A compact, well-presented one-bedroom apartment set on the first floor of a converted Grade II listed Georgian building in the heart of Wimborne. The building’s impressive portico and grand staircase set a characterful tone; inside the flat offers an open-plan living/kitchen, a large double bedroom with a study area and three fitted wardrobes, and a modern bathroom. Large sash windows and a southerly aspect give good natural light.
This apartment suits buyers seeking a low-maintenance, town-centre base—ideal for downsizers who want convenience and period character without garden upkeep. The location is exceptionally convenient: directly opposite the Quarterjack health practice and pharmacy, near Waitrose, shops, cafés and public transport, with easy road access to Poole and Bournemouth.
Buyers should note material considerations: the building is Grade II listed which restricts alterations and can complicate repairs; walls are solid brick with no assumed insulation; heating is electric storage heaters. There is no private garden or allocated parking (residents’ permit available for the adjacent public car park). The property has a medium flooding risk and local crime levels are high. The lease has about 110 years remaining; annual maintenance is around £1,200 plus buildings insurance c.£300.
Overall, this is a characterful, low-upkeep town-centre flat that offers convenient living and period charm for someone prepared to accept listed-building constraints, modest size (c.414 sq ft) and the reality of electric heating and limited private outdoor/parking facilities.
