This ground-floor one-bedroom apartment in West Cliff offers a practical first step onto the Bournemouth property ladder. The flat benefits from a private balcony, communal front gardens and a newly extended lease to be provided on completion, with no forward chain — useful for a quick move.
The layout is spacious for the size, with a large entrance hall, living room, kitchen, double bedroom and bathroom across about 549 sq ft. Its close walking distance to Durley Chine, Bournemouth town centre and Westbourne makes it ideal for someone wanting easy access to beach, shops and transport.
The property requires modernisation throughout, so buyers should budget for refurbishment. Annual service charges are £1,612.52 and parking is on-street only. Crime levels in the area are above average, which buyers should consider alongside the excellent mobile signal, fast broadband and low flood risk.
Overall this is a value-led purchase for a first-time buyer or investor willing to improve the flat. The extended lease and central seaside location are strong positives; the refurbishment need, service charge and parking limitations are the main drawbacks to factor into costs and plans.
