The dual-aspect living room opens onto the balcony for easy outdoor seating, and the apartment includes a modern fitted kitchen with integrated appliances and a useful utility/storage cupboard.

The apartment has an allocated off-street parking space and accepts pets, making day-to-day life straightforward and sociable.
Practical considerations: the property is leasehold (999-year lease from 2017) with an annual service charge of £2,707.65 and ground rent of £425 per year. Heating is by electric storage heaters, and residents should allow for individual electricity bills. The service charge covers building maintenance, lifts, insurance and the emergency systems listed.
This apartment suits a buyer seeking low-maintenance, sociable retirement living with good local amenities and excellent transport links (Taunton station close by). The elevated outlook, modern kitchen and communal facilities are clear strengths; prospective buyers should factor ongoing service charges and electric heating into affordability calculations.
