Set in the heart of Shaftesbury, this spacious two-bedroom apartment combines town-centre convenience with far-reaching countryside views. Originally a three-bedroom layout, it has been reconfigured to create generous living spaces: a large sitting room, an expansive kitchen and two double bedrooms with integrated wardrobes. The large windows flood the rooms with light and frame the attractive rural outlook.
Practical positives include an allocated garage, a share of the freehold, no onward chain and mains services. The property sits within the conservation area and benefits from useful local amenities and good mobile coverage. For downsizers or retirees seeking low-exertion living close to shops, cafes and public transport, this is a rare central-with-views opportunity.
Buyers should note some material points: heating is by electric storage heaters and the EPC is band D. The interior shows dated mid‑20th-century fittings and will suit those prepared to update decor and finishes. The lease has 86 years remaining, and the service charge is approximately £2,000 per year. The area records higher-than-average local crime, which some purchasers will want to consider.
Overall this is a roomy, well‑located apartment that rewards modest investment and sympathetic updating. Its size, garage and elevated outlook make it suitable for those seeking comfortable, low-maintenance town living with quick access to the surrounding countryside.
