77a, Rifford Road,EXETER,EX2 5LA
EX2 5LA
2 bed 1 bath Apartment
No onward chain and close to hospital, ideal for first-time buyers or investors.
Two bedrooms and one bathroom in a practical first-floor layout
A bright two-bedroom first-floor apartment arranged around a roomy entrance hallway with two storage cupboards, a light-filled sitting/dining room and a separate kitchen. The layout is straightforward and practical for a first home or buy-to-let, with bathroom facilities and space for appliances in the kitchen. The block sits in level communal grounds with mature trees and parking available via a neighbouring permit car park.
The property offers immediate benefits: walking distance to the Royal Devon & Exeter Hospital, fast broadband and excellent mobile signal, direct transport links into Exeter and easy access to the M5. There is no onward chain, making it quicker to move if you’re buying to occupy or let. Outgoings are modest: council tax is very low and the stated service charge is below average.
Important points to check: records supplied are inconsistent about tenure — some notes list freehold while the internal lease details show a 125-year lease from 1988, an annual ground rent of £10 and a quarterly service charge of £171.62. The surrounding area is classified as high deprivation and hampered neighbourhoods, and the site has a medium flooding risk. The flat will suit buyers who prioritise location and rental potential but should expect some updating and to verify tenure and flood insurance implications before committing.
Overall this apartment presents a cost-conscious entry into Exeter’s market or a straightforward investment opportunity. Its practical layout, transport links and no-chain status give clear short-term appeal, while the tenure and local-area factors are material issues to resolve at offer stage.
