This compact one-bedroom second-floor flat offers an affordable entry into Bournemouth property ownership or a ready-made buy-to-let. Set within a converted period building, the apartment has an open-plan lounge/kitchen, a double bedroom and a modern bathroom. The flat is small (c. 356 sq ft) but presented tidy and move-in ready.
Practical value drivers include a long lease (approx. 153 years), a share of the freehold, an allocated off-street parking space and a single garage to the rear. The building sits back from Portchester Road with a communal front lawn and rear garden, and the location is very convenient — around 0.5 miles from the railway station, 0.8 miles to the town centre and roughly a mile from the beach.
As an investor the property is currently let at £650 pcm and can be sold with the tenant in situ; as a first-time buyer it’s available chain-free. Be aware this is a small apartment with low internal ceiling height in places and electric room heaters rather than gas central heating, which may mean higher running costs. The wider area mixes student and migrant-family communities and has higher-than-average deprivation indicators, facts that affect local lettings and resale profiles.
Overall, the flat suits someone seeking an economical starter home or an income-producing asset in a well-connected coastal town. The long lease, parking and proximity to transport and leisure make it practical; budget-conscious buyers should factor in potential heating costs and the compact internal space when viewing.
