Leigh Road, Wimborne, Dorset, BH21

A well presented, 1 bedroom first floor character apartment in a converted Grade II Listed Georgian building in a convenient town centre location.



The building has an impressive portico entrance which leads to a communal reception hall with ornate quarry tiled floor. A grand Georgian staircase leads to the first floor and the front door of the flat. There is a reception hall and a modern fitted bathroom (with teardrop style corner bath and wall mounted shower, WC, wash basin, and airing cupboard.)

The open plan kitchen/living room has a large sash window to the front, a sink, space and plumbing for washing machine, ceramic hob, electric oven, and breakfast bar with space for fridge beneath. Glazed double doors lead to a large double bedroom with 3 fitted wardrobes and a large square bay with 3 sash windows enjoying an open southerly aspect.

The building fronts directly onto a wide pavement directly opposite the Quarterjack Health Practice and pharmacy. The flat has no garden or parking, but the building is adjacent to a public car park for which a residents' permit can be obtained from Dorset Council.

LEASE: 125 years from 2011. Share of Freehold. Maintenance: £1200 per annum. Buildings Insurance: £400 per annum. The owners of 4 of the 5 flats in the building have purchased the Freehold and therefore pay no ground rent. The owner of the remaining flat pays the Freeholders ground rent.
