This ground-floor one-bedroom apartment sits quietly at the rear of a historic brick building in central Exeter. It has its own entrance, a compact, efficient layout and is offered chain free — ready to move into for a first-time buyer or to let immediately for an investor.
The property combines period character with practical living: sash-style windows, a pleasant communal garden and a secure entrance. Service charge and ground rent are modest for a city-centre flat, and the lease has 151 years remaining, giving long-term security for owner-occupiers or landlords.
Location is the main draw — immediate access to shops, cafes, bars and the university makes this a strong commuter or rental proposition. The apartment’s rear position keeps it comparatively peaceful despite being in the heart of the city.
Buyers should be aware of material local factors. Crime levels in the area are very high and the wider area is classified as deprived, which may affect desirability and rental yields. Broadband speeds are average and some communal maintenance costs apply. The flat is small, so it suits a single occupant, couple, or rental buyer rather than someone needing larger family space.
