Description
Offered at auction, this vacant ground-floor leasehold flat has approximately 460 sq ft of accommodation in a period building converted into four self-contained flats. The layout comprises an open-plan kitchen and dining/living area, one double bedroom and a bathroom. There is an enclosed private garden to the rear, with first-come, first-served parking at the back of the building.
The flat has been let for many years and is described as requiring updating. The lease is stated to be a new 999 years, and the monthly management charge of £141 includes buildings insurance, service charges, management and a contribution to a sinking fund. The property is offered with vacant possession and an EPC rating of D.
The building's freehold arrangements may change after the other flats are sold, but the timing is not confirmed. Buyers should review the legal pack for the lease, management arrangements, building information and auction terms. The property is close to Highbridge's shops and railway station, with the M5 also accessible from the town.

74out of 100
Grade BGood opportunity
Confidence: MEDIUM
At £50,000, this 460 sq ft flat is priced at £109/sq ft, well below the local average of £286/sq ft—an unusually low entry point for a vacant period property with its own enclosed garden and parking. The live online auction guide is the comparison point; bidding can take the hammer above the guide, so the eventual price may not stay this cheap.
The interior is intact but dated, giving a buyer a clear medium-scale project: refresh the open-plan living space, update the kitchen and bathroom, and tackle the patchy decoration. The period frontage and usable private garden add character and scope to improve, while the building’s future management arrangements are still to be resolved.
Key opportunities
- The low asking price versus the local £/sq ft average offers an attractive entry point for a buyer seeking value.
- A medium-scale update can modernise the open-plan living area, kitchen and bathroom and refresh the marked, patchy wall finishes.
- The enclosed rear garden is usable outdoor space with scope to tidy the paving and boundary fencing; the period brick-and-stone frontage adds character.
Key risks
- The building’s freehold and management arrangements depend on the sale and future vacancy of the remaining flat, with no timescale provided.
