Summary - 13 The Sleepers, 2, Northcote Road BH1 4SG
2 bed 1 bath Flat
Well-located near station and beaches, ideal for first-time buyers or investors.
Second-floor two-bedroom apartment, around 560 sq ft
A compact two-bedroom second-floor apartment in a purpose-built block, close to Bournemouth and Boscombe town centres. The flat has a separate kitchen, sitting room, and allocated off-street parking beneath the block, making it a practical city-base or starter home. Recent redecoration and double glazing give a fresh, low-immediate-maintenance feel.
The property is well placed for transport: under 500 metres to Bournemouth railway and coach station and around a mile from East Cliff beaches. Rooms are modest but sensibly arranged; roof windows bring extra daylight into the kitchen and second bedroom. The footprint (around 560 sq ft) suits a buying couple, first-time buyer or buy-to-let investor seeking rental demand from students and professionals.
Important leasehold facts: the lease runs to 125 years from May 2005 (about 106 years remaining), service charge c. £1,300 pa and ground rent c. £200 pa. Council Tax is Band B. Buyers should budget for these ongoing costs and for standard leasehold administration fees.
Location drawbacks are material: the local area registers high crime levels and is in a very deprived area classification, which will influence resale values and rental demand. The flat is small by two-bedroom standards and offers limited communal outdoor space; any buyer wanting more room or quieter surroundings should note these constraints.
