Service charges and ground rent apply (details not provided).
Overall, the apartment will suit a buyer seeking low-maintenance, managed retirement accommodation in central Bournemouth who accepts modest space and electric heating. It offers tranquillity, communal facilities and security, but the lease length and heating type are material factors to review carefully.
