A bright, modern one-bedroom second-floor flat in the heart of Ringwood town centre, ideal for a first-time buyer or investor seeking a low-maintenance city-base. The open-plan living/kitchen, double bedroom and contemporary shower room are presented in good decorative order and benefit from double glazing and loft storage.
Practical daily living is well catered for: an allocated off-street parking space, entryphone system and convenient town-centre location with shops, cafés, the library and bus links on the doorstep. The A31/A338 give straightforward road connections to Bournemouth, Southampton and Salisbury, and the New Forest is within a short drive.
Buyers should note the property is leasehold (approx. 118 years remaining), with an annual service charge of £1,097.77 and ground rent of £250. Heating is by electric room heaters and all cooking/appliances are electric — running costs may be higher than gas-heated homes. The immediate area records higher crime levels, which some buyers will want to consider alongside the town-centre convenience.
Overall this is a well-presented, compact home with practical parking and strong local amenities. It suits a first-time buyer wanting a town-centre lifestyle, or an investor looking for a straightforward, low-upkeep rental opportunity, provided the electric heating and service charges fit budget expectations.
