Chain‑free two‑bed apartment in central Poundbury with parking and long lease.
Reserved off‑street parking space in shared courtyard
Step into a well‑proportioned ground‑floor apartment in the heart of Poundbury, offered chain‑free and ready for immediate occupation. The open‑plan living space benefits from high ceilings and triple aspect light, creating an airy feel that suits a couple or downsizer seeking low‑maintenance, central living. Two double bedrooms provide practical accommodation, one with built‑in wardrobe storage.
The location is a principal draw: Queen Mother Square, Waitrose and a wide range of cafes, restaurants and services are all within easy walking distance. Poundbury’s design prioritises walkability and community amenities, with The Great Field and spa facilities nearby and Dorchester’s wider shops, cultural sites and rail links a short trip away. The property sits in an area of outstanding natural beauty and low local crime.
Practical facts: the flat has a long lease (approximately 249 years remaining), mains gas central heating with boiler and radiators, an EPC rating of C and a reserved off‑street parking space in the shared courtyard. Annual running costs include a service charge of about £1,893.94 and a separate Manco charge (circa £225–£315). Council tax band C is described as affordable.
Considerations: this is a leasehold ground‑floor apartment with no private garden and a mid‑range service charge, so buyers seeking outdoor space or minimal service charges should factor that in. Overall, it suits buyers who prioritise central Poundbury convenience, characterful period styling combined with modern fittings, and secure allocated parking.
