This well-presented first-floor one-bedroom flat in a quiet Ferndown cul-de-sac offers a practical and affordable entry to the housing market. A private external staircase leads to its own entrance, and the living room opens to a kitchen upgraded in 2019 with integrated oven, hob and space for appliances. The modern shower room has a walk-in shower and provides loft access with boarding, insulation and a light — useful extra storage for a compact home.
Practical features include gas central heating, double glazing, an allocated off-street parking space and a private bin store. The lease is long at 138 years, service charge is modest at £145 per quarter (£580 pa) and ground rent is £300 pa. Council Tax is in Band A, keeping ongoing costs low — a clear plus for first-time buyers or buy-to-let investors seeking predictable outgoings.
Drawbacks are straightforward: the apartment is small at about 330 sq ft, so living and storage space is limited. Broadband speeds in the area are reported as slow, which may affect home working; the local area scores higher on deprivation and crime is average, so buyers should judge suitability to their needs. Overall, this flat suits someone prioritising affordability, low running costs and convenient parking over generous internal space.
With Ferndown town centre, good local schools and bus links nearby, plus easy access to the A31 and local heathland walks, the property offers sensible everyday convenience and rental potential for investors. Viewings are recommended for those wanting a compact, low-maintenance flat with a long lease and modest running costs.
