2 bed 1 bath Flat
Two-bedroom central flat with allocated parking and no onward chain..
Well-presented 2nd-floor flat with period features and high ceilings
A well-presented two-bedroom second-floor flat in the heart of Taunton, offered with secure allocated underground parking and no onward chain. The apartment sits within a period brick building, benefitting from large arched windows, high ceilings and generous natural light that give the rooms a characterful, airy feel. At approximately 570 sq ft, the layout is practical for central living or a rental, with a fitted master bedroom, further bedroom, living room, kitchen and a bathroom with a walk-in bath.
This property is suited to buyers seeking a town-centre investment or a convenient home with easy access to shops, transport links and local amenities. The share of freehold and current permissions to sublet, short-term let and use on Airbnb increase rental flexibility; lift access and secure communal areas add everyday convenience. Allocated off-street underground parking is a notable advantage in this central location.
There are material points to consider: the lease has 86 years remaining and both service charge and ground rent total £1,695.71 pa (review due April 2026). Pets are not permitted, and the area records a very high crime level — factors that may affect long-term appeal to some buyers. The flat is described as well presented but sits in a compact 570 sq ft footprint, so buyers should view to confirm space and finish before proceeding.
Overall, this is an attractive central flat with strong rental potential and period character. It will particularly suit investors or purchasers prioritising central convenience and parking, provided they accept the lease length, service charge and local area considerations.
