Desirable Top Floor Apartment In A Historic Grade II Listed Convent Conversion

Listed 13 Aug 2026 · Taunton
A Beautifully Renovated Ground Floor Apartment with Private Rear Courtyard
Situated on the ever-popular Silver Street in the heart of Taunton, this beautifully renovated ground floor apartment offers stylish, contemporary living combined with the character and convenience of a period property.
The property has been comprehensively renovated by the current owner, resulting in a fresh, modern home that is ready to move straight into. A new heating system, water system and lighting system have all been installed, offering peace of mind for the new owner, with the added benefit of smart controls that allow the systems to be managed conveniently via a smartphone.
The stylish property is accessed via a shared entrance with just two other properties. Internally, the property has been thoughtfully finished throughout, with a particularly attractive open-plan living and kitchen space featuring a modern navy kitchen, timber-effect worktops, contemporary fittings and a warm wooden-effect floor. The large bay window floods the room with natural light and creates a lovely focal point, whilst the feature wall adds a stylish contemporary touch.
The accommodation also includes a well-presented modern bathroom with a contemporary black-framed shower screen and stylish fittings, together with a beautifully finished bedroom featuring a striking green panelled feature wall.
To the rear is a private courtyard area, providing a useful outdoor space for seating, plants or enjoying a morning coffee.
A further benefit is the ownership structure. The apartment is sold with a share of the freehold, with the freehold shared between the three properties within the building. The service charge and ground rent are also particularly reasonable, at approximately £500 in total per annum, which is shared between the three properties.
This is an excellent opportunity for a first-time buyer, professional purchaser, downsizer or investor looking for a low-maintenance property in a convenient Taunton location. With the extensive renovation already completed, the new owner can simply move in and enjoy.
Please note, the property does not benefit from allocated parking. However, on-street parking is available nearby in a number of convenient locations.
