Chain-free town-centre flat with strong rental potential for investors.
Second-floor one-bedroom apartment, circa 565 sq ft
A compact second-floor apartment in the heart of Shepton Mallet’s High Street, offered chain free and ready for a new owner. The property occupies circa 565 sq ft with one double bedroom, a modern open-plan living room/kitchen and a bathroom — a straightforward layout that suits rental demand.
The building retains a Victorian stone façade and high ceilings on upper floors, lending period character that stands out on the high street. Fast broadband and excellent mobile signal support modern tenants and short-term lets, while the town-centre location puts shops, transport and local amenities on the doorstep.
Practical considerations: the flat is leasehold with a modest service charge (£200) and small ground rent (£25). Heating is via electric storage heaters and external walls are likely uninsulated — improvements could reduce running costs and increase appeal. The wider area is relatively deprived with above-average crime rates, so buyer/investor pricing and lettings strategy should reflect local market conditions.
Overall this is a pragmatic buy-to-let opportunity for an investor willing to manage modest upgrades and match rental pricing to the local market. The chain-free sale and central position give flexibility to achieve rental occupancy quickly once marketed appropriately.
