Description
This first-floor one-bedroom maisonette in Ilchester is offered with no onward chain. The accommodation is arranged around a living and dining room, with a separate fitted kitchen, a double bedroom with built-in wardrobe and a bathroom. An entrance lobby with stairs leads up to the main rooms. The property also has an allocated off-road parking space and access to a front and side garden, described in the particulars as privately owned, while the outside section also refers to a communal front garden; the ownership arrangements should be confirmed by a solicitor.
The sale is for cash buyers only because 59 years remain on the lease. The stated annual charges are £77.15 ground rent, £1,109.65 service charge and £208.29 buildings insurance. Buyers should obtain independent legal advice and verify the lease terms and costs. Ilchester has local amenities, with Yeovil around a 15-minute drive away and Somerton around 20 minutes away.

Grade ELow opportunity
Confidence: LOW
At £69,500, this first-floor one-bedroom maisonette in Ilchester has a clean, usable interior and scope for a light cosmetic refresh. Older finishes in the living space, bedroom, kitchen and bathroom give a buyer room to update the look, while the allocated parking and garden access add practical appeal. The maintained exterior and no onward chain are further positives.
The score is held back by important purchase constraints: the sale is cash-only due to the short remaining lease, and the missing floor area means value against local £/sqf cannot yet be judged. Overall, it has a straightforward refresh opportunity, but the lease position and cash-purchase requirement will narrow the buyer pool.
Key opportunities
- Refresh the dated finishes and flooring to give the living space and bedroom a more contemporary feel.
- Update the functional but older kitchen and bathroom as part of a light cosmetic programme.
- Make use of the allocated parking and garden access, with maintained exterior areas adding to the appeal.
Key risks
- The short remaining lease means the property is cash-purchase only, limiting the pool of potential buyers and investors.
- Without a usable floor area, value against local £/sqf cannot be judged yet.
