This ground-floor one-bedroom garden flat on Locking Road offers an affordable entry into Weston-super-Mare with no onward chain and a 360° virtual tour for remote viewing. The open-plan living room and kitchen have high ceilings and patio doors that lead directly to a small private rear garden — a rare outdoor space for a flat of this size. UPVC double glazing and gas central heating provide immediate comfort; the EPC rating is C.
At about 302 sq ft, the accommodation is compact and best suited to a single occupant, couple, or buy-to-let investor seeking a low-price purchase in a rental-demand area. The flat occupies a Victorian semi-detached building with attractive bay windows and period character, but the property will benefit from updating to modern standards and cosmetic refurbishment in parts.
Practical points to note: this is a leasehold flat, set within a communal entrance, and the wider area is classified as deprived with higher local crime rates—factors that may affect resale or rental prospects. The building’s stone walls are likely uninsulated and typical late-Victorian construction means some further maintenance or improvements (insulation, aesthetic updating) may be required.
For buyers looking for value and potential, the flat ticks important basics: fast broadband, excellent mobile signal, nearby schools, local shops and public transport. Investors and first-time buyers who prioritise location, garden access and low entry price will find clear upside once modernisation and basic upgrades are completed.
