Summary - Canon Woods Close, Sherborne, Dorset, DT9 DT9 6FH
2 bed 2 bath Flat
Comfortable, sociable retirement living close to Sherborne’s town centre.
Two bedrooms including master with en‑suite shower
Set on the first floor of a purpose-built Platinum Skies development, this two-bedroom apartment offers a comfortable, low-maintenance base for later life. The bright open-plan living area flows to a private balcony, while a master bedroom benefits from an en‑suite; wide doorways and a walk-in shower support accessible, independent living. Built in 2019, the building combines contemporary fixtures with a Georgian‑Revival exterior and thoughtful communal spaces.
Residents benefit from on-site amenities aimed at social living: a bistro and lounge, landscaped gardens, guest suite for visitors, lifts to all floors and covered parking. Broadband and mobile signals are strong, the surrounding district is very affluent with very low crime, and Sherborne’s shops, Abbey and cafés are within easy reach for everyday errands and leisure.
Important ownership details influence value and running costs. The home is offered as 50% shared ownership on a leasehold basis; the quoted service charge (£4,790) and ground rent (£6,947) are significant ongoing costs. There is no private garden for the apartment — outdoor space is communal only — and residents join a community heating scheme rather than individual gas boilers.
This apartment suits someone looking to downsize without sacrificing social life or town convenience, who accepts leasehold and service-charge commitments. It offers a secure, sociable retirement setting with practical accessibility features, but budget-conscious buyers should factor the shared-ownership structure and high annual charges into their decision.
