Compact, well-presented apartment ideal for first-time buyers near Westbourne.
Second-floor one-bedroom flat, approx 355 sq ft
This light second-floor one-bedroom apartment offers compact, well-presented living in a Victorian red-brick building, less than a mile from Bournemouth beach and a short walk to Westbourne. The open-plan living and kitchen area benefits from large westerly bay windows, wood flooring and integrated kitchen appliances — ideal for single buyers or couples seeking a low-maintenance city pad close to shops and transport.
Practical running costs are straightforward: the flat has electric storage heating and double glazing, a modest annual service charge (£515) and low ground rent (£100). The lease has about 102 years remaining, and there is no onward chain, which can make for a smoother purchase process. Broadband and mobile connectivity are strong, supporting remote working or streaming.
Buyers should note the apartment’s compact footprint (approximately 355 sq ft) and the building’s solid brick construction with assumed no cavity wall insulation. Electric heating can be more expensive than gas, and the local crime rate is above average — factors to weigh alongside the location benefits. Overall, this property suits first-time buyers or buy-to-let investors seeking a central, seaside-edge home with scope for cosmetic personalisation.
