This compact two-bedroom Georgian house sits in the heart of Taunton, offered chain-free with the option to buy with a tenant in place for immediate rental income. Recently redecorated throughout, the property presents a clean, neutral interior and a ready-to-move-in feel for first-time buyers or buy-to-let investors seeking town-centre convenience.
The ground floor features a bright triple-aspect living room, small contemporary kitchen/diner and a useful downstairs W.C. Upstairs are two bedrooms and a family bathroom; ceilings are low-to-medium and overall living space is modest at about 492 sq ft, so the layout suits those who prioritise location over large proportions.
Built before 1900 with cob walls and internal insulation, the house has character but may need ongoing monitoring for damp in places and occasional maintenance associated with older construction. The property benefits from double glazing (installed after 2002), gas central heating, excellent mobile signal and fast broadband — practical strengths for modern living.
Location is a primary asset: town-centre shops, cafes and transport links are within easy walking distance, and the property sits in the Bishop Fox's School catchment. Note the local crime level is very high; purchasers should factor this into security planning and insurance costs. Parking requires a residential permit application.
Overall this is a low-maintenance, centrally located starter home or rental unit with clear advantages and a few tangible trade-offs typical of older, small town-centre properties.
