This first-floor apartment in Crescent Court offers over 1,000 sq ft of flexible living space with three double bedrooms and a bright lounge/diner. Its position directly opposite Durley Chine provides immediate access to Bournemouth’s sandy beaches and coastal walks, making it an attractive home for families seeking space near the sea.
Practical features include a kitchen/diner with room for casual dining, a bathroom plus separate WC, lift access, and secure allocated off-street parking. The block is Share of Freehold with a long lease (about 172 years remaining). Recent communal works to replace the fire system explain the current above-average service charge of £4,920 per year; this is expected to reduce once works complete.
Buyers should note material drawbacks: heating is by electric storage heaters and the EPC rating is D (55), which may mean higher running costs. The development does not permit lettings and pets are prohibited, limiting buy-to-let or pet-owner options. The local area records very high crime levels and is described as deprived, so buyers prioritising quiet, low-crime neighbourhoods should consider this carefully.
Overall, the home suits a family or buyers wanting generous rooms and quick beach access who are comfortable with the current service charge arrangement and electric heating. The apartment’s size and layout offer potential to personalise and improve energy performance over time.
