Set on the second floor of the modern UrbanShore development, this one-bedroom apartment places Bournemouth’s town centre and sandy beaches within easy walking distance. Built in 2021, the home benefits from contemporary finishes, underfloor heating, LED downlights and an open-plan living area that maximises its compact 410 sq ft footprint. An allocated off-street parking space adds convenience for city residents.
The apartment is ready to move into and retains the remainder of a new-build warranty. Practical features include integrated kitchen appliances, Amtico-style flooring and good storage for a property of this size. The long lease and modern build make it straightforward to buy as a first home, lock-up-and-leave base or buy-to-let.
Buyers should note the property is leasehold with around 121 years remaining, an annual service charge of about £1,500 and ground rent of £230 per year. The overall internal area is small, so it suits someone seeking efficient, central living rather than expansive space. Local crime levels are recorded as very high — purchasers should factor local safety and security considerations into their decision.
In short: a modern, low-maintenance one-bedroom close to Bournemouth’s amenities and coastline, offering easy ownership and clear rental appeal, provided you accept the compact size and ongoing charges.
