Set on the first floor of a well-maintained red-brick block, this newly renovated two-bedroom flat offers a generous 898 sq ft layout ideal for first-time buyers. The current owner has refitted a Magnet kitchen, installed new double glazing in 2024 and fitted modern electric radiators, so the flat is largely move-in ready. A lift serves the block and an allocated parking space sits beneath the building for convenient access.
The accommodation includes two double bedrooms, a separate sitting room, kitchen/dining room, bathroom, separate WC and useful storage/utility space. Communal grounds are well kept and provide a pleasant outlook over established trees; the property is within walking distance of Taunton town centre and local amenities. Broadband and mobile signals are strong and there is no flood risk for this location.
Running costs are straightforward but notable: the flat is leasehold (long lease remaining) with an average service charge of about £1,764 per year and moderate council tax. There is no private garden and communal maintenance is managed, which suits buyers seeking low-external-maintenance living. Prospective purchasers should also note a higher-than-average local crime score for the area.
Overall this is an attractive, low-upkeep apartment with good local convenience and rental potential. It will suit first-time buyers wanting space and modern finishes, and investors looking for a straightforward, well-presented buy-to-let with parking and long lease certainty.
