Summary - HOMEFARRIS HOUSE FLAT 40 BLEKE STREET SHAFTESBURY SP7 8AU
1 bed 1 bath Retirement Property
Accessible, low‑maintenance apartment near Shaftesbury town centre.
Upper-floor one-bedroom apartment with lift access
Nestled within the age-restricted Homefarris House, this one-bedroom apartment offers low-maintenance, independent living in a convenient Shaftesbury location. The flat sits on an upper floor with lift access and benefits from a bright sitting room, fitted kitchen, double bedroom and emergency pull cords in every room for added peace of mind. Communal facilities include a residents' lounge, laundry room, visitor parking and well-kept gardens.
The apartment is presented with double glazing and electric storage heating, making it straightforward to run. It is chain-free and within an easy, level walk of Shaftesbury town centre, shops and local amenities — an appealing choice for someone seeking a manageable home close to services and social opportunities.
There are important financial and practical factors to note: the lease has approximately 57 years remaining, which may prevent some mortgage lenders from offering finance. Annual service charges and ground rent are significant (approximately £3,960 per year service charge; ground rent £440 per year), and heating is by electric storage heaters rather than gas central heating. Prospective buyers should obtain lease and lender advice early.
Overall this property suits a downsizer or retired buyer wanting a compact, accessible home with communal support and low maintenance outside space, provided they confirm finance options and accept the ongoing service and ground rent costs.
