Summary - Flat 2, 26, Monks Road EX4 7AZ
2 bed 1 bath Flat
Newly upgraded, long lease and ideal for first-time buyers or investors.
Chain free two-bedroom first-floor flat, approx 674 sq ft
A bright two-bedroom first-floor flat in Mount Pleasant, ready to move into after recent upgrades. The sellers have completed a new kitchen over the past four years, installed an Ideal boiler, updated electrics to current regulations, fitted UPVC double glazing and replaced flooring, blinds and paintwork — practical improvements that reduce immediate maintenance. The flat has a long lease (approximately 154 years) and a share of freehold, sold chain free.
The apartment sits in a traditional Victorian terrace and benefits from a light bay-fronted living space, two double bedrooms, a modern shower room and a separate WC. Its compact footprint (circa 674 sq ft) and low council tax make it suitable for first-time buyers or buy-to-let investors seeking a straightforward, economical purchase in a city location. Good transport links, nearby RD&E hospital, Polsloe Bridge station, bus routes and local amenities are all within easy walking distance.
Buyers should note the local context: the wider area is classified as a student neighbourhood, which can bring higher footfall and typical student-area activity. Service charges are described as payable on an “as and when” basis, so budgeting for irregular communal costs is important. The building has cavity walls assumed to lack insulation, which could affect long-term energy efficiency improvements.
Overall, this is a practical, low-hassle apartment with recent mechanical and decorative investment, a long lease and share of freehold — appealing for those seeking an economical city base or a rental opportunity, provided they accept the nearby student-oriented character and variable service charge arrangements.
