This ground-floor, two-bedroom retirement flat offers low-maintenance living in central Taunton, a short walk from shops, services and public transport. The sitting/dining room, fitted kitchen and shower room sit within 592 sq ft of practical accommodation designed for over-55s. Residents benefit from attractive communal gardens, an overnight guest suite and private access.
The building’s traditional red-brick frontage and sash-style windows give a period feel while the flat’s Energy Rating C (75) reflects reasonable efficiency. The development includes limited residents’ parking and well-kept communal grounds — useful for socialising or quiet outdoor time without private garden upkeep.
Important practical points: the property is leasehold with 88 years remaining and limited off-street parking; prospective buyers should budget for ground rent/service charges and confirm exact figures. The surrounding postcode shows high crime and very high area deprivation, which may concern some buyers and affect rental prospects.
This flat is well suited to someone downsizing who wants easy town-centre access, low-maintenance living and communal support. It’s offered with no onward chain, making it suitable for a quick move; investors should note the local area indicators and factor running costs and lease details into any purchase appraisal.
