This two-bedroom ground-floor flat offers a rare combination of private outdoor space, off-street parking and a detached garage in a short walk to Southbourne Grove and the beach. The living room opens through French doors to a sunny rear garden with direct access, creating a light, practical layout suited to first-time buyers or buy-to-let investors.
The interior is well presented with a modern fitted kitchen, a large principal bedroom and a family bathroom. The property sits in a detached period building (c.1930–1949) with double glazing and gas central heating via boiler and radiators. It is sold chain-free with a share of freehold and only a peppercorn ground rent.
Practical considerations are clearly set out: the flat is small at approximately 612 sq ft, the service charge is about £1,200pa, and the cavity walls were built without added insulation (insulation may be required to improve thermal performance). The area is a mixed, cosmopolitan neighbourhood with good transport links — Pokesdown station is within walking distance — and local amenities include shops, cafes and schools.
Overall this property is best for buyers seeking an affordable seaside-adjacent home or a lettable asset that already benefits from private outdoor space, parking and a garage. Buyers wanting larger living space or higher thermal efficiency should factor potential improvement costs into their plans.
