Set on the ground floor of a handsome Victorian building, this exceptionally large two-bedroom conversion offers huge scope for someone after space and period character close to Taunton town centre. High ceilings, bay windows, original fireplaces and generous reception rooms create an impressive canvas for refurbishment. The flat includes an additional cellar and two store sheds, plus off-street parking for two cars and a private rear garden with small terrace.
This property will be sold at public auction (Thursday 11th December 2025) with a guide price of £150,000. It is leasehold with a very long lease (968 years) and is offered chain free — attractive to buyers who need a rapid completion. The apartment is in need of renovation and upgrading throughout; the vendors note an Energy Rating of F-60 which reflects the current condition and potential for improvement.
Practical considerations: broadband speeds are reported slow, and the local area records higher crime levels, so immediate security and connectivity upgrades should be factored into any renovation budget. Conversely, the location is convenient for Musgrove Park Hospital, local colleges and town centre amenities, and nearby schools include several rated Good and Outstanding.
This is a clear opportunity for an investor seeking a large rental unit or a buyer looking for a spacious home with strong character and long-term upside once modernised. Expect to budget for refurbishment works and energy-efficiency improvements to unlock full value.
