A compact ground-floor studio in a converted Edwardian block, this chain-free flat is an affordable entry into Boscombe living. The apartment has high ceilings and a separate kitchen, giving the open living area a more usable feel than a typical single-room studio. An allocated off-street parking space and proximity to award-winning beaches add genuine lifestyle and rental appeal.
Practical running costs are clear: 152 years remaining on the lease, a service charge of £1,537.50 per annum and peppercorn ground rent. Heating is by electric storage heaters and the property uses electricity as its main fuel — suitable for buyers comfortable with electric systems, but likely to cost more than a gas-heated home. The EPC rating is D (58).
The block shows period character (Edwardian/Victorian features and double glazing), though walls are cavity as built with no confirmed insulation — buyers should expect possible upgrade or insulation work. The apartment is small (~311 sq ft) and arranged as a studio, so it suits a single occupant, first-time buyer, or investor targeting holiday/long-let demand rather than a household needing separate bedrooms.
Location strengths include excellent mobile signal, fast broadband, plentiful local amenities, good nearby schools and direct access to the seafront. There is no flooding risk and parking is allocated within a communal car park. Holiday lets and pets are permitted with management company permission.
