Compact period flat with private garden and modern heating, ideal for first-time buyers.
Chain free with 137 years remaining on lease
A bright first-floor two-bedroom flat on a tree-lined avenue, offered chain free with a long 137-year lease. The property sits in an affluent, very low-crime neighbourhood and benefits from gas central heating, double glazing and a recently replaced roof. Outside is a private rear garden with patio, raised planters and a powered timber garden room — rare for a flat this size.
Accommodation is compact (about 560 sq ft) and practical: a bay-front main room that could function as a living room or main bedroom, a second smaller bedroom, a fitted kitchen and a bathroom with a roll-top bath and mixer shower. The building dates from the 1930s and retains period character, including a bay window and fireplace that will appeal to buyers wanting personality and scope for tasteful updating.
This flat is best suited to first-time buyers or those downsizing who value outdoor space and location over generous internal room sizes. There is clear potential to modernise the kitchen and complete some fireplace and cosmetic repairs to increase comfort and value. Practical benefits include a long lease, low council tax (Band B), excellent mobile and fast broadband options.
Notable negatives are the small overall footprint and some required maintenance/repairs (fireplace repair and cosmetic work). Buyers should note the property is leasehold and confirm service charges and ground rent before committing. Viewing is recommended for those seeking an affordable entry into a desirable Bournemouth suburb with garden space and good local schools.
