Local area recorded as very high crime — consider security implications
Set on Bournemouth’s East Cliff, this newly refurbished three-bedroom flat offers rare elevated sea views from a first-floor position. The apartment is presented vacant with no onward chain, benefitting from secure underground parking, a resident caretaker, and well-kept communal grounds. The open-plan living/dining area opens to an enclosed balcony where the coastal outlook is the property’s standout feature.
The interior has been fully refurbished with a modern kitchen, contemporary bathroom and en‑suite, and built-in wardrobes to the principal bedroom. The home is connected to communal gas central heating and has usable storage space and a large cupboard for utilities. With 961 sq ft, the layout suits a family or buyer wanting comfortable coastal living close to Bournemouth Pier and local amenities.
Practical considerations are straightforward: this is a share-of-freehold with 146 years remaining on the lease and an average service charge of £3,257.86 (six months to 1 July 2025). Council tax is described as expensive. The block dates from the late 1970s–early 1980s and the double glazing was installed before 2002, so some historic elements remain despite the recent refurbishment.
Location benefits (schools, transport, leisure) are strong, but buyers should note the recorded very high local crime level and that heating is run via a communal gas scheme. These facts, together with the service charge level, are important when weighing ongoing costs against the property’s seaside position and turnkey condition.
