This compact second-floor two-bedroom flat offers an affordable entry into Yeovil with immediate availability thanks to no onward chain. The accommodation is well proportioned for its size, with gas central heating, UPVC double glazing and a private garage — practical features that reduce running costs and maintenance chores.
The kitchen and some internal finishes are dated (1980s style) and will benefit from modernization; this presents clear potential to add value either for a first-time buyer wanting to personalise a home or an investor targeting rental yield after minimal works. The long lease (over 900 years) and low ground rent are strong tenure advantages.
Location is convenient for local shops, services and schools, and the block backs onto a green hillside offering pleasant outlooks from higher floors. Be aware the wider area records higher crime and significant deprivation indicators, which may affect long-term resale or lettability for some buyers.
Practical running costs are reasonable: a below-average service charge and low council tax. Broadband speeds are fast and mobile signal average. Overall this flat suits a buyer seeking an affordable, low-maintenance home to update, or a landlord looking for a straightforward town-centre investment.
