This two-bedroom flat occupies a mid-century purpose-built block close to Boscombe Chine Gardens and the beach, offering practical space and a sunny west-facing balcony. Internally the layout is traditional: entrance hall, living room with balcony access, fitted kitchen, two double bedrooms and a family bathroom. The flat comes with a private garage (power and lighting), resident parking, lift access and a secure intercom entry.
Ownership features are strong for buyers seeking security: a long lease (930 years remaining), share of freehold and chain-free sale. Broadband and mobile signals are excellent, and UPVC double glazing is fitted throughout. The balcony and communal gardens provide outdoor space with direct gated access into Boscombe Chine Gardens and pedestrian routes to the beach.
Buyers should be aware of several practical considerations. Heating is electric via room heaters rather than a communal or gas system, which can mean higher running costs. The development’s service charge is around £3,000 per year. The wider area scores as very deprived with high local crime levels, and the neighbourhood includes cosmopolitan student activity and a mix of migrant families — factors to weigh for families or those prioritising quieter streets.
This flat will suit first-time buyers or investors who want seaside proximity, long-lease security and a lock-up garage. It also offers straightforward refurbishment potential: modernising the kitchen and bathroom or upgrading heating could increase comfort and value. Viewings will suit anyone seeking convenient access to Bournemouth town centre, public transport and local amenities while prioritising a secure, long-lease flat with outside space.
