Affordable two-bed starter flat with garage and long lease in Canford Heath..
Long lease: 957 years remaining
A compact two-bedroom lower-ground flat in Canford Heath offering long-term security with a 957-year lease. The open-plan living room/kitchen and two bedrooms suit a first-time buyer or couple seeking an affordable entry into Poole’s housing market. A garage in a nearby block and communal grounds add practical convenience; local shops, bus routes and good schools are all within walking distance.
Be aware this is a small, lower-ground property with standard-to-low ceiling heights and no private garden. Communal parking is on a first-come, first-served basis and the block dates from the late 1960s/early 1970s, so some elements may feel dated. The building has cavity walls with no assumed added insulation, which could affect running costs despite gas central heating and double glazing.
Service charge is around £169 pcm (approx. £2,028/year) and ground rent is a peppercorn; council tax is very low. Broadband speeds and mobile signal are excellent and the area records low crime, making this a practical, affordable starter home or buy-to-let opportunity for someone prepared for modest space and some likely future refurbishments.
