Situated on the second floor of this purpose-built development, 31 Cobham Road offers well-proportioned one-bedroom accommodation in a convenient position for enjoying all that Blandford Forum and the surrounding Dorset countryside have to offer. The apartment has been neutrally decorated throughout, giving the accommodation a fresh and immediately welcoming feel. The dual-aspect sitting/dining room is a particular highlight, with windows to two elevations providing excellent natural light and far-reaching views across the surrounding countryside. There is ample space for both comfortable seating and a dining table. The kitchen is fitted with a good range of storage units and work surfaces, with space and plumbing for a washing machine, space for a fridge/freezer and provision for a freestanding oven, with a gas point available. The double bedroom is well proportioned, while the bathroom is fitted with a bath, WC and wash basin, together with useful built-in storage. Further benefits include gas central heating via a combi boiler, double-glazed sash windows, one allocated parking space and a communal garden to the rear of the building. The property is leasehold, with a 125-year lease commencing on 1 June 2003. The apartment is offered for sale with no onward chain, with the vendor having already secured a vacant property to move into, providing the opportunity for a straightforward purchase. The location Blandford Forum is an attractive Georgian market town set within the rolling countryside of the Blackmore Vale and on the banks of the River Stour. The town offers a good range of everyday amenities, including independent shops, cafés, restaurants, pubs and supermarkets, alongside a number of community facilities. For day-to-day shopping, Blandford is well served by supermarkets including Morrisons, Lidl Blandford Forum and M&S Foodhall, while the town centre provides a more traditional mix of independent retailers and services. The surrounding area is particularly appealing for those who enjoy the outdoors, with the countryside and River Stour providing opportunities for walking, cycling and exploring the wider Dorset landscape. The town's Georgian character and proximity to the Blackmore Vale also make it an attractive base from which to explore the county. Blandford is well placed for road connections, sitting close to the A350 and A354, with the A354 providing a direct route towards Dorchester and Salisbury and the A350 connecting north towards the A303 and south towards Poole and Bournemouth. Although Blandford no longer has its own railway station, regular bus services connect the town with destinations including Poole, Salisbury, Weymouth, Dorchester and Shaftesbury. The nearest railway stations include Poole, Wareham, Salisbury and Gillingham, providing access to wider regional and national rail networks. In all, this is a particularly appealing apartment for a first-time buyer, downsizer or investor, combining well-proportioned accommodation, countryside views and allocated parking with the convenience of a well-served Dorset market town — and, importantly, with no onward chain.
