Renting in Oldfield Park

Oldfield Park is Bath's most affordable rental neighbourhood and the city's principal student area. Two overlapping tenant groups keep occupancy consistently high: University of Bath students (campus above on Claverton Down, accessible by the frequent U1 bus) and young professionals who want a Bath address while keeping rent under £1,000 per person per month.

The housing stock is Victorian and Edwardian terraced houses, purpose-built 1960s–80s flats, and a large number of licensed HMOs serving the student market. Two-bedroom houses are the most available type in the open market. Studios and one-bed conversions serve solo renters and visiting academics. The Moorland Road spine has improved markedly in recent years — independent cafes, a deli, and a wine bar have made the area noticeably more appealing to post-student renters staying on in the area.

Oldfield Park railway station is one stop from Bath Spa on the Great Western Main Line — useful for commuters who need to reach Bristol or further afield. Journey time to Bristol Temple Meads: 20 minutes by train from Bath Spa. Bus connections to the city centre run frequently from Lower Bristol Road.
