Summary - 16 BORTHWICK ROAD BOURNEMOUTH BH1 4ER
2 bed 1 bath Flat
Long lease, private garden, close to beaches — ideal for first-time buyers or investors.
Two-bedroom first-floor flat with private rear garden and summerhouse
A well-presented two-bedroom first-floor flat set within a converted 1930s detached house, offered with a long lease (approx. 140 years) and a private rear garden. The layout includes a spacious reception room, fitted kitchen, modern bathroom, and an outside WC and summerhouse — practical extras for storage and garden use. Heating is gas boiler and radiators with UPVC double glazing already installed.
The property will suit first-time buyers or investors seeking an affordable Bournemouth residence close to award-winning beaches, regular transport and a wide range of local amenities. Broadband and mobile signal are strong, supporting home working or rental demand. Nearby schools have generally good Ofsted outcomes, which supports family appeal.
Buyers should note material negatives factually: the area records high crime and is assessed as very deprived, which may affect resale or rental yields. The building shows signs of external maintenance needs and possible roof repairs; cavity walls are recorded as having no installed insulation (assumed) and glazing predates 2002. Ground rent is modest (£50/year) and service charges are 'as and when'. No flood risk is recorded.
