A compact two-bedroom first-floor flat converted from a character semi-detached house in Charminster, offering modern kitchen and bathroom fittings and off-street allocated parking. At around 505 sq ft the apartment is best suited to first-time buyers or investors seeking a low-maintenance, city-location home with good transport links and local amenities on Charminster Road.
The layout is traditional: entrance hallway, a medium living room, two bedrooms and a fitted kitchen with integrated fridge/freezer and gas hob. Gas central heating, double glazing (pre-2002) and a fitted boiler provide everyday comfort; the communal entrance and shared building reflect typical converted-flat living.
Important lease and cost points: the remaining lease is about 80 years and ground rent is £750 per year. There is an average service charge of £1,104 and some lenders may refuse mortgages where lease length is below lender minimums. The area shows higher levels of deprivation and a cosmopolitan, student-heavy neighbourhood profile, so consider rental demand and local environment when deciding.
Sold chain-free, this flat represents quick move-in potential and immediate rental or owner-occupier occupation. It will suit buyers prioritising location, compact practical living, and investment flexibility — and those prepared to investigate mortgage options given the lease and annual charges.
