- Grade II listed status — restrictions on alterations
- Leasehold with 118 years remaining (125 from 2018)

A generous two-bedroom, two-ensuite apartment in a converted Grade II listed building, offered with no onward chain and allocated parking. The open-plan living, dining and kitchen is finished to a high specification with granite worktops, integrated Bosch appliances and contemporary finishes, creating an attractive turnkey home or lettable asset in Taunton town centre. The principal outlook is to the internal courtyard/parking rather than open views.
This leasehold flat has 118 years remaining and practical flexibility for owners: subletting, short-term lets and Airbnb are permitted. Service charge and ground rent are modest for a managed building, and the property benefits from fast broadband and excellent mobile signal — useful for remote working or short-stay guests.
Important considerations: the Grade II listing protects the building and will restrict external and some internal alterations; any significant changes will require listed-building consent. The immediate neighbourhood records very high crime and is described as very deprived, which may affect resale, tenant demand and insurance costs. There is no private garden and the apartment’s main outlook is over the communal courtyard rather than open countryside or river views.
Overall this is a well-proportioned, modern-luxe apartment suited to investors seeking a central Taunton rental or professionals wanting a low-maintenance town centre base. Buyers should budget for ongoing service charges and confirm any alteration plans against the listed-building constraints before purchase.
