This well-presented first-floor one-bedroom flat sits in a small purpose-built block on the edge of Ferndown, close to open space, local shops and a Sainsbury’s. The accommodation is practical and tidy: a living room with laminate flooring, a compact fitted kitchen with integrated hob and oven, a double bedroom and a modern shower room. Gas central heating, double glazing and extensive boarded loft storage add everyday convenience.
Practical ownership features include a long lease (138 years remaining), reasonable service charge (£580pa) and an allocated parking space with visitor bays. Pets are permitted and council tax is low (Band A). These points make the property straightforward for first-time buyers or investors seeking a low-maintenance purchase with predictable running costs.
Be aware of the flat’s limitations: total internal size is small (approximately 342 sq ft), access is via an external staircase to the first floor, and broadband speeds in the area are reported slow. Ground rent is £300 pa (reviewable every ten years up to a fixed increment). The setting is suburban, overlooking communal lawns and parking — there are no special views.
Overall, this is a sensible, value-focused opportunity for someone wanting an entry-level home or a rental investment in Ferndown. It offers immediate occupancy standards and avoids major works, but buyers should factor in the compact layout and slower local broadband when assessing suitability.
