Set just 100 metres from Southbourne High Street and 700 metres from the cliff-top promenade, this three-bedroom first-floor apartment delivers roomy, light-filled living in a Victorian building. The lounge/dining room's dual aspect and high ceilings add period character, while a kitchen/breakfast room and a family bathroom with separate shower serve everyday family needs. Pokesdown station is about 600 metres away, making commutes to Bournemouth and Poole straightforward.
Practical details that matter: the property is leasehold with 247 years remaining, double glazing installed post-2002, mains gas central heating and an EPC rating of C. Council tax is described as very cheap and the apartment’s layout of approximately five rooms across about 969 sq ft gives genuinely spacious accommodation for a seaside location.
Be aware of material points buyers should check: the service charge is charged “as and when” rather than a fixed sum, and the building's cavity walls are assumed to have no added insulation. Local crime rates are above average, and the building's mixed-use, Victorian urban location means potential noise and activity. Prospective purchasers are advised to commission their own surveys and service checks before committing.
This home will suit families looking for coastal living with good local schools and transport links, or buyers wanting a roomy period apartment to update and personalise. The position close to cafés, shops and the beach offers a lifestyle draw; the apartment requires standard due diligence rather than major structural alarm bells, offering clear potential for comfortable family living or a long-term buy-to-let opportunity.
