Period charm close to town amenities with upgrade potential.
Large bright living room with fireplace and two windows
A characterful one-bedroom first-floor flat in central Shaftesbury, set within a Victorian mid-terrace and offering a large lounge, generous double bedroom and far-reaching rooftop views. The bright living room retains a fireplace and benefits from two windows; the kitchen has new appliances and the shower room is modern. With 603 sq ft overall, the layout suits a single occupant or couple seeking a town-centre base or rental investment.
Important practical facts are straightforward: the property is leasehold with approximately 57 years remaining, which may restrict mortgage options and could require a lease extension or restrict some buyers. Heating is by electric storage heaters, walls are uninsulated sandstone/limestone (assumed) and double glazing pre-dates 2002, so further updating could improve comfort and running costs.
The location is a strong selling point — close to Shaftesbury’s amenities, good local schools, fast broadband and excellent mobile signal. The building’s period charm and manageable size make it suitable for first-time buyers, downsizers or buy-to-let purchasers prepared for the leasehold considerations and some updating. Council tax and ground rent are low, but note the area records higher crime levels than average, which may concern some buyers.
