Chain-free ground-floor flat with garden, parking and long lease — ideal first-time buy.
Chain-free ground-floor 2-bed with private enclosed rear garden
A chain-free, ground-floor two-bedroom flat set within an Edwardian terrace, offered with a long 999-year lease and a 50% share of the freehold. The apartment includes a private enclosed rear garden and an off-street parking space accessed via a rear gate — convenient for an EV 'plug-in'. Its compact footprint (circa 780 sq ft) is well suited to first-time buyers or downsizers seeking easy single-level living close to town amenities.
Positioned within walking distance of Yeovil Town Centre, Penn Mill rail links and Yeovil District Hospital, the location scores well for transport and everyday convenience. Broadband speeds are fast and mobile signal is excellent, supporting home working or streaming. Heating is mains gas via boiler and radiators, and the property retains period character from its pre-1900 construction.
Buyers should note some practical drawbacks: the cavity walls are assumed uninsulated, double glazing installation date is unknown and may need upgrading, and the area records higher crime levels than average. Local school provision is mixed (one nearby primary requires improvement), and the flat is average-sized internally — buyers seeking a turnkey modern finish should expect some updating and possible insulation work.
Overall this is a straightforward, low-cost-entry apartment with long lease security, outside space and parking — a practical choice for first-time buyers or those wanting a low-maintenance home with clear scope for value-adding improvements.
