A substantial seven-bedroom, four-bath apartment across a Victorian four-storey building on Queens Road offering clear conversion potential for investors. The 2,834 sq ft layout and high ceilings retain period character and provide flexible options to create multiple flats (subject to planning).
The location is a primary strength: cosmopolitan, student-friendly neighbourhood with excellent transport links, abundant local amenities and only a 15-minute walk to the beach and Bournemouth town centre. Fast broadband and excellent mobile signal support rental demand from students, young professionals and short-term stays.
Key practical facts are straightforward. The property is leasehold with 125 years remaining, a modest ground rent of £100 per annum and council tax band D. The building needs cosmetic work and some rooms (notably a loft room) lack building-regulation confirmation; conversions will require planning and building‑regulation compliance. Crime levels in the area are above average, which should be considered for rental pricing and security measures.
For an investor prepared to manage works and permissions, this period property represents an opportunity to add value through refurbishment or conversion into multiple units. The combination of size, location and character makes it well suited to a buy-to-let portfolio or redevelopment plan, provided the necessary permissions and budget for cosmetic and regulatory upgrades are in place.
