Compact, low-maintenance apartment near Shaftesbury centre with allocated parking.
First-floor one-bedroom apartment with Juliet balcony
A compact, well-presented first-floor one-bedroom apartment set in a tucked-away development within walking distance of Shaftesbury town centre. The living space opens to a Juliet balcony overlooking communal lawns, and an allocated parking space sits just outside — practical extras for everyday living.
The apartment benefits from long leasehold security (around 965 years remaining, share of freehold), double glazing and an Energy Performance rating of C. Communal gardens are mature and lawned, offering peaceful outdoor space without private garden maintenance. Service charges are modest (about £600 per year / £50 pcm) and council tax is low (Band A), helping predictable running costs.
Honest drawbacks include the compact total floor area (about 345 sq ft), electric storage heating which can be costlier than gas, and slow broadband speeds in the area. The layout is traditional and efficient — ideal for a single occupant or couple wanting a low-maintenance base close to local amenities — but those needing fast internet or more living space should note the limitations.
Overall, this flat suits a first-time buyer or someone downsizing who values location, long lease security and low communal costs. The property offers immediate move-in potential with straightforward communal upkeep, while also presenting modest scope for internal cosmetic improvements to personalise the space.
