Chain-free and compact, this first-floor one-bedroom flat in Mayenne Place is offered with immediate vacant possession and scope to add value. The apartment sits in a 1950s purpose-built block in a well-established residential part of Devizes, close to town amenities, the canal and good local schools. The layout includes a reception room, separate kitchen, double bedroom and bathroom — a straightforward canvas for a sympathetically refurbished home or rental unit.
The property requires full refurbishment, so buyers should factor renovation costs into their budget. Practical positives include double glazing, mains gas central heating with boiler and radiators, a long 125-year lease and a low annual ground rent (£10). Service charge is approximately £364 per year and council tax sits in the very cheap band A.
Parking is on-street nearby and communal grounds are modest; there is no private garden. The flat’s size (around 496 sq ft) makes it most suitable for a single occupant, couple, first-time buyer or investor seeking a lower-entry purchase in Devizes. Flood risk is low and local crime levels are reported as low.
In short: a budget-friendly, chain-free opportunity for someone prepared to carry out improvement work — buy to refurbish, occupy after modernisation, or add to a rental portfolio with clear long-term lease security.
