This well-presented one-bedroom second-floor apartment sits in a sought-after over-55 riverside development in central Taunton, with a private balcony overlooking the Somerset cricket ground. At around 604 sq ft the layout is efficient: a generous living room, double bedroom, practical kitchen, bathroom and useful store cupboard. The building provides lift access and communal amenities aimed at independent retired living.
Residents benefit from on-site management, an owners' lounge with direct cricket-ground views, a guest suite, communal laundry and a 24-hour Appello emergency call system for added peace of mind. Covered residents’ parking is available on a first-come, first-served basis. The property is offered chain-free and has a long lease of approximately 109 years remaining.
Running costs are a significant consideration: the estate/management charge is shown as about £3,187 per annum and ground rent around £459 pa. Council Tax sits at Band F and is described as expensive. EPC rating C indicates reasonable efficiency, but purchasers should allow for typical maintenance in a communal retirement scheme.
The apartment will suit someone seeking low-stairs living in the town centre with easy access to shops, transport and local amenities. The town-centre location delivers excellent mobile and broadband coverage, but the area is noted as very deprived with very high recorded crime levels — buyers should weigh central convenience against local crime statistics and seek any relevant safety information.
