This upper two-bedroom flat in Pilton offers practical, affordable living with private outdoor space and off-street parking. The layout includes a bay-front living room, fitted kitchen, two double bedrooms and a bathroom; a floored attic adds useful storage or potential conversion subject to consent. Heating is gas central and windows are double-glazed, helping reduce running costs in a modest-sized home.
Outside, the property benefits from a private multi-car driveway to the front and a good-sized rear garden with shed/workshop and summerhouse — rare extras for a flat. Broadband speeds are fast and mobile signal is excellent, supporting home working or streaming.
Buyers should note the local area is classified as very deprived/hard-pressed, which may affect resale demand and local services. Interior finishes are basic and there is clear scope for modernisation to increase comfort and value. Overall this freehold upper flat suits a first-time buyer or buy-to-let investor seeking a practical, well-located property with garden and parking.
Important practical points: council tax is described as affordable and there is no flooding risk. The property’s mid-20th-century construction appears sound externally but internal updating will likely be required to achieve contemporary specification and higher rental/market value.
