sustainable Urban Drainage System (SuDS), aiming for a biodiversity net gain of at least 10%. On-site resident and public amenities will include a new public park and a dedicated river walk along the River Avon. The location offers excellent connectivity, positioned near Windsor Bridge Road and within a short walking distance of two key rail links: Bath Spa Railway Station and Oldfield Park Railway Station. Bath Spa provides direct train services to major employment hubs including London Paddington and Bristol. The development is linked to the city centre via a convenient riverside path. Nearby local amenities include supermarkets, shops, cafés, pubs, and access to a local farmers' market. For education, the area is served by a number of institutions, including the Moorlands Schools Federation (Infant and Junior), Ralph Allen School (Co-educational Secondary), and the independent King Edward’s School (3-18). Situated in the UNESCO World Heritage city of Bath, the location provides residents with immediate access to the city's Georgian heritage, cultural venues like the Theatre Royal, and local green spaces. The development is currently forthcoming, with land remediation and enabling works underway by Berkeley Homes (St William). This work is a crucial phase, with the remediation expected to be completed by Spring 2026 (based on 2025 reporting). As of the current date, property prices for the private sale Studio, 1, 2, and 3 bedroom apartments have not been released. Interested purchasers are advised to register their interest or contact the developer directly for updates on sales launch dates, pricing structures, and viewing arrangements once they are made available. The developer, Berkeley Group, has an established track record in transforming large, complex brownfield sites into high-quality residential areas.
