Summary - LULWORTH HOUSE, 45 FLAT 10 CAVENDISH ROAD BOURNEMOUTH BH1 1RA
2 bed 1 bath Apartment
Bright two-bedroom flat with garage and long lease near town and beach.
Share of freehold with a very long 981-year lease
Large lounge/diner with balcony and views over communal grounds
Private single garage plus exclusive access to large loft storage
Two double bedrooms; bright, efficient layout for family or tenants
Average service charge c. £2,000 per year; factor in communal costs
No lift — second-floor access via stairs only
Electric room heaters (no gas central heating) may raise running costs
Communal parking is first come, first served; no guaranteed space
Light-filled, well-proportioned second-floor apartment ideal for first-time buyers or buy-to-let investors. The long lease (981 years) and share of freehold give ownership stability, while a private garage and exclusive loft access add useful storage and convenience. The large lounge/diner opens onto a covered balcony overlooking tidy communal grounds, creating pleasant indoor-outdoor flow in a central Bournemouth location close to beaches and town amenities.
Practical features include a contemporary fitted kitchen and a modern tiled bathroom; both appear serviceable but offer sensible scope for cosmetic updating to increase value. The apartment is reached by stairs through well-kept communal hallways (no lift) and benefits from good broadband and mobile coverage — useful for working from home or letting.
Costs and constraints are straightforward: an average annual service charge of around £2,000 and first-come, first-served communal parking at the rear. Heating is by electric room heaters rather than central gas, which may affect running costs. The building dates from the late 1960s/early 1970s and has double glazing, though installation dates are unspecified.
Overall this compact two-bedroom home offers a secure, low-maintenance seaside base with immediate rental potential or a comfortable first home. Buyers seeking more garden space or gas central heating should note the apartment’s format and heating type, but those prioritising location, long lease length and secure garage will find solid practical value here.
