A compact, characterful one-bedroom ground-floor apartment in the heart of Wimborne, ideal for a first-time buyer seeking period charm and town-centre convenience. The property benefits from its own private entrance and a south-facing enclosed courtyard garden, offering outdoor space rare for town-centre flats. Parquet flooring, high ceilings and large sash windows retain strong period character while gas central heating provides modern comfort.
The apartment comes with share of freehold and no onward chain, simplifying purchase. Total internal area is small (around 431 sq ft) and the lease has approximately 101 years remaining. Service charge averages £600 per half year (£1,200 annually) and council tax is very low.
Buyers should note the Grade II listed status, which will restrict external and certain internal alterations and may complicate works. The building is in a higher-crime area and the property has a medium flood risk — both are important for insurance and security considerations. The apartment is presented as a ready-to-live-in home but, due to its size, suits a single occupant or couple rather than a family.
For those wanting a period pied-à-terre, rental investment, or first home close to shops, cafes and transport, this apartment offers rare private outdoor space and easy town-centre living. However, prospective purchasers should factor in listing constraints, flood considerations and the block’s service charge when assessing suitability and future plans.
