A compact, ground-floor one-bedroom apartment in an over-60s retirement block, steps from Sherborne town centre and the station. The flat benefits from a private patio with direct access to well-kept communal gardens, a sensible two-room layout and built-in bedroom wardrobes — offering low-maintenance living for someone looking to downsize.
Practical features include double glazing, an equipped kitchen with electric hob and oven, an accessible bathroom with an electric shower and an emergency pull cord system. A parking space can be reserved for a fee and short-stay visitor parking is available nearby. The building lies within a conservation area and is part of a small, quiet retirement community.
Buyers should note material considerations plainly: the lease began in 1988 and has around 64 years remaining — this may limit mortgage options as some lenders require longer lease terms. The current service charge is £2,558.76 pa (to 30/09/2025) and ground rent is £240 pa (next uplift 2038). Heating is by electric storage heaters, which can be more costly than mains gas alternatives.
This property is best suited to downsizers or retirees seeking a town-centre, low-upkeep home with easy access to shops, rail links and local amenities. It is offered chain-free, giving potential buyers a straightforward purchase route, but anyone needing a mortgage should check lender criteria for the remaining lease length before progressing.
