A compact, characterful one-bedroom ground-floor flat in central Weston-super-Mare, offered with no onward chain and a long lease (900+ years). The property sits in a Victorian terrace and retains period touches such as sash windows, coved ceilings and a bay window that bring light and charm to the living spaces.
Accommodation comprises an entrance hall, double bedroom, separate kitchen, bathroom and a bright living room. The flat is presented in neutral decor with wood-effect flooring and benefits from gas central heating. A communal rear courtyard provides a simple outdoor space. The active management company charges £80pcm (includes building insurance) and the council tax is band A.
This home suits a first-time buyer or buy-to-let investor seeking a central, low-maintenance pied-à-terre with excellent local transport links. Be aware the surrounding area scores high for crime and is in a very deprived ward, which may affect resale and rental desirability. The flat’s small overall size means limited storage and living space compared with larger homes.
Overall this is an affordable, chain-free entry into the Weston market with strong location benefits and clear, manageable running costs. The building’s period character and very long lease are positives, but buyers should factor area crime statistics and the flat’s compact footprint into their decision.
