This top-floor two-bedroom apartment sits in a converted Victorian building a short walk from Bournemouth’s award-winning beaches. The open-plan reception and separate modern kitchen create a comfortable living space for a first home, while allocated off-street parking and access to a communal garden add practical convenience.
The property is offered chain free with a 999-year lease and a share of the freehold, making the purchase straightforward for first-time buyers. The flat is well presented and benefits from double glazing and modern kitchen appliances, with an average overall size of about 627 sq ft.
Buyers should note some practical considerations: heating is by electric storage heaters, and the building’s cavity walls are assumed uninsulated, which may affect running costs and comfort. There is an annual service charge (approx. 1,194) to cover communal maintenance. The local area is described as a cosmopolitan student neighbourhood within a wider area of migrant families and higher deprivation scores, which may influence investment rental demand and resale preferences.
For a buyer seeking an affordable seaside home or a buy-to-let opportunity, this property offers immediate move-in potential and long-term security via the extended lease. A viewing is recommended to appreciate layout, roof-space proportions, and how the apartment’s character fits your needs.
