Set on the second floor with sea glimpses, this compact one-bedroom flat offers a straightforward buy-to-let or first home option in central Bournemouth. The open-plan kitchen/living area and modern shower room provide ready-to-use accommodation; a communal entrance with lift access adds convenience for residents and visitors.
Practical details support immediate occupation: gas central heating, double glazing, circa 111 years remaining on the lease, and a low council tax Band A. The property is currently tenanted, so it may suit an investor seeking an income stream; vacant possession would be subject to the existing tenancy terms.
Costs are notable and should be factored into affordability: an annual service charge of approximately £2,400 and ground rent around £250. The neighbourhood is a busy town-centre location with very high local crime statistics and a cosmopolitan, student-oriented population — attractive for rental demand but less suitable for buyers prioritising quiet or family-oriented streets.
The flat occupies a building of early 20th-century construction with character features externally. Internally the accommodation is small (about 337 sq ft) and compact, so it best suits single occupants, couples or investors targeting central Bournemouth rental. No flooding risk is recorded, but walls are assumed to be uninsulated cavity construction, which could affect heating efficiency and future improvement costs.
