Summary - CHESTNUT HOUSE FLAT 7 EAST STREET BLANDFORD FORUM DT11 7DU
1 bed 1 bath Apartment
Compact, chain-free retirement flat overlooking communal gardens near town centre.
Ground-floor one-bedroom retirement flat, over-55s block
A compact, ground-floor one-bedroom retirement flat in the heart of Blandford Forum, arranged around peaceful southeast-facing communal gardens. The apartment is part of Chestnut House, a purpose-built block for over-55s providing emergency pull cords, intercom and secure access — practical for buyers seeking low-mobility convenience and a town-centre location.
The interior is modest but tidy: a bright lounge overlooking the gardens, a small modern kitchen with fitted units and integrated oven, double glazing and night storage heating. The property includes off-street parking and accessible communal outdoor space, making it comfortable for those who value easy access to local shops and services.
Important practical considerations: the lease has 64 years remaining which may prevent most mortgage lenders from offering finance. Annual costs are significant for the size — service charge £3,611 and ground rent £100 — and the flat is small at approximately 303 sq ft. Prospective buyers should check lending options and long-term affordability before committing.
This flat is best suited to downsizers or cash buyers seeking a chain-free, low-maintenance retirement base in a Georgian market town, with quick access to amenities, public transport links and local healthcare.
