This compact one-bedroom apartment on the upper floor of Homelands House offers practical, low-maintenance living for over-60s. The sitting room is generous for the size, and the property benefits from lift access, communal lounge, laundry and well-kept gardens — useful for socialising without the chores of a house. The building sits close to local shops and regular bus links into Ferndown and Poole, with Tesco only minutes away.
Important lease and cost details will affect suitability: the lease has about 56 years remaining and mortgage lenders may refuse to lend. Service charges are significant at around £3,480 per year and ground rent is about £422, so buyers must check affordability and obtain mortgage/legal advice before committing.
Internally the apartment is tidy with double glazing and electric storage heaters; the kitchen is compact and the bathroom is fully tiled with a bath and shower. Parking is available on a first-come, first-served basis. Council tax is very low, broadband and mobile signal are strong, and there is no flood risk.
This property suits a buyer seeking a sociable retirement setting with minimal outdoor maintenance and quick access to nearby amenities. It is less suitable for purchasers requiring a long lease for mortgage purposes or those who prefer independent parking guarantees or gas central heating.
