Small, practical one-bedroom retirement flat close to Blandford Forum town centre.
One double bedroom with built-in wardrobes
A compact one-bedroom retirement apartment on the first floor of Ryan Court, a purpose-built over-55s block close to Blandford Forum town centre. The flat offers a practical layout with a rear-aspect lounge/diner, fitted kitchen, double bedroom with built-in wardrobes and a walk-in shower room — all within a small 431 sq ft footprint. Communal facilities include a residents' lounge, shared laundry and maintained communal gardens.
Practical conveniences include residents’ off-street parking (first-come, first-served) and double glazing. The development is aimed at downsizers seeking easy access to local shops, services and the market town amenities a short walk away. Council tax is low and there is no flood risk.
Notable costs and considerations: the property is leasehold with 87 years remaining and an average service charge of around £2,600 per year. Heating is by electric night storage/room heaters, which can be expensive compared with mains gas. The wider area records higher-than-average crime levels — worth researching for personal comfort and security.
This apartment is best suited to a retired buyer or couple seeking a low-maintenance town-centre base with communal support and social space. It offers clear downsizing convenience but requires acceptance of leasehold costs and electric heating running costs.
