Well-presented flat near Ashley Road; garage and gardens — lease under 50 years, lending restricted.
First-floor one-bedroom purpose-built flat
This well-presented first-floor one-bedroom flat occupies a convenient Parkstone location, a short walk from Ashley Road’s shops and local transport links. The apartment benefits from a bright lounge/diner, fitted kitchen, modern shower room and built-in bedroom wardrobes. Practical features include UPVC double glazing, electric underfloor heating with individual thermostats, and an allocated garage in a nearby block. Communal gardens are tended and council tax is low, making running costs modest aside from the service charge.
The property will suit a cash buyer or a buyer prepared to fund a lease extension, given the material lease length. There are 47 years remaining on the lease — a level at which many high-street mortgage lenders may refuse to lend. Prospective buyers should obtain mortgage approval in principle or be prepared to discuss lease-extension costs before committing.
Annual maintenance and building insurance run at about £1,200. Broadband speeds are reported fast and mobile signal excellent, useful for home-working. The flat’s comfortable, modern presentation means it is ready to occupy but extending the lease is likely essential to protect long-term value and to unlock mortgage finance.
Local amenities include good primary and secondary schools rated Good, accessible rail links to Bournemouth and London, and nearby coastal attractions. The wider area shows some deprivation and a higher local crime level; buyers should weigh these local statistics against the property’s location and price.
