Well-presented two-bedroom retirement apartment arranged over a single level, designed for comfortable downsizing close to Taunton town centre. The living/dining room is dual-aspect with two balconies, offering natural light and outdoor space without garden maintenance. The main bedroom has an en-suite; the second double bedroom and separate shower room provide flexibility for guests or hobbies.
Lock House Court is a modern, purpose-built development with communal lounge, laundry and off-street parking managed via the house manager. A very long lease (992 years) gives security, and the apartment is offered in move-in condition with integrated kitchen appliances and double glazing.
Practical running costs to note: heating is by electric storage heaters, council tax is above average, and the current service charge and ground rent are £3,759 and £495 per year respectively. These cover communal services and building maintenance but will affect monthly outgoings.
Location is a key strength — a short walk to Taunton Train Station, local shops and the Somerset County Cricket Ground — making it an easy base for social life and travel. Overall this flat suits someone seeking low-maintenance, secure living with ready access to urban amenities.
