Light-filled two-bedroom apartment in a favoured Lower Meads position, offered chain free with a very long lease (972 years). The sitting room opens onto a south-westerly balcony with pleasant westerly views over Devonshire Park tennis courts and distant coastal glimpse — a relaxed spot for evening sun. The former three-bedroom layout now provides a separate dining area, increasing flexibility for home working or entertaining.
The apartment benefits from gas central heating and UPVC double glazing, plus communal gardens and on-site parking typical of purpose-built blocks of the period. Room sizes are generous for a 1960s/70s flat and storage includes built-in wardrobes in both bedrooms. Service charges cover building management and sinking fund; quarterly costs are stated and should be budgeted for alongside moderate Council Tax (Band D).
Practical drawbacks are clear and factual: the building dates from the late 20th century and the bathroom and some internal fittings are dated and will suit buyers prepared to modernise. Cavity walls are listed as uninsulated (as built), so owners may wish to consider energy-efficiency improvements. The immediate area records higher crime levels, which some buyers should weigh against the location and transport links.
This property will suit first-time buyers or downsizers seeking roomy accommodation near town amenities and green space, and investors wanting a rentable flat close to local services. An internal inspection is recommended to appreciate proportions and the balcony aspect.
