This spacious ground-floor character flat sits in a well-maintained Victorian building just minutes from Boscombe’s award-winning beaches, bars and high street. The flat has two double bedrooms, a stylish lounge with period features and a separate kitchen/breakfast room; a garden room opens onto a private deck and outside seating area. Allocated off-road parking and a very long lease (974 years) add practical appeal.
Recent updates include a new boiler in 2023 and new UPVC double glazing in 2024, helping with comfort and running costs. The property is offered chain-free and benefits from easy access to Bournemouth town centre and public transport, making it suitable as a first home or a rental investment. Council tax is low (Band A).
Buyers should note the service charge of £1,494 per year and an EPC rating of D. The building dates from the 1930–49 period and external walls are cavity construction with no added insulation (assumed) which may affect energy performance. The surrounding area is a cosmopolitan, student-oriented neighbourhood and parts of the wider locality are relatively deprived, which may influence resale and rental demand.
