A well presented, two bedroom second floor retirement apartment set within walking distance of Taunton town centre. With communal gardens and residents parking. Offered to the market with no onward chain.

Property Oracle says ..

This two-bedroom apartment in Taunton, Somerset, presents a mixed bag of features. Its location on Tower Street places it conveniently close to the town centre, offering easy access to shops, restaurants, and transportation, including the Taunton train station. The proximity to several schools rated ‘Good’ by Ofsted is another positive aspect, making it potentially attractive to families.

The interior, as shown in the photos, is functional but dated. The kitchen and bathrooms feature older-style fixtures and fittings, which may require modernisation to appeal to a broader range of buyers. The overall condition is fair, with no apparent major issues, but an update would significantly enhance its market value. A notable drawback is the complete absence of a garden or private outdoor space. This is a common feature in apartment living, but it can be a significant factor for potential buyers seeking outdoor amenities.

In terms of pricing, the listed price is competitive with other similar apartments in the immediate vicinity, particularly considering its central location. However, the lack of outdoor space and the need for potential renovations might lead some buyers to negotiate a lower price. Overall, this property offers a convenient location and a functional living space but lacks desirable features such as outdoor space. Potential buyers should weigh the pros and cons carefully, considering their individual needs and priorities.

Therefore, we give this property 5 / 10. *Disclaimer: This is our option and does constitute a recommendation or financial advice. Do your own research. *
