Summary - ATHELSTAN ROAD, SOUTHBOURNE BH6 5LY
1 bed 1 bath Flat
Compact long-lease home with private lawn close to riverside amenities.
Chain-free one-bedroom ground-floor flat, 999-year share of freehold
This chain-free ground-floor apartment offers practical, low-maintenance living with genuine ownership security — a 999-year share of freehold. At 427 sq ft it suits a solo occupier or couple seeking a first home or a buy-to-let with reliable long-lease credentials. The layout includes a good-size living room, separate kitchen with breakfast bar and side access, one double bedroom and a three-piece bathroom.
Outdoor space is a standout for a flat: a private rear lawned garden (split down the middle) provides room for plants and outdoor seating. Off-street parking is available on a first-come, first-served basis. The location is well connected — short walks to Iford Playing Fields, the River Stour, Tuckton High Street and both Southbourne and Christchurch amenities.
The building dates from the mid-20th century and is generally well presented internally, though the exterior shows signs of ageing and may need attention; buyers should note potential external repair or refresh costs. The apartment is compact, so those needing more living space should consider the size carefully. Broadband speeds are fast and mobile signal excellent, and several well-rated schools are nearby.
Overall this property is a straightforward, low-risk purchase for a first-time buyer or investor who values long lease security, a private garden and a convenient, affluent neighbourhood. A viewing is recommended to appreciate proportions and garden layout in person.
