Summary - CANFORD GARDENS, 50 3 CANFORD ROAD BOURNEMOUTH BH11 8SA
2 bed 1 bath Apartment
Compact, low-cost flat with parking and communal garden, ideal first purchase.
Long lease remaining—about 145 years (good ownership term)
This compact two-bedroom first-floor flat offers an affordable entry into Bournemouth's property market. At about 512 sq ft, the apartment has a bright open-plan lounge/diner, a modern fitted kitchen with breakfast bar, and a recently described luxury shower room—suitable for first-time buyers or small households seeking a ready-to-move-in base.
Practical benefits include an allocated parking space plus visitor bays, a communal lawned garden, UPVC double glazing, and a long lease of approximately 145 years. Annual costs are modest: service charge around £300 per year and ground rent £200 per year. The property is offered chain free, which can speed completion.
Important considerations are the apartment’s size and heating: main heating is electric room heaters, so energy costs may be higher than gas-heated homes. The wider area has higher crime and relative deprivation indicators, which buyers should weigh against the low council tax band and local amenities. Buyers wanting major energy upgrades or different heating will face additional work and expense.
Viewing is recommended to judge layout and scale in person. Solicitors should confirm all lease terms, service charge details and any restrictions. A full survey is advised if you have specific concerns about maintenance, insulation or long-term running costs.
