Summary - 5 Albert House, Adelaide Lane, BOURNEMOUTH BH1 1AU
1 bed 1 bath Studio
Affordable town-centre pied-à-terre close to transport and beaches.
Chain free studio with long lease
A compact studio in the heart of Bournemouth, this ground/upper-floor apartment suits a first-time buyer wanting town-centre convenience. The open-plan living area includes a modern fitted kitchen and a separate three-piece shower room within a modest 33.2 m² (approx. 358 ft²) footprint. The property is sold chain free and benefits from a long lease and recent double glazing.
The location is the main draw: immediate access to shops, cafes, theatres, the train and bus stations, plus award-winning beaches within walking distance. Council tax is very low, and the apartment’s position above retail units makes it an easy, low-maintenance home or a straightforward rental option for investors targeting students or city professionals.
There are notable compromises to accept. Heating is by electric room heaters rather than gas central heating, and broadband speeds are very slow — both limit comfort for full-time homeworking. The building sits in a higher-crime, deprived urban area and faces an urban street outlook with no private outdoor space. Noise from the commercial street below is likely at busier times.
Overall this is an affordable, central studio that works best for buyers prioritising location and low upfront cost over space and high-spec utilities. It will suit a first-time purchaser, student investor, or someone seeking a compact pied-à-terre, provided you’re comfortable with electric heating, limited storage, and urban living.
