Compact flat needing modernisation; central location with communal green space and parking.
Chain free one-bedroom second-floor apartment
This second-floor, one-double-bedroom apartment is offered chain free and provides a straightforward purchase for a first-time buyer or investor. The flat occupies an average-sized layout with a generous living room, separate kitchen and bathroom, and benefits from double glazing, mains gas central heating and residents' parking. The 125-year lease and low ground rent (circa £10) make the tenure simple to manage; the annual service charge is approximately £1,239.62.
The property requires full refurbishment and updating throughout: the kitchen and bathroom date from the 1970s and will need modernisation. Rooms are well proportioned for the size (around 46 sqm / 509 sqft), so the internal layout lends itself to a cosmetic renovation to create comfortable living or to increase rental value. Broadband and mobile signal are strong and the area records low crime and an affluent, stable neighbourhood profile.
Externally the block sits on well-maintained communal lawns with a rear bin store and drying area. The flat is a short walk from Devizes town centre, local shops, bus routes and countryside and canal walks, which will appeal to those seeking easy access to amenities and leisure. Buyers should note the communal nature of the building and the ongoing service charge contribution.
In short: a manageable leasehold purchase with clear refurbishment scope, useful location and low running costs, best suited to someone prepared to invest time and budget to modernise.
