Allocated off-street parking and a small private garden
Long lease: 955 years remaining, peppercorn ground rent
Council Tax Band B; EPC Rating D (moderate efficiency)

Annual maintenance on an ‘as and when required’ basis (variable costs)
Quiet cul-de-sac location, short walk to Purewell amenities
Purpose-built first-floor apartment, convenient for town and rail
This purpose-built, first-floor apartment in Purewell Meadows offers an affordable entry into Christchurch living. The compact one-double-bedroom layout (approx. 355 sq ft) is well suited to a first-time buyer or buy-to-let investor seeking low initial outlay and convenient local amenities.
The home sits in a quiet cul-de-sac and includes allocated off-street parking and a small garden — practical extras for a property of this size. The long lease (955 years remaining from 1980) and peppercorn ground rent remove common leasehold concerns, while mains gas heating and double glazing (installed post-2002) keep running costs straightforward.
Notable drawbacks are the apartment’s small overall footprint and an EPC rating of D, which may limit energy efficiency. Annual maintenance is charged on an “as and when required” basis, so communal costs can vary. Buyers should also expect a compact living space and factor possible improvement works into budgets.
Overall, this apartment represents a pragmatic, low-cost route into Christchurch — ideal for a first-time buyer who values location and low entry costs, or an investor after a long-lease, easily managed rental unit close to transport and local shops.
