A spacious two-bedroom ground-floor apartment in a handsome Georgian-style building, designed for over-60s living and set within a short, level walk of Wimborne town centre. The home offers almost 1,000 sq ft of accommodation with a bright dual-aspect sitting/dining room and three sets of French doors opening onto a private patio overlooking lawns and a playing field. Communal facilities include a lounge, landscaped gardens and weekday concierge, supporting an active social community.
The apartment is well equipped for comfortable living: a well-fitted kitchen with integrated appliances, a principal bedroom with en-suite bathroom plus a second bedroom and an additional shower room. Heating is provided via a low-cost community ground-source heat pump. The long lease (250 years from 2019) gives security of tenure and flood risk is low.
Practical costs and constraints are clear. The property is leasehold with a substantial annual service charge (approx. £6,399) and ground rent (approx. £534) with five-year reviews. Broadband speeds in the area are reported as slow, and council tax is above average (Band E). These recurring costs suit buyers who prioritise managed, low-maintenance retirement living and social amenities over independent running of a house.
Overall this apartment will suit buyers seeking spacious, level-access retirement accommodation in the centre of Wimborne with communal support and private outdoor space. An internal viewing is recommended to appreciate the dual-aspect reception, bedroom sizes and the well-maintained communal setting.
