This well-presented three-bedroom retirement home sits in a quiet over‑55s development close to Stalbridge High Street, offering low‑maintenance living with countryside views. The layout provides a bright open-plan living/dining area with doors to a raised sun terrace and a conservatory, creating a pleasant flow for relaxing and entertaining. Ground-floor underfloor heating and mains gas central heating upstairs keep running costs reasonable; the property is rated Energy Efficiency C.
Accommodation is compact but carefully planned: three good-sized bedrooms on the first floor and a single well‑appointed bathroom with both bath and mains shower. Practical touches include integrated kitchen appliances, an understairs cupboard for controls, a walk‑in store housing the boiler and durable LVT flooring throughout the principal rooms. A private courtyard garden and an allocated space in a shared car barn provide outdoor space and off‑street parking without heavy upkeep.
Buyers should note this is a managed retirement development with an annual service charge (£3,689) and a ground rent (£335 pa fixed until 2028). The plot and overall property footprint are small, and there is only one bathroom, which may suit downsizers better than someone needing extensive space. The property is offered freehold and chain‑free, with on‑site morning management and communal maintenance included in the charge.
For purchasers seeking a secure, community‑focused, low‑maintenance home near local shops and countryside walks, this property delivers contemporary comfort and convenience. It’s best suited to over‑55s wanting easy access to town amenities, sensible energy performance, and a peaceful garden outlook rather than large family living or extensive outdoor land.
