A spacious two-bedroom ground-floor apartment in the heart of Charminster, offered with a long 179-year lease and no forward chain. The building is an Art Deco period block with communal garden space and bright, well-proportioned living rooms that suit rental tenants or a first home. The modern galley kitchen and bathroom are functional but the kitchen is compact and would benefit from updating to maximise potential.
This sale is by unconditional online auction. Successful purchasers must pay a deposit and a buyer's premium (3%+VAT, subject to minimum) on exchange and complete within 56 days. There is an annual service charge of about £2,162 and a peppercorn ground rent; buyers should review the legal pack for any additional special conditions and costs.
For investors, the property is advertised with a suggested rent of approximately £1,200pcm and sits in a lively, well-served centre with bus links, shops and cafés close by—supporting strong rental demand. For a homebuyer, the area benefits from several highly rated schools and fast broadband. Note the apartment’s small kitchen footprint and typical maintenance needs for a period block when budgeting renovation works.
Overall this is a practical, long-lease investment or starter-home opportunity in a convenient Charminster location. The auction route and additional costs mean this suits buyers prepared for a fast, binding purchase process and who have checked the legal documentation beforehand.
