Low-cost, low-maintenance one-bed near Southbourne beach — long lease and private storage.
Bright dual-aspect living room with good natural light
A compact, well-presented one-bedroom flat set on the second floor, ideal for a downsizer or someone seeking a low-maintenance seaside base. The layout makes efficient use of 312 sq ft, with a bright dual-aspect living area, modern shower room and a separate fitted kitchen. A large secure external storage room is a valuable extra for bikes or seasonal items.
The flat sits close to Southbourne High Street and award-winning beaches, with Pokesdown station within walking distance for regular services to Bournemouth and beyond. Practical running costs are attractive: a long 110-year lease, below-average service charge (£300pa), modest ground rent (£200pa) and very cheap council tax. Broadband speeds are fast and mobile signal is excellent, useful if you work from home occasionally or want reliable connectivity.
Notable trade-offs are the compact internal space (312 sq ft) and classification of the wider area as deprived, which may affect resale premium compared with more affluent pockets. Crime levels are average. The property is leasehold and in a communal retirement-type setting; prospective buyers should check any eligibility or occupancy rules that apply. Overall, this is a straightforward, low-cost ownership option close to shops, transport and the seafront—best suited to single occupants, couples looking to downsize, or buy-to-let investors seeking coastal rental demand.
