Summary - MONKTON HEIGHTS, 4 FLAT 5 BOSCOMBE SPA ROAD BOURNEMOUTH BH5 1AU
1 bed 1 bath Flat
Sunny first-floor one-bed near Boscombe beach, ready to occupy.
Chain-free, share of freehold with 999 years remaining
A bright, spacious one-bedroom first-floor flat with period character and excellent access to Boscombe beach and pier. High ceilings and a full-height south-facing bay window give the generous living room a sunny, airy feel; the large double bedroom mirrors that scale. The building has a lift and allocated off-street parking, useful in this central coastal location.
Practical ownership is straightforward: chain-free sale, share of freehold and a long remainder of lease (999 years). The fitted kitchen and modern bathroom are functional for immediate occupation, making the apartment suitable for a first-time buyer or a buy-to-let investor looking for close-to-seafront rental potential.
Buyers should note the service charge is circa £2,400 per year and the wider area scores as very deprived with higher recorded crime levels; these are important factors for living comfort and lettability. The building dates from the early 20th century and walls are assumed to be uninsulated cavity construction — further insulation or energy improvements may be required. As with older properties, purchasers should satisfy themselves on structural and service condition before committing.
Overall this flat offers generous room proportions, parking and immediate seaside access, balanced against higher running costs and neighbourhood considerations. It will suit someone seeking space and location who is comfortable with the area profile and potential improvement works.
