Affordable starter home or rental with communal gardens and parking.
Chain-free ground-floor flat, ready to move in
This ground-floor two-bedroom flat in Devizes is offered chain-free and ready to move into, making it a straightforward purchase for a first-time buyer or a buy-to-let investor. The apartment sits in a mid-20th-century brick block and benefits from two double bedrooms, a spacious sitting room and communal front and rear gardens. Residents’ off-street parking adds practical convenience in a town-centre location.
Practical strengths include a long lease (125 years remaining), double glazing throughout and mains gas central heating with radiators. Council tax is very cheap (Band A), there is no flooding risk, and the area has low crime — useful points for new homeowners or renters. Local rail links and the M4 are within commuting distance, while Devizes offers regular markets and local amenities.
Notable considerations are that the property is leasehold (management charge to be confirmed) and the ground rent is nominally a peppercorn. Broadband speeds are slow in the area, and the glazing appears to pre-date 2002, which may be a factor for buyers prioritising the latest thermal efficiency. The building’s mid-century construction means it is solid and low-maintenance but may not feature recent high-end finishes.
Overall, this is a practical, affordable entry-level home or rental purchase: low running costs, straightforward accommodation and good local amenities, with modest modernization potential for buyers who want to add value over time.
