Step inside this bright first-floor one-bedroom apartment in Marlborough Court, a popular purpose-built block moments from Wimborne town centre. The open-plan lounge and kitchen are double-aspect, south- and west-facing, creating a naturally light living space that’s ready to be refreshed to your taste. The layout suits a comfortable first home or a rental return once modernised.
A standout practical benefit is the allocated double-width garage — rare for apartments of this size and useful for storage, a car, or projects. The property is offered chain-free and sits on a long lease (955 years remaining), giving security for buyers who value a straightforward long-term tenure.
The flat does require updating: fixtures, fitted kitchen and bathroom are dated and the overall finish needs renovation to reach modern standards. Service charges are currently £1,768 (budgeted £2,635 for 30.6.25, includes a reserve fund), and there is a nominal ground rent of £10 p.a.; factor these running costs into affordability calculations. The area is generally affluent with good broadband and excellent mobile signal, but local crime is noted as high — consider precautions when viewing.
For investors, the vendor’s guidance suggests an achievable rent of around £950 pcm when refurbished, making this a potential long-term let in a desirable market close to schools, amenities and country walks. For first-time buyers, the combination of a generous lease, garage and no onward chain provides a secure, cost-effective entry point once renovation works are planned and budgeted.
