This naturally bright one-bedroom semi-detached house has been newly renovated and presents an affordable, low-maintenance home close to local amenities in Lower Parkstone. The layout is traditional with a lounge, fitted kitchen, bathroom and conservatory opening to a compact rear garden. An outbuilding with power and off-street parking for two cars add practical value for first-time buyers or investors.
The property dates from the 1930s and retains period character on the exterior, now finished in pebble dash with double glazing and gas central heating via boiler and radiators. Broadband speeds are fast and mobile signal is excellent—useful for remote working or letting. Council tax is described as cheap and there is no flood risk.
Notable negatives are the single bedroom and small plot size, which limit family use and expansion; buyers seeking more space should note this. Crime in the area is above average and the walls are cavity-built with no known added insulation, so some thermal improvements could be considered. Overall this is a compact, move-in-ready option suited to first-time owners or buy-to-let portfolios seeking a low-maintenance asset in an affluent neighbourhood.
