This compact two-bedroom mid-terrace in Taunton offers practical, low-maintenance living for a first-time buyer or small household. At about 606 sq ft it’s efficient in layout with a modern-style kitchen, spiral staircase and a rear garden that requires little upkeep. The property is freehold and double-glazed, built in the 1980s, and benefits from two off-street parking spaces.
The home is heated by electric storage heaters and runs on electricity as the main fuel — suitable for buyers seeking a simple, low-servicing system but potentially higher running costs compared with gas. Broadband speeds are reported as slow, and the area records above-average crime and very high deprivation scores; buyers should factor local services and safety measures into their plans.
This lot is being sold through a modern auction method. Successful bidders must sign a reservation agreement and pay a non-refundable reservation fee (4.5% of the purchase price, minimum £6,600), plus a £300 pack fee. The auction route can suit cash-ready buyers or those confident of arranging mortgage finance within the required timescale, but carries additional upfront costs and administrative requirements.
For a buyer prepared to accept electric heating and slower broadband, the property represents an affordable entry into Taunton’s housing market with immediate two-bedroom accommodation, parking, and a small garden. It also holds potential for modest improvement or yield for a buy-to-let investor who understands the auction process and local market conditions.
