This immaculately presented ground-floor flat offers a ready-to-move-in two-bedroom home with a private, secluded garden and allocated off-street parking — ideal for a first-time buyer seeking low-maintenance living or an investor after a let-ready property. The interior has been newly renovated with a modern fitted kitchen and bathroom, double glazing and gas central heating throughout, creating a comfortable, contemporary feel across about 710 sq ft.
Positioned in a popular Christchurch neighbourhood close to the mainline train station and local town centre amenities, the flat benefits from fast broadband, excellent mobile signal and very low local crime. Local schools have strong Ofsted ratings, making the area attractive for growing households. The layout is traditional and sensible, with direct garden access from the living area and practical room sizes for everyday use.
Important leasehold considerations: there are 72 years remaining on the lease and an absent freeholder. Mortgage lenders may refuse to lend with the current lease length. The sellers state they will serve the Section 42 notice to begin a lease extension process, and an indemnity policy is mentioned as a possible solution. Prospective buyers should obtain mortgage lender confirmation and independent legal advice before committing.
Overall this is a well-presented, turn-key flat in a desirable location that suits a buyer who values a private garden and easy access to transport. It offers good rental potential for investors but carries lease-related risks that must be resolved for mortgage-dependent purchasers.
