This second-floor, two-bedroom apartment in central Devizes offers a compact, modern home or buy-to-let near shops, canal walks and schools. The layout makes efficient use of 432 sq ft with an open-plan kitchen/living area and two modest bedrooms — ideal for a first-time buyer or investor seeking a low-entry city-centre property.
Practical benefits include allocated off-street parking, lift access, a recently replaced water/heating boiler (Jan 2024) and a brand-new fridge/freezer included. The property has double glazing and an EPC rating of C, and it is chain-free with a very long lease of 987 years, reducing long-term lease concerns.
Be aware of material points: the flat uses electric heating with room heaters rather than gas, and annual service charges are relatively high at £2,106.34 with a small ground rent of £125.45. The immediate area records above-average crime and higher deprivation indices, and nearby primary schools have mixed Ofsted ratings — some require improvement while local secondaries are rated Good.
Overall, this is a practical, low-maintenance option for buyers wanting central Devizes living or a straightforward rental purchase. The compact size and running costs (electric heating, service charge) suit those prioritising location and convenience over large internal space.
