Summary - 122, Blackmore Road, SHAFTESBURY SP7 8RL
1 bed 1 bath Apartment
Affordable one-bedroom flat with loft room and allocated parking — long lease, low council tax..
One-bedroom first-floor apartment with loft room
This one-bedroom, first-floor apartment occupies a practical footprint (approx. 582 sq ft) in Shaftesbury, offering a simple, low-cost home or rental option. The living room leads to a loft room, adding flexible storage or occasional-use space, while a modern fitted kitchen and bathroom keep day-to-day living straightforward. An allocated off-street parking space and a small gravelled outside area are useful extras in a town-fringe location.
Heating is electric throughout (Bluetooth-enabled radiators and electric storage heaters), so running costs will depend on electricity tariffs; the property benefits from very low council tax which offsets some ongoing costs. The windows are secondary glazed and the building dates to the 1980s, so the fabric is typical of that era and generally straightforward to maintain.
This is a leasehold flat with an exceptionally long lease (957 years) which removes a common leasehold concern, though buyers should budget for standard leasehold admin and possible additional fees for search packs. Note a Land Registry anomaly: the vendor’s details do not currently match the registered title — this will need solicitor attention during purchase.
Ideal for a first-time buyer, a couple or a buy-to-let investor wanting a manageable property in a market town with good local schools and amenities. The apartment presents a low-maintenance base with modest renovation potential if a buyer seeks to personalise finishes or improve energy efficiency.
