This two-bedroom end-of-terrace in Watchet is offered through a Section 106 Affordable Housing scheme, sold at a 25% discount to open market value for qualifying local buyers. The compact home includes a conservatory, enclosed rear garden and allocated off-street parking — practical features for first-time buyers seeking low-maintenance living close to the town and local transport links.
Inside, the layout is traditional and efficient: a lounge opening to a bright conservatory, fitted kitchen with gas hob and integrated oven, ground-floor cloakroom, and two upstairs bedrooms with a family bathroom. Gas central heating and double glazing are fitted throughout, giving straightforward comfort and energy efficiency for everyday use.
Notable restrictions and practical points are clear: the sale is subject to S106 local-occupancy rules and purchasers must be qualified by Somerset Council before completing. The house is small (approximately 539 sq ft) and the plot is modest, so it suits first-time buyers or those downsizing rather than growing families. Prospective buyers should commission their own checks on services and appliances, as no tests have been carried out and measurements are for guidance.
The property sits on the edge of Watchet, a historic harbour town with basic amenities, schooling and easy access to the Quantock Hills and A39. Crime risk and flood risk are low, broadband and mobile signal are strong, and council tax is inexpensive — all positives for a low-cost starter home. Buyers should balance the affordability and location against the S106 occupancy condition and the small overall size.
