Features and description
A spacious 1 bedroom ground floor apartment in purpose-built block in level area within walking distance of facilities
SITUATION: The property comprises a modern purpose-built ground floor apartment in a Magna maintained development of ex-local authority housing located on the corner of Armstrong Road and St Swithins Road.
Local shops and a supermarket are within mostly level walking distance and the centre of the town lies approximately 1 mile distant with its comprehensive shopping facilities, art centre, theatres, leisure centre with indoor swimming pool, tennis and bowls clubs, medical centre, dentists and library.
There is a regular bus service to Dorchester, the County Town, and along the coast both east and west, with the nearest railway station at Dorchester, some 12 miles to the east.
THE PROPERTY comprises one of the ground floor apartments within a purpose-built two-storey ex-local authority block, being of brick construction under a tiled roof and is set well back from the estate road, enjoying privacy and comparative quiet.
The area is a well established development comprising a mixture of houses and flats for the local housing market. This flat would be ideal for a first-time buy, retirement or a couple wishing to downsize. Internally the property was modernised some 10 years ago including a modern kitchen and bathroom and also benefits from newly laid attractive Karndean flooring to most of the accommodation. The rooms are spacious, with room to eat both in the sitting room and the kitchen, and there is a useful walk-in utility room/box room. In addition, there is gas central heating via a new combi-boiler and uPVC double-glazing with a large glazed frontage to the sitting room.
The condition of the property is ideal for immediate occupation having been recently decorated.
