Set a short walk from Southbourne cliff tops, this spacious first-floor one-bedroom apartment combines period character with contemporary comforts. The large living room and high ceilings reflect the building's late-Victorian origins, while a modern kitchen and well-kept bathroom make the flat immediately habitable.
Practical positives include dedicated off-street parking, fast broadband and excellent mobile signal, plus proximity to beaches, cafés and transport links. At roughly 700 sq ft the flat feels larger than many one-bed conversions and will suit buyers who value space and coastal access.
Buyers should note material constraints: the lease has around 60–61 years remaining, which will restrict mortgage options and likely require a cash buyer or lender willing to accept a short lease. Service charges are approximately £2,084 per year and the EPC is rated D. The building dates from c.1900–1929 and may show some period-related maintenance needs (possible damp in places; cavity walls assumed uninsulated).
This property will appeal to investors with cash or buyers planning to refinance after a lease extension, plus anyone seeking a roomy coastal pied-à-terre close to Bournemouth’s amenities. Expect a straightforward, characterful flat with clear long-term considerations around lease length and maintenance costs.
