Summary - Flat 3 Hillbrook Court, Acreman Street, SHERBORNE DT9 3NZ
1 bed 1 bath Ground Flat
Compact single-storey home ideal for downsizers wanting low-maintenance living.
Ground-floor retirement flat with private terrace and communal gardens
A compact, ground-floor one-bedroom apartment in Sherborne’s Hillbrook Court, offered with no onward chain and immediate possession possible. The flat sits in a purpose-built retirement block (1996–2002) and benefits from a private terrace, communal gardens and on-site parking — practical for single occupants or couples seeking a low-maintenance, single-storey home.
Internally the layout is straightforward: an open living room with arch to a fitted kitchen, one double bedroom with built-in wardrobe, and a modern shower room. The property is neat and well presented, double-glazed and fitted with electric storage heaters; communal safety features include emergency pull cords appropriate to retirement living.
Important lease and finance note: the lease has about 62 years remaining. This is short enough that some mortgage lenders may refuse lending; buyers should check finance options and budget for potential lease-extension or cash-purchase scenarios. There is a modest ground rent (£240) and additional leasehold-related fees may apply for legal/management documentation.
Practical considerations include electric heating and electricity-fuelled running costs, and slow broadband speeds in the area. The flat’s compact footprint (approx. 453 sq ft) suits downsizers or those wanting an easy-to-manage home rather than buyers seeking large living spaces. Overall this is a tidy, low-risk retirement flat in a very pleasant Sherborne setting, best for someone prioritising convenience and ground-floor access over long-term mortgage flexibility.
