Spacious apartment a short walk from town and the beach.
Chain-free one-bedroom apartment with long lease (approx. 152–153 years)
This one-bedroom apartment in Lansdowne House offers a central, walkable location between Bournemouth town centre and the beach — ideal for a first-time buyer seeking convenience and coastal lifestyle. The flat is chain-free with a long lease (approx. 152–153 years) and includes communal gas heating and hot water in the service charge, simplifying running costs for residents.
Internally the accommodation is well-proportioned: a large living room, double bedroom, separate kitchen, bathroom and an additional cloakroom provide flexible space for everyday living. UPVC double glazing and a C-rated EPC reflect reasonable thermal performance for the building’s 1930–1949 construction era, while the communal heating arrangement removes the need for an individual boiler.
Important practical points: the service charge is substantial at £4,364.66 pa, and ground rent of £120 pa applies. Off-street parking is available on a first-come, first-served residents-permit basis only. The building shows its mid-20th-century origins — cavity walls are recorded with no added insulation (assumed), which may affect long-term heating costs and retrofit potential.
The surrounding area is lively and well served with shops, cafes, transport links and schools, but it is also described as a cosmopolitan, student-oriented neighbourhood with a very high local crime statistic; buyers should weigh the central location and rental/investment appeal against that context. Overall, this apartment suits a buyer wanting a spacious, central one-bedroom home with low immediate maintenance responsibility but with higher annual service costs to consider.
