A stylish, newly renovated one-bedroom ground-floor flat in the heart of Exeter offers immediate move-in convenience for a first-time buyer. The open-plan living and kitchen area is bright and practical, with French doors that open onto a private terrace — a rare city-centre benefit for morning coffee or fresh air.
The property sits within a purpose-built block constructed in 2011, with double glazing and an electric heating system. The lease has 108 years remaining, service charge is £1,392 per year and ground rent is £200 per year; these predictable costs suit buyers wanting straightforward budget planning.
Be candid: the apartment is located in a very high-crime, very deprived part of the city and lies within a constrained, student-dense neighbourhood. Heating is by electric room heaters rather than a central system, and the footprint is compact at around 484 sq ft — ideal for a single resident or couple but limited for growing families.
Overall this is a low-maintenance, contemporary home in a central location with strong rental and commuter appeal. It works well for a first-time buyer seeking an affordable entry to city living or an investor after a city-centre let, provided the local social and safety context is considered.
