EX1 1AT
1 bed 1 bath Flat
Compact city-centre home or rental with low running costs and strong location appeal.
One-bedroom second-floor flat, approximately 334 sq ft
A compact one-bedroom flat in the heart of Exeter city centre, ideal for first-time buyers or buy-to-let investors seeking a central, low-maintenance pied-à-terre. The apartment occupies part of a converted Georgian corner building, benefitting from traditional sash-style windows and a modern fitted kitchen with appliances. Gas central heating, a shower room and communal access keep running costs straightforward and practical.
At around 334 sq ft the accommodation is small and best suited to single occupancy or as an investment; internal storage is limited and rooms are compact. The property is leasehold with about 102 years remaining and a low ground rent of £25 per year. Council tax is very cheap and there is no flood risk, which helps running-cost predictability for owners and tenants.
The location is a strong selling point: walking distance to the historic quay, shops, cafés, theatres and frequent bus routes. The surrounding area is a cosmopolitan, student-focused neighbourhood with a wide range of amenities and strong rental demand, though city-centre living brings typical noise and footfall associated with urban life. Broadband speeds are average and mobile signal is excellent.
Potential buyers should note the building is a period conversion above street-level units with communal entrances and limited communal storage. While the flat is presented in modern style, its compact footprint and city-centre setting mean it’s not suited to buyers needing outdoor space or extensive room sizes. For investors this offers straightforward lettability; for first-time buyers it presents an affordable city-centre step onto the property ladder.
