Summary - 16 FLAT B ALUMHURST ROAD BOURNEMOUTH BH4 8ER
1 bed 1 bath Apartment
Compact, well-located city flat ideal for first-time buyers or investors.
First-floor studio with separate kitchen and bathroom
Set just a short walk from Westbourne village, this bright first-floor studio offers an affordable city-base or rental opportunity. The apartment sits in a characterful early 20th-century building and benefits from double glazing, mains gas central heating and a very long 999-year lease. It is offered with vacant possession and no onward chain, and a share of freehold is being secured before completion to provide long-term security.
The accommodation is compact and practical: a versatile studio living space plus a separate kitchen and bathroom, with a private garden associated with the building. Broadband speeds are fast and mobile signal is excellent, making the flat suitable for flexible working or short-term lets. With local shops, cafés, and Westbourne’s amenities on the doorstep, daily needs and leisure are close at hand.
Buyers should note the broader context: the local area is classified as deprived with higher-than-average crime levels, which may affect resale or rental demand and insurance costs. The building’s solid brick walls are assumed to have no cavity insulation, so buyers should budget for potential energy-efficiency work. Council tax information is not provided and tenure details are being finalised, although the 999-year lease and share of freehold in progress reduce long-term leasehold risks.
Overall this studio suits a first-time buyer seeking an entry-level property near Westbourne, or an investor looking for a low-maintenance coastal rental. It offers clear positives—location, long lease, vacant possession—balanced by local area challenges and likely future upgrade costs for insulation and energy efficiency.
