This ground-floor two-bedroom flat offers a compact, practical layout close to Poole amenities and main bus routes. With gas central heating, double glazing and a fully tiled bathroom, it is ready for occupation while presenting scope to personalise the interior. The property includes private use of a paved garden and one allocated off-street parking space, useful for commuters or local shoppers.
The apartment sits in a modern brick-built development (circa 2003–2006) and measures about 47 sqm (approx. 506 sq ft). Service charge and ground rent apply: £1,919pa service charge and £309pa ground rent. Council tax is Band B (£1,670pa). There are 81 years remaining on the lease — this is a material issue and will require prompt lease extension planning or budgeting.
This is a chain-free sale, which can speed completion for buyers who are ready to move. The flat’s size and layout suit first-time buyers or those downsizing who prioritise location, low-maintenance outdoor space and allocated parking. Note the local area has higher crime statistics and is classified as deprived; purchasers should factor location considerations into their decision.
Practical items to consider: the lease length limits mortgage options with some lenders, and the relatively high annual service charge affects running costs. For buyers happy to accept those costs, the flat offers immediate occupancy, easy transport links and nearby schools with Good Ofsted ratings.
