Compact Victorian flat near shops and transport, ideal for investors or first-time buyers.
Long lease of around 190 years
A compact one-bedroom flat in a Victorian mixed-use building on Ashley Road, offering straightforward city-centre living close to shops and local amenities. The apartment benefits from a long lease (circa 190 years), double glazing and a modern-feeling interior with a fitted kitchen and bathroom, making it suitable for buy-to-let or a first-step purchase.
Practical positives include very low council tax, excellent mobile signal and convenient access to frequent buses, shops and services on the doorstep. The flat is powered by electric storage heating and mains electricity, which suits occasional occupation or rental but can be costly to run compared with gas systems.
Notable drawbacks are the small overall size (around 429 sq ft), very slow broadband speeds, and cavity walls that appear to lack insulation — potential issues for long-term comfort and energy efficiency. Service charges are charged on an as-needed basis and building insurance is payable, so ongoing costs may vary.
This property will suit an investor seeking a city-centre let or a buyer wanting a compact, low-maintenance home with renovation potential to improve energy performance and broadband. Viewings are recommended to appreciate the layout and location benefits for central Poole living.
