Bright, modern and well-proportioned, this waterside two-bedroom apartment offers a practical first home or buy-to-let close to Taunton town centre. The second-floor position brings far-reaching riverside views, a private balcony and an open-plan kitchen/sitting/dining area that maximises light and usable space across 731 sq ft.
Practical benefits include lift access to all floors, secure gated entry, one allocated off-street parking space and a long 999-year lease. The building’s maintenance and communal insurance are covered by an annual service charge of £2,413, and a ground rent of £300 per year applies — both payable quarterly.
Location is a key advantage: a short walk to Taunton station, the County Ground and riverside walkways, with fast broadband and excellent mobile signal. Important drawbacks to note are the area’s very high recorded crime level and the ongoing service and ground rent costs, which may affect running costs and lettability for some buyers.
Overall this apartment suits buyers seeking a low-maintenance, centrally located property with modern fittings and long lease security. It’s equally viable for first-time owners wanting move-in-ready accommodation or investors targeting convenient, high-demand town-centre lets, provided the communal charges and local crime profile are considered.
