A compact one-bedroom first-floor apartment in a Victorian building, set a short walk from Ashley Cross and Parkstone station. The open-plan living/kitchen benefits from a large bay window that brings in light and creates character despite the modest footprint. The kitchen is modern and the property is offered with no forward chain, making it straightforward to move or let quickly.
The flat is a practical choice for a first-time buyer or buy-to-let investor: long lease (Share of Freehold, 999 years from 01/01/2015) and a low council tax band help running costs. Annual service charges are stated at £1,414.38; heating is by electric room heaters, and the main fuel is electricity, so factor running costs into your budget. Double glazing is in place, though installation date is unknown.
There is clear scope to personalise or upgrade: the building dates from the early 1900s and cavity walls are assumed to have no added insulation, so further improvements (insulation, heating system upgrade) could reduce bills and improve comfort. The apartment’s compact, open-plan layout suits single occupants or couples, and its proximity to local shops, restaurants, transport links and Poole Harbour is a major convenience.
Important practical notes: the property relies on electric heating and room heaters, which may be costlier than gas alternatives. The accommodation is small and most suited to buyers who prioritise location and convenience over large living spaces. Overall, this is a straightforward, characterful purchase with good rental potential or an affordable entry into Lower Parkstone.
