Summary - 20, Metropole Court TA24 5QR
1 bed 1 bath Apartment
Second-floor bay-front apartment with stunning Minehead Bay views and long lease.
Panoramic sea and countryside views from bay-front sitting room and bedroom
A rare seafront apartment in a grand Victorian conversion, Metropole Court offers genuine coastal living with panoramic views across Minehead Bay. The large bay-fronted sitting room and double bedroom both capture the outlook, while high ceilings, moulded covings and replacement double-glazed sash windows preserve period character and light.
Practical day-to-day living is straightforward: a refitted shower room with walk-in shower, a kitchen/breakfast room and a useful first-floor store/office provide functional space. The building has a lift to all floors, communal gardens, and a private garage to the rear. The long lease (999 years) and reasonably low council tax (Band A) are attractive ownership features.
Notable running costs and constraints are clear and factual. The apartment is leasehold with an annual service charge of about £2,200 (covers buildings insurance, lift and communal maintenance). Heating is by electric storage heaters and mains electricity; there is assumed lack of wall insulation in the original stone walls, so heating costs can be higher than modern homes.
This apartment will suit a downsizer or someone seeking a comfortable, low-maintenance coastal home with period charm and superb views. It also offers straightforward investor potential because of the location and long lease, but purchasers should budget for communal service charges, potentially higher energy costs and ongoing redecoration works in communal areas.
