A compact split-level apartment in the heart of Wincanton, offered with a sitting tenant—suited to investors seeking immediate rental income. Set within a handsome Georgian mid-terrace, the open-plan living space benefits from high ceilings and large front windows that flood the room with light. The newly fitted kitchen and neutral décor reduce short-term maintenance and appeal to broad tenant demand.
Practicalities are straightforward: a very long lease (979 years), modest service charge (c. £350 pa) and low ground rent (£150 pa, with scheduled reviews) keep ownership costs clear. The property is listed Grade II, so any alterations will require consent and may limit renovation potential; this is important for buyers considering conversion or major work. Heating is by electric room heaters and the walls are likely uninsulated sandstone/limestone, so energy performance is limited (EPC: D).
The apartment is compact at about 431 sq ft but cleverly arranged: a generous bedroom accommodates a king-size bed, and the ensuite layout provides separation of shower and WC. Secondary glazing and double-glazed ventilation windows improve comfort, while the central location places shops, cafes and amenities close by—handy for tenants.
Note the material considerations: the building’s listed status can complicate changes, the property relies on electric heating and likely lacks wall insulation, and the area records higher crime levels than average. These factors affect running costs and management responsibilities but are reflected in the asking price and strong rental appeal in a small town centre setting.
