Summary - THE REEF, 16 FLAT 1 BOSCOMBE SPA ROAD BOSCOMBE BOURNEMOUTH BH5 1AY
2 bed 2 bath Apartment
Large open-plan flat with private terrace and secure parking near award-winning beach.
Over 1,000 sq ft of living space, two double bedrooms
Spacious and light-filled, this two-double-bedroom apartment offers over 1,000 sq ft of contemporary living just moments from Boscombe’s award-winning sandy beach. The standout private terrace, with dual access from the living room and master bedroom, extends the living space and provides westerly outlooks over well-kept communal grounds — ideal for evening sunsets or entertaining. The large open-plan kitchen/living/dining area features an island, integrated appliances and wide windows that flood the space with daylight.
Practical benefits include an ensuite to the master, a second bath/shower room, secure allocated underground parking and a separate storage unit. The block is modern (built 2007–2011), has a secure entry system and lift access to this first-floor apartment. With 106 years remaining on the lease and no onward chain, the property is ready for a straightforward purchase or swift move-in.
Buyers should note the property is leasehold: service charge c. £3,100 pa and ground rent £250 pa. Council Tax sits in Band E (above-average running costs compared with some local homes). The wider neighbourhood is mixed — cosmopolitan with nearby student populations and some local area deprivation — which may bring busier periods and a lively, urban feel rather than a quiet suburb.
Overall this apartment suits first-time buyers or couples seeking a roomy, low-maintenance coastal base with secure parking and strong rental potential. It presents immediate comfort and seaside lifestyle benefits while requiring buyers to factor in leasehold charges and the local neighbourhood character when assessing long-term running costs and use.
