Summary - 11A FORTESCUE ROAD BOURNEMOUTH BH3 7JT
2 bed 1 bath Apartment
Character first-floor flat with garage and loft conversion potential close to Charminster.
First-floor two double bedrooms with character features
This well-presented two-double-bedroom first-floor apartment sits within a Victorian semi-detached property and offers character features, a private entrance and a detached garage. The layout is comfortable for first-time buyers seeking move-in-ready accommodation with scope to increase space — planning and lease permission already allow a loft conversion (Application 7-2024-15252-C).
Accommodation includes a bay-front lounge, fitted kitchen and a fully tiled wet room. Many period details remain, including coved ceilings and a feature fireplace, while modern comforts include gas central heating and double glazing. The property comes with a small gravelled front garden and direct access to a single detached garage from the rear lane.
Important practical points: the apartment is leasehold (lease originally from 1988 and currently being extended — exact new term TBC), and the area records higher crime levels, which may concern some buyers. Internal space is average for the size (approximately 734 sq ft) with one bathroom only; the kitchen is compact if you plan frequent entertaining.
Location is a strong selling point: level walking distance to Charminster amenities, good broadband and mobile signal, and straightforward access to the town centre. For a first-time buyer wanting a character home with genuine potential to add value via the loft conversion and modest cosmetic updating, this offers a sensible and fairly priced opportunity in a popular, well-connected neighbourhood.
