This chain-free, split-level one-bedroom maisonette sits in a red-brick Victorian building a short walk from Bournemouth’s beaches and local shops. The property offers a generous bedroom, a bright lounge/diner and a modern-fitted kitchen within a compact 608–646 ft² footprint — an easy-to-manage home for a first purchase or a straightforward buy-to-let.
Practical benefits include a long lease (about 109 years remaining), a manageable ground rent (£150 pa) and permitted pets. The setting on Percy Road places you in a lively, cosmopolitan neighbourhood with fast broadband, good mobile signal and low local crime — useful for commuters, students or young professionals.
Buyers should note clear running-cost and energy points: the EPC is rated D, the main heating is electric storage heaters (the listing also references gas central heating), and the building’s cavity walls appear to have no fitted insulation. The annual service charge is relatively high at £1,608.48, and the property may benefit from energy-efficiency improvements to reduce bills.
Overall this is a practical, well-located ground-floor maisonette offering immediate occupation and rental potential. It suits first-time buyers wanting seaside access and a long lease, or investors seeking a city-centre rental with straightforward management, provided you budget for service charges and potential heating/insulation upgrades.
