This ground-floor one-bedroom retirement flat offers low-maintenance living close to Blandford Forum town centre. The compact layout includes a living/dining room, modern fitted kitchen and a shower room; built-in storage and an intercom/emergency pull cord add convenience and security for older residents.
Communal gardens, resident parking and on-site laundry/lounge facilities provide useful shared amenities. The property is chain free and comes with 108 years remaining on the lease, making it straightforward to buy and move into.
Practical considerations: heating is by electric storage heaters and main fuel is electricity, which can mean higher running costs. The annual service charge is approximately £2,909 and ground rent is £218.32 per year — both cover communal maintenance, a house manager and building insurance. The building is reported as having cavity walls with assumed no added insulation.
Buyers should note a higher local crime score for the area and that fixtures, fittings and services have not been tested. For a buyer seeking an easy-to-manage retirement base within walking distance of shops and local services, this modest flat could be a good match, provided they accept the service-charge structure and electric heating.
