Set within an imposing period building on Bournemouth’s sought-after East Cliff, this one‑bedroom first‑floor flat combines period charm with contemporary finishes. The bright lounge/diner benefits from a bay window and fitted shutters, creating an airy principal room well suited to everyday living or short‑term lets. The modern kitchen and stylish bathroom keep the apartment ready to move into.
Practical details support the purchase: off‑street parking for residents, a long lease (circa 261 years) and modest ground rent. Service charges are notable at around £2,120 per year; council tax is low. The apartment’s 484 sq ft layout is compact but efficient—ideal for a first‑time buyer, pied‑à‑terre or investor seeking a central coastal location.
Be realistic about the neighbourhood and running costs. The local area is described as a cosmopolitan student neighbourhood with higher crime levels and pockets of deprivation; this can affect rental demand and long‑term resale compared with quieter suburbs. Heating is by electric room heaters (confirm exact system at survey), and external walls are cavity as built with assumed no insulation — buyers should budget for energy improvements if desired.
Overall, this flat offers an attractive East Cliff address, period character and ready‑to‑use interiors. It suits buyers prioritising location and low entry cost over large private outdoor space, and those willing to accept higher local crime statistics in exchange for proximity to Bournemouth’s beaches, transport and amenities.
