Set on the second floor and overlooking the Kennet and Avon canal, this two-bedroom flat offers a practical, well-located entry into Devizes’ housing market. The living room, fitted kitchen and two double bedrooms sit within a modern three-storey building, and the apartment benefits from double glazing and allocated parking for two cars.
This is a genuine first-time-buy or buy-to-let prospect: the lease has 963 years remaining and the service charge is about £1,080 per year (£90 per month). The property is currently let at £875pcm and the tenant wishes to remain in situ, although notice can be given if required.
Buyers should note the heating is by electric storage heaters and there is no mains gas; the EPC rating is D. The property is part of a communal development in an area described as ageing urban communities/communal retirement, so some buyers should expect communal maintenance arrangements. Council tax band is low (Band B).
Enjoy peaceful canal-side walks, easy access to town facilities, and local schools with good Ofsted ratings. Overall, this compact 640 sq ft flat is a sensible, low-risk purchase for first-time buyers seeking affordability or investors seeking immediate rental income, provided they accept the current tenancy and the electric heating setup.
