This well-presented one-bedroom first-floor flat sits a short, level walk from Bournemouth town centre and award-winning beaches, offering an easy coastal lifestyle. The open-plan living room and kitchen maximise the apartment's 476 sq ft, and double glazing plus mains gas heating provide practical comfort. The property benefits from a long 120-year lease, an allocated off-street parking space and pets allowed with permission, making it flexible for owner-occupiers or buy-to-let buyers.
Running costs include an average service charge of £1,811 and a small annual ground rent of £249. The local area shows high crime levels and is classed as very deprived, which will influence both living experience and rental demand; nearby amenities, good mobile/broadband and several well-rated schools partly offset this. Council tax is very cheap, helping to keep ongoing household costs low.
Overall this apartment suits a first-time buyer seeking an affordable entry to Bournemouth or an investor looking for a compact, let-ready flat close to transport links and the seafront. It is presented in move-in condition but given the context of the wider area, buyers should assess local market rents and personal security preferences before proceeding.
