This compact one-bedroom second-floor flat offers an affordable entry into Christchurch living. At about 490 sqft, the layout is traditional and practical, with gas central heating, UPVC double glazing and allocated off-street parking — useful extras for daily life. The flat sits in a small, purpose-built block with an entry-phone system and pleasant views toward St Catherine’s Hill.
The location is a clear strength: a short walk to Christchurch town centre, local shops, buses and healthcare, plus several well-regarded primary and secondary schools nearby. Running costs look attractive — mains gas heating, double glazing and a very low council tax band reduce ongoing outlay. The property was constructed in the early 1990s and sits in a generally affluent, low-crime area with fast broadband and excellent mobile signal.
Important practical points: the lease has 92 years remaining and the formal tenure is recorded as unknown, so buyers should confirm mortgageability and any service charge/ground rent details before committing. The flat is average-sized and best suited to a single person, couple, downsizer or first-time buyer seeking a town-centre base rather than a family requiring lots of space.
Overall this is an economical, low-maintenance home with central convenience and parking. It will particularly suit buyers prioritising location, low running costs and easy access to town amenities — provided they are comfortable with a modest one-bedroom flat and confirm lease/tenure details.
