Ground-floor two-bedroom flat in Sixpenny Handley, offered with a new 125-year lease and no onward chain. The lounge/diner benefits from a large bay window, filling the main living space with natural light. Both bedrooms will accommodate double beds, and built-in cupboards provide useful storage for a property of this size.
The flat needs general renovation and updating — the wet-room style shower and kitchen are serviceable but dated. Heating is via electric storage heaters and cavity walls are assumed to be uninsulated, so buyers should factor potential energy-efficiency improvements into budgets. Service charge is low at £136.28 per annum and council tax is inexpensive, which helps running costs.
Externally the development offers well-kept communal gardens and off-street residents’ parking. The village location provides local amenities including a primary school, shop, post office, pub and regular bus links to Salisbury and Blandford Forum. Mobile signal and broadband are good for a rural area.
This property suits a first-time buyer or investor looking for an affordable entry into the area and who can carry out cosmetic and energy-efficiency upgrades. It’s an opportunity to personalise a compact home in a quiet village setting, but buyers should expect renovation work and an all-electric heating system.
