Modern, low-maintenance flat close to cafes, transport and beaches.
Second-floor one-bedroom apartment, built 2021
A bright, well-presented one-bedroom apartment in the heart of Ashley Cross, finished in 2021 and offered chain free. The open-plan kitchen/living space, double bedroom and modern shower room suit a first-time buyer or solo professional seeking a low-maintenance city base with local cafes, shops and Parkstone train station on the doorstep. The building benefits from double glazing, a large communal bike store, and the remainder of the new-build warranty for added reassurance.
Practical running costs are generally modest: council tax is inexpensive, ground rent is a nominal £1, and the apartment is electrically heated with room heaters. Note the service charge of around £1,200 per year and that heating is electric rather than gas, which may affect long-term energy costs. The property is on the second floor of a small development, so access involves stairs and it is an average-sized 452 sq ft flat rather than a larger apartment.
The location is the main draw — Ashley Cross village amenities are immediate, with cafes, restaurants, convenience shopping, healthcare and good schools nearby. Sandbanks beaches and Parkstone station are also easily reached. This apartment is a straightforward, low-maintenance starter home or buy-to-let opportunity with modern fixtures, pets allowed by permission and no onward chain.
Important factual points: tenure is leasehold with approximately 121 years remaining; buyers should review the lease and warranty details and satisfy themselves on services and heating arrangements prior to commitment.
