An exceptionally well-presented first floor apartment, ideally positioned in the heart of Templecombe, just a short stroll from the mainline railway station and the Co-op convenience store.

The property has been tastefully modernised over the years and features a stylish fitted kitchen and contemporary bathroom.

Unlike the majority of flats within Templars Place, which rely on night storage heating, this apartment has been significantly upgraded to benefit from a traditional central heating system with radiators, powered by an electric boiler.

The accommodation is generously proportioned and includes a spacious living/dining room with a large front-facing window that allows an abundance of natural light to flood the space. An opening from the dining area leads through to the modern fitted kitchen, which is well appointed with a range of grey, high-gloss units and ample worktop space.

There are two well-sized double bedrooms, both served by a sleek bathroom suite incorporating a combined WC and wash basin unit. Further notable features include double-glazed windows, allocated parking, and the benefit of an extended lease of 125 years from 2015.

This delightful home would make an ideal first-time purchase. For investors, the property also offers an excellent opportunity, with an existing tenant currently generating a monthly rental income of £725.

In summary, this is a superbly presented apartment offering modern living, a convenient location, and excellent investment potential.

Templecombe is situated in the beautiful Somerset countryside and is well placed for the many amenities on offer, including a mainline railway station (London Waterloo 2hrs), post office, welcoming community café and Co-op convenience store. There is the village Church, primary school and doctor's surgery with dispensary, and the village hall offers space for community clubs (bowls, mums & toddlers and there is a separate scouts hut), while the recreation ground has a tennis court and BMX track. A big attraction of Templecombe is its accessibility, being situated close to both the A303 and the A30 with fast routes east and west towards the motorway network. The mainline station is an obvious draw, while local comprehensive shopping, cultural and leisure amenities are found close by in the towns of Sherborne, Wincanton, Shaftesbury and Yeovil. To the south, the World Heritage Jurassic coast is within easy striking distance. The area is renowned for its schools, both independent and state and the surrounding countryside, much of which is an area of outstanding natural beauty, is a playground for sporting and leisure pursuits such as walking, riding, cycling, golf and field sports. There are village cricket clubs close by and sailing and other water sports are readily accessible on the south coast.
