Compact over-55s apartment with long lease and communal facilities close to Taunton centre.
Second-floor two-bedroom retirement apartment with en-suite
A purpose-built, over-55s two-bedroom apartment on the second floor of Beech Court, set within well-kept communal gardens and walking distance of Taunton town centre. The apartment offers a bright living room with sliding doors to a Juliette balcony, a practical fitted kitchen, two bedrooms (master with en-suite) and communal facilities including a residents' lounge, laundry and guest suites.
This home will suit someone downsizing who values convenience, communal life and low-external-maintenance living. The lease is long (124 years remaining) and the EPC is a sensible C; broadband and mobile coverage are excellent for staying connected. Off-street residents' parking is available on a first-come, first-served basis.
Notable costs and considerations are clear: the annual service charge is comparatively high at about £4,746.96 and ground rent is £150 per year. Heating is electric, which can increase bills compared with gas, and the kitchen shows older styling that may appeal to someone happy to refresh rather than requiring immediate replacement. The wider area records higher crime levels, which prospective buyers should factor in.
Overall this is a compact, well-located retirement apartment offering practical communal amenities, long lease security and straightforward accommodation for someone looking to downsize close to Taunton's facilities. Viewings recommended to assess room sizes and communal provisions in person.
