This first-floor, two-double-bedroom apartment offers practical living in central Taunton with easy access to Musgrove Park Hospital and the town centre. At about 721 sq ft the layout is traditional and straightforward: an entrance hall with storage, a living room opening to a compact modern kitchen, two double bedrooms and a family bathroom. An allocated off-street parking space is included, and the property is being sold chain-free for a quick move.
The flat is leasehold with 87 years remaining; annual service charges average £1,281 and ground rent is £25. Heating is by electric storage heaters and double glazing was installed before 2002, so buyers should factor potential upgrades into budgets. Council tax is described as cheap and broadband speeds are ultrafast full-fibre, which supports home working or professional needs.
This apartment will suit first-time buyers seeking an affordable city-base, hospital staff needing proximity to work, or investors targeting decent rental demand. The block dates from the late 1970s/early 1980s and presents straightforward refurbishment potential rather than cosmetic luxury. Note the property sits in a higher-crime area, which may affect insurance or lettings; prospective buyers should carry out their own checks and surveys.
Overall, the property presents immediate occupancy or rental opportunity with clear scope to add value through heating, glazing and cosmetic improvements. The combination of location, parking and chain-free status makes it a practical, accessible purchase for buyers prepared to manage the leasehold costs and upgrade needs.
