Set over two floors above High Street shops, this spacious two-bedroom flat mixes period character with central convenience. The lounge is generous with sash windows and an open fireplace that frames the room and overlooks the historic town centre. Both double bedrooms are large and each benefits from an ensuite, a rare layout for a town-centre apartment.
The kitchen is functional with fitted units and hardwood floors, though some finishes are dated and there are signs of wear that suggest light cosmetic updating could add value. The building is a conventional pre‑1900 period construction with likely solid stone walls and no added cavity insulation, so buyers should factor potential energy-efficiency improvements into plans.
Practical points suit cost-conscious buyers: gas central heating via a boiler, very low council tax, 109 years remaining on a new lease, and a modest ground rent of £50. There is no private garden or parking shown, and the flat sits in a high-crime area so central living comes with the usual town-centre compromises.
This property will suit a first-time buyer seeking roomy rooms and character in the heart of Shaftesbury, or an investor targeting town-centre lets. It offers immediate occupancy with scope for cosmetic refurbishment and energy upgrades to improve comfort and long-term rental appeal.
