Summary - ADDISCOMBE, 8 FLAT 3 CRANBORNE ROAD BOURNEMOUTH BH2 5BR
1 bed 1 bath Apartment
Bright ground-floor one-bedroom with private garden — minutes from town and beach.
One double bedroom ground-floor garden flat with private outdoor space
This ground-floor one-bedroom garden flat offers a compact, well-presented home within minutes of Bournemouth town centre and the beaches. High ceilings and newly laid engineered oak flooring in the lounge and bedroom create a bright, airy feel; large windows frame greenery and bring generous natural light. The private, low-maintenance garden (artificial grass and patio) genuinely extends the living space — uncommon for a flat at this price point.
Practical ownership is reinforced by an extremely long lease (934 years remaining) and a share of freehold. Service charges are modest at £960 per year and there is no ground rent. The layout includes a good entrance hall with extensive storage, loft access, a communal storage room and limited off-street parking — useful extras for cyclists or occasional drivers.
Buyers should be aware the property sits in a busy, diverse urban area with very high local crime and higher-than-average deprivation. The flat is of 1930s construction with cavity walls likely uninsulated and double glazing of unknown age; this may affect heating efficiency despite mains-gas boiler radiators. Broadband speeds are average. The apartment is compact (approximately 539 sq ft) and will suit a single professional, couple, first‑time buyer or investor rather than someone needing larger family space.
Overall this is a convenient, well-located starter home or rental opportunity with outdoor space, long lease and low running charges. The principal trade-offs are neighbourhood safety concerns, some likely thermal inefficiency, and limited internal space — factors buyers and landlords should factor into budgeting and plans.
