This ground-floor one-bedroom retirement apartment offers practical, low-maintenance living in Hardy Lodge, a purpose-built development in Shaftesbury. The open-plan living area leads directly onto a private patio, and the kitchen is fully fitted with integrated appliances. The apartment is presented in good decorative order and comes chain-free with a very long lease (999 years remaining).
Hardy Lodge provides on-site support and community: a lodge manager is available five days a week, regular social events are held in the owners’ lounge, and a 24-hour Careline/alarms system offers added security. Owners also have access to a private car park and a guest suite, plus use of guest suites at other Churchill Retirement Living developments.
Running costs are an important consideration: the current service charge is £3,243.74 per year and ground rent is £575 per year (review due October 2029). Heating is via a community air-source scheme included in the service charge. The apartment’s overall size is small (approx. 395 sq ft), so it’s best suited to single occupancy or couples who prefer compact living.
Location benefits include proximity to Shaftesbury town centre amenities, good mobile signal and average broadband. Note the local area records higher crime levels than average; prospective buyers should satisfy themselves on personal security and local services before committing.
