A compact two-bedroom ground-floor flat in BH12, ideal for a first-time buyer seeking proximity to Westbourne and Bournemouth Gardens. The layout offers a lounge with direct access to a private patio, a separate kitchen, two bedrooms and a bathroom, all within a modest 595 sq ft. The property includes a garage and a Share of Freehold, with a long lease of 946 years and no onward chain.
Practical running costs are favourable: below-average service charge (£900) and low council tax. Transport and connectivity are strong — short walk to local amenities, excellent mobile signal and fast broadband — while low local crime and pleasant communal gardens make the setting peaceful and secure.
Notable fabric and services: the building dates from the late 1960s–1970s and has double glazing (install date unknown). Heating is by electric room heaters only; there is no communal gas central heating. Cavity walls are assumed to lack insulation, so buyers should consider efficiency upgrades and a potential heating overhaul.
This flat suits a buyer who wants a convenient, low-maintenance city-edge base with future renovation potential. The garage and private patio add practical value, but budget for possible improvements to heating and insulation to reduce running costs and improve comfort.
