Summary - CHESTNUT HOUSE FLAT 6 EAST STREET BLANDFORD FORUM DT11 7DU
2 bed 1 bath Flat
Chain-free two-bed retirement flat with communal garden and parking, ideal for downsizers.
Ground-floor retirement flat with garden views
This ground-floor, two-bedroom retirement flat in Chestnut House offers a quiet outlook over well-kept communal gardens and convenient off-street parking. Sold with no forward chain, it suits someone seeking an accessible, low-maintenance home close to Blandford Forum amenities and local good-rated schools. The southerly aspect in the lounge and main bedroom brings natural light and a pleasant garden view.
The accommodation is compact (approx. 570 sq ft) and traditional in layout: lounge with arch to a fitted kitchen, two bedrooms, and a bathroom with an electric shower. Features geared to older residents include emergency pull cords and accessible ground-floor entry. Heating is electric (night storage and wall heaters) and glazing is double — both functional but potentially costly or in need of updating.
Important practical points: the property is leasehold (details TBC), and while chain-free, service charges/ground rent and lease length should be confirmed. The building dates from the 1980s with assumed insulated timber-frame walls; buyers should verify construction and services. Crime in the area is noted as high, so security and insurance costs should be considered.
Overall this is a straightforward, ready-to-live-in retirement flat that works well for downsizers or those needing single-level accommodation. It offers immediate occupation with scope for modest cosmetic updating to improve energy efficiency and modern comfort.
