A compact, well-lit one-bedroom third-floor apartment in central Poole, offered as shared ownership and available chain-free. The living room faces south and benefits from double patio doors opening onto a Juliet balcony, flooding the space with light. A recently fitted boiler (July 2024) reduces immediate heating concerns and the flat includes an external storage unit for bikes or boxes.
The layout is efficient: separate kitchen with space for freestanding appliances, a double bedroom with built-in lighting, and a bathroom with bath and shower over. Communal access has stairs and a lift; a parking permit can be applied for if required. The long lease (around 170 years remaining) and central location near shops, Poole Park, the harbour and quay make this suitable for a first-time buyer or a buy-to-let investor seeking central rental demand.
Buyers should note this is a shared-ownership, leasehold property with an annual service charge of about £2,002 and a buyer identity-check fee of £80 payable to a third party. The home is compact at approximately 398 sq ft and broadband speeds in the area are reported slow. Parking is not guaranteed and may involve an extra permit cost.
Overall, this apartment offers an affordable route into central Poole with good natural light, recent heating upgrade and long lease, but suits someone who prioritises location over generous internal space and who accepts the shared-ownership/ service-charge considerations.
