This two-bedroom first-floor apartment in a 1930s Art Deco block offers a compact, well-located home with clear practical benefits for a first-time buyer. The building recently had a new roof installed and the flat comes with a newly extended 110-year lease, making long-term ownership straightforward. A communal front garden and off-street parking (first-come, first-served) add outdoor space and convenience that are rare at this price level.
Inside, the layout is efficient across approximately 564 sq ft: a bay-windowed lounge/diner with a feature fireplace, two bedrooms, a modern U-shaped kitchen and a family bathroom, plus a separate WC. The apartment has double glazing, a gas boiler alongside electric heating, and generally well-presented rooms in a period shell — suitable to move into as-is or to update to personal taste.
Important practical points are transparent: the property is leasehold (110 years remaining) with an annual service charge around £1,500 and ground rent £100 per year. The flat is small in overall size and will suit buyers who prioritise location and affordability over generous living space. Parking is not allocated and is on a first-come basis. Prospective purchasers should arrange independent checks on services and appliances.
Located in Charminster, the flat sits close to shops, cafes, buses and highly regarded schools, with fast broadband and excellent mobile signal — helpful for working from home or commuting into Bournemouth. Offered chain free with a guide price of £140,000–£150,000, this apartment represents an accessible entry into homeownership with scope to personalise and add value.
