Low‑maintenance, centrally located over‑55s home with gated parking and communal gardens.
Chain free, freehold over‑55s terraced house
Set in the centre of Stalbridge on a gated over‑55s development, this mid‑terrace stone house combines low‑maintenance living with practical family space. The home offers open‑plan ground‑floor reception rooms that flow to a conservatory and small patio, with a walk‑in shower downstairs and two double bedrooms plus a smaller third room upstairs. A car port directly opposite the property provides convenient off‑street parking behind secure electric gates.
Designed for easy retirement living, the development is managed with communal gardens maintained by an on‑site manager (weekday mornings) and communal lighting for added security. The property is chain‑free and freehold, with double glazing and mains gas central heating for everyday comfort. Broadband speeds are fast, making the house suitable for staying connected and managing household affairs from home.
There are important costs and limits to consider: an annual management/service charge of £3,689 covers external maintenance, communal gardening, buildings insurance and the manager, and the site operates restrictive covenants for over‑55s. The plot is small and the rear garden is communal rather than private. Mobile phone reception can be limited indoors. The home suits buyers seeking a low‑upkeep retirement base centrally located in a small Dorset town rather than those wanting large private gardens or multiple bathrooms.
