Summary - 19 ST EDWARDS COURT SHAFTESBURY SP7 8LZ
2 bed 1 bath Apartment
Low-maintenance flat near Shaftesbury amenities, ideal for older downsizers.
Ground-floor two-bedroom flat in age-restricted (55+) purpose-built block
Quiet, level-access living close to Shaftesbury town centre makes this two-bedroom flat practical for someone seeking low-maintenance accommodation. The apartment has been recently redecorated with new bedroom carpets, double glazing, gas central heating and an EPC rating of C, so day-to-day comfort and energy performance are reasonable.
Set within an age-restricted complex for residents aged 55+, the ground-floor position opens directly onto communal gardens and paved pathways, with off-street parking available on a first-come, first-served basis. A site manager provides on-site support and the block sits within easy walking distance of shops, healthcare and local amenities.
Buyers should be aware this is a shared-ownership leasehold with only 60 years granted on completion; mortgage lenders often refuse mortgages on short leases and this will affect resale and refinancing options. The service charge and site management costs are payable annually and there is high local crime recorded in the area, which may worry some purchasers.
Overall this property suits a downsizer or older buyer wanting a low-upkeep, centrally located flat with communal support, but it should be purchased with caution because of the lease length and potential lending restrictions. Interested buyers should get independent legal and mortgage advice early.
