A bright first-floor apartment in Poundbury offering a manageable, well-presented home for a first-time buyer. The open-plan lounge/diner benefits from tall sash windows and high ceilings, creating an airy living space alongside a contemporary fitted kitchen. Two double bedrooms include an ensuite to the principal, making the layout practical for sharers or guests.
The property is sold as 40% shared ownership, lowering the initial purchase cost while retaining a long lease (119 years remaining). Allocated off-street parking, fast broadband and low local crime add everyday convenience, and the building’s Georgian-style exterior gives a characterful setting close to Queen Mother Square and local amenities.
Buyers should note this is a leasehold shared-ownership home with a monthly rent on the unsold share (£403.91 reported) and an average service charge of £2,626.08 per year (about £218.84 per month). The overall internal area is modest (approximately 511 sq ft), so space is best suited to those seeking a compact, low-maintenance home rather than a large family residence.
In short, this apartment suits someone looking to step onto the property ladder in a sought-after, well-kept community. The combination of character features, modern finishes and a central Poundbury position makes it a practical and attractive affordable-entry option—provided shared-ownership terms and ongoing charges match your long-term plans.
