Summary - GRACE DARLING HOUSE, 9 FLAT 1 VALLIS CLOSE POOLE BH15 1XY
1 bed 1 bath Flat
Chain-free ground-floor flat, minutes from Baiter Park and Poole Quay.
Ground-floor one-bedroom retirement flat with private patio
A bright one-bedroom ground-floor retirement flat positioned a minute’s walk from Baiter Park waterfront and Poole Quay. The lounge opens onto a private patio overlooking well-kept communal gardens, creating a peaceful spot to enjoy the view and fresh air. The accommodation includes a modern-style fitted kitchen and a walk-in shower in the bathroom.
Practical features suit older buyers: double glazing, electric storage heating, a 24-hour care line and secure entry. Communal facilities include a residents’ lounge, laundry, guest room and off-street parking (first come, first served). The flat is offered chain free and has approximately 150 years remaining on the lease.
Buyers should note the property is leasehold with an average service charge of £2, /year (about £258 pcm) covering communal services, water and sewerage. The area shows medium flood risk and higher local crime rates, and the wider neighbourhood is classified with significant deprivation measures; these factors may affect insurance and living considerations. The flat’s electric heating, cavity walls without added insulation (assumed) and the building era (1967–1975) also influence running costs and retrofit potential.
This ground-floor flat will appeal to downsizers or retirees seeking waterfront proximity and communal support. It offers low-maintenance living and scope for gentle cosmetic updating rather than major structural work. Legal checks are advised to confirm lease and service charge details before purchase.
