A ground-floor purpose-built garden flat with its own entrance, private rear garden and lock-up garage — rare features for a flat in this price bracket. The layout includes a good-sized lounge/diner, two double bedrooms and a fitted kitchen; laminate floors and PVCu double glazing keep upkeep low. A new Worcester boiler was installed in 2025, and the lease is long at approximately 137 years, reducing common leasehold complications for future buyers.
The flat is compact at about 54 sq m (581 sq ft), making it well suited to a first-time buyer, couple or downsizer seeking easy single-level living and outdoor space. The property sits close to local shops and heathland walks, with Ferndown town centre around 1.5 miles away. Council Tax is low (Band B), which helps running costs.
Notable drawbacks are straightforward: the overall internal area is small and broadband speeds in the area are reported as slow, which may affect home-working. The local area scores as relatively deprived and the wider demographic profile reflects an ageing, industrious population — buyers should view to judge local suitability. The double glazing was installed before 2002 and an official energy rating is not yet available. The bathroom uses an electric shower over the bath and some cosmetic updating may be desired by buyers seeking a modern finish.
Overall this chain-free, ground-floor garden flat offers convenient, low-maintenance living with secure parking and long lease security. It represents practical value for those prioritising private outdoor space, single-level access and a garage close to town and heathland amenities.
