Set within a period red-brick building and a short walk from Minehead seafront, this ground-floor one-bedroom apartment suits someone looking to downsize or retire locally. The apartment feels light and contemporary thanks to a skylight in the kitchen/diner, wood-effect flooring throughout and modern gloss kitchen units. The layout is linear and efficient: an open kitchen/diner, separate lounge, double bedroom and a tiled shower room. The bedroom is a comfortable double for the footprint, and living spaces are ready to move into.
Outside offers low-maintenance convenience rather than gardens to potter in: gated access leads to a gravelled parking area and a small enclosed outdoor space. Off-street parking is included, and the property benefits from mains services and wifi-controlled electric radiators for individual heating control. Broadband and mobile signals are serviceable for everyday use (max broadband around 80/20 Mbps).
Practical considerations are important: the flat is leasehold (details to confirm) and sits in an area classified as ‘communal retirement’ with higher local crime levels, which may concern some buyers. The accommodation is compact at about 457 sq ft and arranged in a narrow linear plan, which limits layout flexibility and storage compared with larger flats. Council tax is low (Band A), and flood risk is very low.
This property is a sensible, move-in-ready option for a single occupant or couple seeking a low-upkeep coastal base close to amenities and the seafront. It will particularly suit buyers prioritising location, easy parking and modern fixtures, while those needing larger, flexible living space or full ownership (freehold) should note the size and leasehold tenure before viewing.
