1 bed 1 bath Retirement Property
Low-maintenance first-floor retirement flat close to Blandford Forum town centre.
Chain free one-bedroom first-floor retirement flat
This first-floor one-bedroom retirement flat in the heart of Blandford Forum offers low-maintenance living within easy walking distance of the town centre. The sitting/dining room and double bedroom receive natural light from two windows; communal gardens and residents' parking add convenience and outdoor space without upkeep responsibility.
Practical features include electric heating, an equipped kitchen with space for appliances, and a bathroom with a shower-over-bath. The building provides on-site support services, buildings insurance and external maintenance covered by the service charge, useful for buyers seeking a managed retirement setting.
Buyers should note the lease has 65 years remaining. This may restrict mortgage options and could affect resale value; purchasers should seek specialist mortgage advice and legal guidance. The service charge and ground rent are significant running costs to factor in, and the area records higher-than-average crime and a medium flood risk.
Overall, this property suits a downsizer or retiree prioritising location, low maintenance and on-site support, who accepts leasehold constraints and ongoing service costs. Offered chain free, it’s a straightforward purchase for a cash buyer or a buyer with lease-aware mortgage arrangements.
