Summary - CHESTNUT HOUSE FLAT 37 EAST STREET BLANDFORD FORUM DT11 7DU
1 bed 1 bath Apartment
Convenient town‑centre living with on-site support for over‑55s.
Ground floor one-bedroom apartment, easy level walk to town centre
A light, ground-floor one-bedroom apartment in Chestnut House, set within easy, level walking distance of Blandford Forum town centre. The apartment offers a spacious sitting room, double bedroom and a modern fitted kitchen — practical, low-maintenance accommodation suited to over‑55s seeking convenience and community.
The development provides allocated parking with visitor spaces, a part-time on‑site manager and a 24‑hour emergency Appello call system, offering reassurance for those wanting supported, independent living. Double glazing and a compact layout keep running and upkeep straightforward, while local shops, services and transport are all within easy reach.
Important practical considerations: the flat is leasehold with 64 years remaining — this is likely to restrict mortgage options and may deter some lenders. The property is heated by electric storage heaters and carries an approximate service charge of £300 per month; buyers should factor these costs into affordability calculations. Viewings and legal checks are recommended before committing.
Overall, this apartment presents a convenient, low‑effort home for a retiree or downsizer who values town‑centre access and on‑site support — but buyers must address the short lease and long‑term funding implications before proceeding.
