Recently refurbished two-bedroom apartment in Boscombe, under ten minutes’ walk to the beach and local high street. The flat sits within a Victorian semi-detached building and combines period character—bay window, high ceilings, feature fireplace—with a modern open-plan kitchen/living space and contemporary bathroom. At about 664 sq ft it offers a generous double bedroom plus a smaller second room, suitable for a home office or rental room.
This property is offered on a share of freehold with 152 years remaining on the lease and no ground rent. Service charges run at £2,400 per year. Double glazing is fitted but dates from before 2002; main heating is gas boiler and radiators. The apartment is currently tenanted on a rolling agreement at £1,075 pcm (gross yield approx. 7%) and can be sold with tenants in situ or with vacant possession.
Location is a major selling point: Boscombe Pier, supermarkets and frequent bus routes are all within a few minutes’ walk. The wider area is a cosmopolitan, student-heavy neighbourhood, giving strong lettings demand but also higher local crime rates and marked deprivation. This suits investors or buyers who prioritise rental income and proximity to the seafront, but those seeking a quiet, low-crime suburb should note the area profile.
