This ground-floor, two-double-bedroom apartment offers an affordable, move-in-ready entry to Christchurch living. Situated in a purpose-built block with well-kept communal gardens and two outside storage sheds, the flat is offered with vacant possession and no onward chain, allowing a fast sale for buyers ready to move. Living spaces are bright and generously proportioned for the size, with a separate kitchen and a good-sized shower room.
Practical running costs are a strength: mains gas central heating, double glazing, low council tax (Band A) and modest annual charges (around £1,200). The layout is traditional and straightforward — entrance hall with airing/storage cupboard gives access to every room, and the living room and bedrooms benefit from large windows overlooking the green communal areas.
Important points to note: the property is leasehold with approximately 85 years remaining, and the block’s walls are likely uninsulated cavity construction which could mean higher heating costs or future insulation work. The immediate neighbourhood scores as an area with higher crime rates and very high deprivation indices; buyers should consider this when assessing long-term suitability. Parking is casual only — on- and off-street nearby rather than allocated spaces.
This flat suits first-time buyers, investors and downsizers looking for an affordable base near Christchurch town centre. It’s a practical, well-located home that will reward modest cosmetic updating while offering the convenience of good local shops, regular bus routes and several well-rated schools within easy reach.
