Compact coastal flat minutes from town and beaches, ideal for first-time buyers or investors.
Second-floor one-bedroom apartment with distant sea outlook
A compact one-bedroom apartment on the second floor of a handsome red-brick Edwardian block, offered with no onward chain and a very long lease (approx. 965 years). The open-plan living area has a large front window that captures distant sea views and provides natural light; the kitchen is fitted with integrated appliances and modern finishes. Tenure is share of freehold and service charges run at about £1,300 per year.
This property suits a first-time buyer or an investor seeking a straightforward coastal city purchase. Heating is by electric room heaters rather than a central gas system, which keeps the installation simple but can raise running costs. The bathroom is modern and the bedroom includes a fitted wardrobe, making the flat move-in ready for many buyers.
Practical points to note: the apartment is small (approx. 382 sq ft) and in a busy, cosmopolitan neighbourhood with above-average local crime statistics. Holiday lets are not permitted and pets require freeholder consent, which affects short-term rental flexibility. Access is via communal hallways with stairs and a lift; some photographs predate the current tenant.
Location is a genuine strength: a short walk to Bournemouth town centre, transport links and beaches, plus local shops, cafés and leisure amenities close by. For buyers prioritising proximity to the coast and low-entry ownership (share of freehold, long lease, no chain), this is a pragmatic, well-located option; for those needing larger living space or gas central heating, the flat will feel constrained.
