Summary - 31 NORTHFIELD GARDENS TAUNTON TA1 1XN
2 bed 1 bath Retirement Property
Convenient first-floor apartment near town and park with onsite support.
Purpose-built first-floor retirement apartment, no onward chain
Located on the first floor of a well-regarded purpose-built retirement development, this two-bedroom apartment offers convenient, low-maintenance living a short walk from Taunton town centre and French Weir Park. The bright living/dining room and refitted kitchen create an inviting day-to-day space, while a modern shower room and useful entrance storage add practical comfort.
The development provides security and support with a 24-hour careline and an on-site house manager, plus communal gardens and resident/visitor parking. The property is double glazed and presented in good decorative order, ready for immediate occupation with no onward chain.
Buyers should note material leasehold considerations: just 58 years remain on the lease, which may make some mortgage lenders reluctant to lend. Heating is electric with room heaters rather than a central system, and the EPC is D. The area records higher-than-average crime levels, which could concern some purchasers.
Overall this apartment will suit downsizers seeking convenience, community support and proximity to town amenities, or investors aware of lease and lending limitations. There is potential to personalise and update heating and energy performance, subject to budget and leaseholder permissions.
