Summary - MEDINA ST MICHAELS ROAD MINEHEAD TA24 5RZ
1 bed 1 bath Apartment
Character apartment with gardens and parking, suitable for over-60s seeking downsizing options.
Victorian Grade II building with sweeping town and hill views
A bright one-bedroom second-floor apartment within an impressive Grade II Victorian building on St. Michaels Road, offering sweeping town and hill views and easy access to Exmoor walks. The flat was fully renovated in 1993 and benefits from communal gardens, a garden store and off-street parking — practical features for downsizers seeking low-maintenance living.
This property is available through the Home for Life Lifetime Lease option for buyers aged 60+, which typically delivers savings versus full market value. The full listed price is £119,000; a guide Lifetime Lease price is £79,750 (approximate, illustrative saving of 33%). Actual cost depends on age, personal circumstances and the share you choose to purchase (up to 50%).
Internally the layout is traditional with a sitting room featuring a Victorian fireplace, a fitted kitchen, double bedroom with storage recess and a three-piece bathroom. Heating is by electric storage heaters and mains services are in place; broadband speeds are fast and mobile signal is excellent — useful practical points for everyday living.
Notable considerations: the building is Grade II listed which can restrict alterations and may complicate some repairs. The apartment sits in a timber-framed, pre-1900 building where insulation is assumed to be limited. Service charge is about £1,200pa and ground rent is nominal. Crime in the area is reported above average — worth checking personal security measures. These are factual trade-offs against location, character and low-maintenance communal grounds.
