Summary - 13c Castlemain Avenue BH6 5EH
2 bed 1 bath Flat
Compact seafront-adjacent starter or rental with parking and no onward chain.
Top-floor two-bedroom flat, approx. 475 sq ft
This two-bedroom top-floor flat sits just off Southbourne Grove, within easy walking distance of shops, cafés and the clifftop path to the beach. At about 475 sq ft it offers a compact, economical layout with a lounge, fitted kitchen, bathroom and two bedrooms — the second bedroom is a smaller single that also works well as a home office.
Practical benefits include gas central heating, double glazing, one allocated off-street parking space on the gravel driveway, low annual service charge (£300) and no onward chain. The lease has 101 years remaining, making this a straightforward purchase for a first-time buyer or a buy-to-let investor seeking a low-entry property near the seafront.
Buyers should note the flat’s modest overall size and clustered layout: storage and living space are limited compared with larger homes. The area records above-average crime levels, and the accommodation is on the top floor with stair access only. Fixtures and appliances are untested and the property will suit someone seeking an economical starter home or letting opportunity rather than a large-family residence.
Overall, the property gives an affordable route into the Southbourne market with clear income or owner-occupier potential, but it requires realistic expectations about space, security statistics and the nature of a leasehold flat.
