Summary - 8 NORTHFIELD GARDENS TAUNTON TA1 1XN
2 bed 1 bath Ground Flat
Ground-floor two-bedroom retirement flat with on-site care and town-centre convenience.
Over-60s only; purchasers must be in receipt of a pension
A purpose-built, ground-floor retirement apartment positioned in Taunton town centre, offering step-free access and convenient walking distance to shops, cafés and local services. The flat provides two double bedrooms within a compact 442 sq ft layout, suited to buyers seeking easy, low-maintenance living close to amenities. On-site support features — a 24-hour care line, community hall and manager — add reassurance for older residents.
Practical details are clear: electric storage heating, mains utilities, ultrafast full-fibre broadband and excellent mobile coverage. A garage provides private parking, and double glazing improves thermal comfort. The development dates from the early 1990s and presents as well maintained for immediate occupation by someone seeking comfort and convenience rather than a major renovation project.
Important cautions: the property is leasehold with 57 years remaining. This limited lease length may restrict mortgage availability and affect future resale value. Buyers should obtain specialist legal and mortgage advice before committing. The service charge is approximately £1,412 per year and ground rent is nominal — factor these ongoing costs into affordability calculations.
This apartment is for applicants aged 60 or over and pensions must be in receipt. It will appeal to downsizers or retirees prioritising town-centre accessibility, on-site support and step-free living, provided they are comfortable with the lease term and electric heating.
