A recently updated two-double-bedroom first-floor apartment, neatly presented and ready to move into with no onward chain. The open-plan lounge-dining room opens onto a private balcony that overlooks well-maintained communal gardens, while a garage in a nearby block provides secure parking and storage.
Practical features include double glazing, gas central heating with a boiler and radiators, and a very long lease (958 years) — attractive for buyers wary of short leases. The property sits in a popular, self-sufficient retirement area close to Dorset County Hospital and local amenities, making it convenient for healthcare workers, retirees and those wanting easy access to town facilities.
Costs to note: an annual service charge of around £1,860 and a small ground rent of £10. The apartment dates from the late 1970s/early 1980s and, while newly renovated internally, the exact age of the glazing installation is unknown. The layout is an average-sized 670 sq ft with one bathroom, so space is compact but efficiently arranged.
This apartment suits someone looking for a low-hassle, chain-free purchase near the hospital, or an investor seeking a long-lease flat with communal grounds and a garage. Buyers wishing for more living space or additional bathrooms should consider the modest overall size and single-bathroom layout.
