Set on the first floor in central Ferndown, this two-bedroom apartment offers straightforward, low-maintenance living with convenient access to shops, leisure facilities and good local schools. The lounge/diner opens onto a balcony overlooking communal gardens, and a single garage plus additional parking is included — useful for drivers and visitors.
The apartment dates from the late 1970s/early 1980s and is double glazed. Accommodation is practical: two double bedrooms, a fitted kitchen and a bathroom. The property is chain-free with a very long lease (983 years) and modest ground rent, making it a simple purchase for downsizers or buy-to-let buyers seeking stable tenure.
Notable costs and practicalities are transparent: an average annual service charge of £1,774 and a ground rent of £80. Broadband speeds in the area are reported slow. The kitchen and some internal finishes are of their original/late 20th-century style and will benefit from updating for buyers wanting a modern finish.
The location suits those wanting town-centre convenience without flood risk; however local recorded crime is above average, and purchasers should consider this when comparing neighbourhoods. Council tax is described as affordable and the building form is mid-terrace with communal grounds.
