This third-floor one-bedroom flat in Lansdowne House offers a compact, practical home just a short walk from Bournemouth town centre, mainline stations and the seafront. The sensible layout includes a generous lounge, separate kitchen, double bedroom, bathroom and a separate WC — a comfortable blank canvas for someone wanting to personalise a city-centre home.
The building benefits from double glazing and a community heating/hot-water scheme which is included in the service charge, a convenience for owners and landlords. A long lease (152 years remaining) provides security of tenure, and permit parking is available on a first-come, first-served basis.
Important practical points: the flat requires updating and will need renovation to modern standards, and the annual service charge is high (c. £4,000) though it covers heating, water and insurance. The area is a busy, multicultural student neighbourhood with very high local crime figures — factors to weigh for families or those seeking a quiet location.
For investors, the property is currently let at £860pcm, offering immediate rental income in a highly connected location. For first-time buyers, it is chain-free and sized for easy upkeep, but you should budget for refurbishment costs and the ongoing service charge when assessing affordability.
