Set in a gated mews just yards from Bournemouth’s seafront, this three-bedroom apartment offers spacious, traditional accommodation across generous rooms. The layout includes a long lounge with dining area, a fitted kitchen, three bedrooms and two shower rooms — arranged over a split-level first-floor plan that suits sharers, small families or rental portfolios. A secure garage with automatic door and additional storage is a useful, uncommon benefit for central locations.
The development is well maintained with double glazing, gas central heating and laminate, tiled and carpeted floors throughout. The lease is effectively freehold with 959 years remaining and a low annual service charge of £800. An EPC rating of C indicates reasonable energy performance for the period property.
Important drawbacks are factual: the neighbourhood is a cosmopolitan, student-heavy area with a very high local crime rate and signs of deprivation, which may affect future resale or owner-occupier quiet enjoyment. Proximity to nightlife and local entertainment brings convenience but also potential noise. Broadband speeds are average; some buyers may wish to upgrade services or modernise internal finishes.
Overall this property is best for buyers seeking a central, seaside-positioned home with strong rental potential or those prepared to invest in selective updates. The long lease and garage increase practical value, but purchasers should consider the local crime profile and tenant mix when assessing suitability.
