A spacious four-bedroom top-floor apartment in an early 20th-century building, offered by modern auction. The flat occupies generous rooms with high ceilings and period bay windows, and benefits from its own private rear garden and an allocated off-street parking space — rare for a flat so close to Boscombe seafront and local shops. The layout includes a separate kitchen with an adjoining utility room, a large sitting room and four double bedrooms, giving flexible options for families or rental use.
The property requires full modernisation: the kitchen and bathrooms are dated and heating is by electric room heaters. The lease will be reissued on completion but only c.53 years will remain, which is materially short and may prevent many high-street mortgage lenders from approving a mortgage. The sale is by Modern Auction: an undisclosed reserve price applies, buyer fees and a non-refundable reservation fee will be charged — buyers must read the auction pack and allow for additional costs.
For an investor or a buyer comfortable with a refurbishment project, this apartment offers clear value through its size, proximity to the beach and local transport links. Potential exists for reconfiguration or rental to multiple occupants (subject to consents). Proceed only after full due diligence on lease terms, auction conditions and lending options — viewing recommended for those equipped to complete a renovation and manage the auction process.
