This two-bedroom, second-floor apartment in Crescent Court offers a well-proportioned living space and a long lease with share of freehold—useful for first-time buyers seeking security. The living room opens onto a west-facing balcony that captures afternoon sun and provides an outdoor seating area. The block had a new roof fitted in 2022 and sits within easy reach of Bournemouth promenade and beaches (approx. 0.6 miles).
The apartment includes a separate cloakroom plus a family bathroom, a practical layout for everyday life or letting. The kitchen is a modern shaker style and there is a hallway storage cupboard; total internal area is about 883 sq ft (average-sized). Heating is electric storage radiators and the property has double glazing (installation date unknown). EPC rating is C.
Practical costs and location considerations are important here. The annual service charge is sizeable at about £3,727 and heating runs on electricity which can be costly. Parking is unrestricted on-street with some driveway parking available, and council tax is Band C (described as affordable). The neighbourhood is a mixed, cosmopolitan area close to students and families; crime levels are reported as very high and the wider area shows higher deprivation, which will matter to some buyers.
Overall this apartment suits first-time buyers or investors who prioritise proximity to the seafront, a secure long lease with shared ownership, and ready-to-live-in accommodation. Buyers should budget for higher communal charges and electric heating costs, and be comfortable with the location’s local crime and deprivation indicators.
