Set on the ground floor of a mid-20th century residential block, this one-bedroom flat offers an affordable entry into central Bournemouth close to transport links, shops and the seafront. The long lease (approx. 980 years) and share of freehold provide secure ownership potential, while UPVC double glazing and off‑street residents’ parking add practical value.
The layout is straightforward: entrance hall with storage, double bedroom, bathroom, lounge/diner and kitchen. The apartment is sold vacant with no forward chain, making it suitable for a buyer who wants a quick move-in or an investor seeking a short-term refurbishment project to improve rental yield.
The property requires cosmetic updating throughout — fresh decor, modern fixtures and some kitchen/bathroom renewal will be needed to maximise comfort and value. Note the building has an average service charge of £1,400 per year and the immediate neighbourhood records higher crime and local deprivation statistics; buyers should factor these into ongoing running costs and rental assumptions.
Location is the flat’s strength: 0.5 miles to the train/bus station, 0.9 miles to Boscombe Beach and close to Lansdowne’s bars and restaurants. For purchasers seeking an affordable central flat with strong transport links and clear refurbishment potential, this offers a practical, low-risk platform to add value.
