3 bedroom self-contained apartment in Beechgrove Place, Taunton, Somerset

Description

So, I’ve been living in this little place in Taunton, Somerset for the past year and honestly, I’m pretty happy with it. It’s a ground-floor apartment tucked into the end of a terraced row, fully refurbished in 2025 — think modern updates without losing any of the old charm.

The floor is Karndean, walls are Lincrusta, and the kitchen and bathrooms are all spotless with power showers, fitted wardrobes, and that lovely old-school detail work — like ornate cornicing, ceiling roses, and deep skirtings. The main bedroom is huge, with an en-suite that can easily fit a super king bed. There are two other double bedrooms, a well-sized lounge with a real living flame fireplace, and a family bathroom with a free-standing bath and a separate shower.

I’ve got a big pantry under the stairs — separate tumble drier, so no more laundry drama. The kitchen has a six-hob dual fuel range, dishwasher, washing machine, and fridge freezer. The front and back gardens are fully enclosed, with a shed, and the landlord takes care of the garden maintenance — no hassle.

It’s a quiet spot, but still close to independent bars, restaurants, and shops. I’m in the catchment for Mile End Primary and Aberdeen Grammar School (though I’m not sure if that’s still valid — might be worth checking), and it’s got full fibre broadband via City Fibre. Council tax is band E.

It’s unfurnished, so you’ll need to bring your own furniture. Available from 19 August 2025, max two tenants, no students, pets by arrangement, smokers okay. Bills not included. There’s parking and garden access, and yes — there’s a fireplace. EPC rating is D.

I’m not charging any admin fees, and I’m happy to show people around. If you’re calling, just say “2579003” and I’ll get back to you. I’m not too fussy about timing — phone bookings 9am to 9pm, 7 days a week.

Price is £9.00 — not a lot, but it’s just for the interest of the place. I’ve lived here, so I know what it’s like.

If you’re thinking of moving in and want something solid and low-key with a bit of character, this might be worth a look.
