This ground-floor, two-double-bedroom apartment in central Bodmin is presented as a newly refurbished, move-in-ready purchase ideal for first-time buyers or those downsizing. Recent improvements include fresh decoration, new carpets and a fitted kitchen with appliances, making the accommodation comfortable from day one. The layout comprises an entrance lobby, living room, kitchen, two double bedrooms and a shower room.
Practical benefits include double glazing, slimline electric room heaters and a long residential lease (117 years remaining). The property is chain-free and a short walk from Bodmin town centre with shops, supermarkets and local transport links, including Bodmin Parkway for rail services.
Buyers should note material considerations: the property is leasehold with modest ground rent and a below-average service charge; heating is electric room heaters which can be more costly than gas; and the building dates from early 20th century with likely uninsulated granite walls. The area records higher crime levels and is classified as very deprived, which may affect longer-term resale or rental values.
Overall this apartment offers an affordable, low-maintenance entry into the property market with realistic potential for owners who prioritise location and size over on-site outdoor space and full central heating. Investors should weigh local area deprivation and crime data against the low purchase price and rental demand from constrained renters.
