This one-bedroom flat on Ringwood Road is a compact, move-in-ready home or rental investment. The open-plan living/kitchen gives flexible space for living and dining, while a double bedroom leads directly to a modern three-piece bathroom. The property measures about 455 sq ft and benefits from double glazing, mains gas central heating and an EPC B rating.
Practical extras include an allocated off-street parking space plus a guest space, a gas combi-boiler around four years old, and a 113-year lease remaining. Service charge is £162 per calendar month and ground rent is £200 per year. The flat is offered chain-free and sits roughly a ten-minute drive from Poole town centre, with local shops, buses and train links nearby.
Buyers should note material negatives plainly: the area records higher-than-average crime and local deprivation indicators, which may affect resale and rental demand. Service charges and ground rent are payable and should be budgeted for. The flat is small by modern standards, so it suits a single person, couple, first-time buyer or investor rather than a family needing more space.
Overall this property offers a low-entry purchase or straightforward buy-to-let option in a well-connected part of BH12, with short-term rental potential and manageable upkeep. Prospective buyers are advised to inspect the surrounding neighbourhood and verify service charge details and lease documentation during conveyancing.
