This ground-floor converted flat in Charminster offers an affordable, practical entry into Bournemouth living. A private entrance and allocated off-street parking give urban convenience, while the dual-aspect lounge/diner and separate kitchen provide sensible, well-lit living space for a single person or couple.
The flat includes a generous double bedroom and a useful storage room that functions as a home office. Gas central heating, part UPVC double glazing and a recently renewed 125-year lease on completion make the tenure straightforward; EPC is D-rated. A small section of lawn is conveyed but is not fenced from the neighbour, so privacy is limited outside.
Lease costs are modest but notable: ground rent is £250 per year and maintenance is charged at 35% on an as-and-when basis, which could produce variable costs for communal work. The building is one of three flats in a larger detached building dating from the late 20th century conversion period, so communal decision-making affects larger repairs.
For first-time buyers or buyers seeking a compact city-base near schools and local amenities, this property is low-maintenance in day-to-day running (council tax band A, mains gas heating) and offers scope to personalise the garden and interior. The size and layout are efficient, making it a practical starter home in a well-connected Bournemouth suburb.
