This well-presented first-floor apartment offers two double bedrooms and a generous sitting room with a bay window, set above a traditional Edwardian shopfront in the heart of Minehead. At about 776 sq ft, the layout feels spacious for a starter home, with a separate kitchen/dining room and a well-appointed bathroom. Double glazing and period features add character while the town-centre location puts shops, services and transport links on your doorstep.
The property is leasehold with a long remaining term (963 years) and a modest ground rent of £100, making ownership straightforward for buyers on a budget. Heating is provided by electric room heaters and hot water is stored in a cylinder; this keeps maintenance simple but may mean higher running costs compared with gas. Council Tax band A keeps ongoing charges low.
This apartment will suit first-time buyers or investors seeking a centrally located rental in a popular seaside town. The building is of solid brick construction (likely without cavity insulation) and was built before 1900, so buyers should consider secondary glazing/insulation upgrades if energy efficiency is important. A full survey is recommended — services and appliances have not been independently tested.
Note the local area records higher crime rates than average, and the property sits within an ageing urban community and communal retirement classification; buyers should consider local amenities, demographic mix and personal security preferences before committing. Overall, this is a roomy, characterful flat with clear potential for a comfortable home or a straightforward rental investment.
