Summary - 17 CORPORATION ROAD BOURNEMOUTH BH1 4SJ
3 bed 1 bath Terraced
Chain-free three-bedroom terrace close to Bournemouth station — ripe for modernisation..
Freehold Victorian terraced house, chain free
Set back in a quiet cul-de-sac close to Bournemouth station and town centre, this Victorian terraced home offers immediate occupancy and scope to add value. The layout includes two reception rooms, a separate kitchen and three double bedrooms across two floors — generous proportions for a small footprint. The private rear courtyard is low-maintenance and practical for city living.
This freehold property is chain free and suited to first-time buyers or buy-to-let investors prepared to modernise. The house retains period features such as a Victorian fireplace and sash-style windows but is sold as in need of renovation; updates to finishes, insulation and possible loft conversion (STPP) would improve comfort and long-term value. Heating is provided by a mains-gas boiler and double glazing is present, though dates and insulation standards are uncertain.
Be aware of material negatives: the property sits in a very deprived area with high local crime rates, and the walls are assumed to be uninsulated cavity construction — so buyers should budget for energy-efficiency work. The overall plot and garden are small, and the total internal area is modest at around 761 sq ft. Prospective purchasers are advised to obtain a full survey and service checks before committing.
For buyers seeking a well-located, affordable entry into Bournemouth’s housing market, this house offers strong rental and resale potential once modernised. Its proximity to schools, shops, transport links and the town centre makes it practical for everyday life while improvements will unlock greater comfort and returns.
