This bright first-floor apartment offers a ready-to-move-in seaside base with 773 sqft of practical living space. The lounge-diner opens onto a sunny south-facing balcony overlooking mature communal grounds, and the kitchen/breakfast room gives flexible space for everyday dining. Two double bedrooms suit a couple, small family or home-working setup. The property comes with a single garage plus allocated parking and ample visitor spaces.
The long share of freehold (c.983 years) and clear layout are strong ownership advantages. The building is well maintained and set in attractive landscaped grounds close to Westbourne’s shops, cafés and Bournemouth’s beaches. Fast broadband and excellent mobile signal support home working and streaming.
Notable practical points: heating is by electric storage heaters and the cavity walls are assumed to have no added insulation, which can mean higher energy bills. The annual service charge is around £2,200. Local crime is reported above average — worth checking how this affects you. Overall, the apartment is a comfortable, well-located purchase suited to first-time buyers or buy-to-let investors who value seaside living and straightforward accommodation.
