Summary - Flat 7, The Lighthouse, 28 Stourcliffe Avenue BH6 3PT
2 bed 2 bath Apartment
Modern, low-maintenance flat ideal for first-time buyers near beach and transport.
Less than 300m to Southbourne cliff tops and promenade
Light-filled and well-presented, this two-bedroom first-floor flat sits less than 300 metres from Southbourne cliff tops and the sandy promenade. The open-plan lounge/kitchen opens onto a balcony, creating an airy living space for socialising or relaxing after a day at the beach. Both bedrooms are doubles; the principal bedroom includes built-in wardrobes and an en suite, while a separate family bathroom completes the accommodation.
Practical positives include allocated off-street parking, bicycle storage, an EPC rating of B and mains gas underfloor heating via a boiler. The building is relatively modern (built 2003–2006) and the flat benefits from double glazing and contemporary fittings in the kitchen and bathrooms. Fast broadband and excellent mobile signal support home working or streaming from the comfort of the flat.
Important points to note: the property is leasehold with about 105–106 years remaining and a service/maintenance charge of approximately £1,562 per year. The overall internal area is compact at about 509 sq ft, so buyers should expect efficient room sizes rather than expansive living spaces. Local recorded crime levels are higher than average; purchasers prioritising security or very quiet streets should investigate further.
This apartment will suit first-time buyers or investors seeking a coastal location with good transport links — Southbourne High Street, Pokesdown station and local amenities are all within walking distance. It offers low maintenance living with immediate move-in potential, but weigh the remaining lease term and service charge into long-term plans.
