This bright two-double-bedroom first-floor apartment in Grand Marine Court puts Bournemouth’s West Cliff and sandy beaches on your doorstep. The building’s Edwardian character is reflected in high ceilings and a bay window, while the kitchen has been recently updated with modern units, marble-effect worktops and integrated appliances. Both bedrooms include ensuite showers, making the flat comfortable for sharers or a small family.
Practical benefits include lift access, a long share-of-freehold lease (circa 989 years), no onward chain and access to a residents’ car park by permit (first come, first served). The apartment comes with off-street parking availability and permits pets with management consent — helpful extras for many buyers.
Notable running costs and constraints are factual: annual service charges are approximately £4,118 (including building insurance and water), and the property uses electric heating with no central heating system currently present. The building’s cavity walls are assumed uninsulated, so further insulation or heating upgrades may be needed to improve efficiency and comfort. The immediate area records a very high crime level and displays indicators of deprivation; buyers should factor local safety and amenity trade-offs into their decision.
Overall this is a well-presented seaside apartment that suits first-time buyers seeking proximity to the beach or investors targeting short-term lets. It offers strong location value and ready-to-live-in condition but also requires attention to heating and long-term running costs when assessing affordability.
