Affordable two-bed flat with parking and long lease, ideal for first-time buyers or investors..
- Two bedrooms in an open-plan first-floor flat
This compact two-bedroom first-floor flat offers low-maintenance town-centre living with a very long lease (999 years from 1988, c.962 years remaining) and an allocated off-road parking space — a real asset in central Bridgwater. The open-plan living/kitchen/diner benefits from large double-glazed windows (replaced January 2024) that flood the space with light and help reduce heat loss. At approximately 556 sq ft, the layout suits first-time buyers or buy-to-let investors seeking an easy-to-manage property close to shops, transport and local amenities.
The property is well-presented and modern in construction (built 2007–2011), with mains services and a straightforward communal arrangement. Service charges are c. £1,013.97 per year (Jan–Dec 2025), and council tax is Band A (very low). Broadband speeds are fast and mobile signal is excellent — useful for home working or letting to commuters.
Important considerations: the flat is small and will suit buyers who prioritise location over generous internal space. The wider area is classified as very deprived with very high crime levels; buyers should consider local social conditions when assessing suitability. The advertised EPC is TBA and the internal description lists electric storage heating — confirm heating type and energy performance as part of due diligence.
Overall, this is a practical, low-upkeep home or rental investment with long lease security and parking. It will particularly appeal to first-time buyers seeking an affordable foothold in town or investors wanting a central rental unit, provided they are comfortable with the local area profile and size constraints.
