Summary - Flat 9, 15-23 Poole Hill BH2 5PW
1 bed 1 bath Apartment
Chain-free city-centre one-bed — compact, affordable, and partly refurbished..
Chain-free one-bedroom second-floor apartment
A centrally located one-bedroom apartment offering city-centre living and straightforward purchase terms. The flat occupies the second floor of a Victorian mixed-use building and extends to around 496 sq ft, with a refitted kitchen, breakfast bar, lounge/diner and double bedroom. Some renovation work is in progress, and parts of the property have been updated recently.
This is a practical buy for a first-time purchaser or investor seeking a quick, chain-free acquisition. The 92-year lease provides long-term occupation, and double glazing has been installed since 2002. Note the property uses electric storage heaters and mains electricity, which can mean higher running costs compared with gas-heated homes.
Buyers should be aware of material local factors: the area is classified as deprived with very high crime rates, and the neighbourhood is a cosmopolitan, student-heavy city centre. Service charges average around £1,200 per year and the building dates from before 1900, so communal and long-term maintenance should be considered.
Overall this apartment combines central convenience and recent kitchen upgrades with clear renovation and location trade-offs. It is best suited to someone seeking an affordable, compact city home or an investor targeting city-centre rentals, provided they accept the local area challenges and service costs.
