A practical two-bedroom second-floor apartment in a modern red-brick block, five minutes’ walk from Taunton town centre. The flat comes with gated allocated parking, gas central heating and double glazing, making it straightforward to let or move into immediately. Current rent is £900pcm, giving a strong gross return relative to the asking price for investors; council tax is in a low band B.
The layout includes an entrance hall, combined living/dining room, fitted kitchen, master bedroom with fitted wardrobes and an ensuite shower room, a second bedroom and a family bathroom. The property is chain free and sits on a long lease (about 110 years remaining), which reduces transactional friction for buyers.
Be clear about the costs: the current annual service charge is £1,480.96 and ground rent is £150pa. The development is modern and well maintained, but the flat is compact (approximately 541 sq ft) with no private garden, so it suits singles, couples or buy-to-let purchasers rather than those needing large family space.
Location strengths include excellent mobile signal, fast broadband speeds and close access to local shops, schools and transport. Buyers should also note the recorded very high local crime level — a material local-area factor to weigh alongside the rental income potential and central convenience.
