Summary - 43 Southcote Road BH1 3SH
5 bed 2 bath Terraced
Period character with rental potential in central Bournemouth.
- Five bedrooms plus separate self-contained top-floor studio
This three-storey Victorian mid-terrace offers a flexible 5-bedroom layout across approximately 1,744 sq ft in central Bournemouth. The property includes a self-contained top-floor studio, two reception rooms, a kitchen/breakfast room and a courtyard garden, making it suitable for buy-to-let portfolios, multi-generational living or owner-occupiers seeking rental income from part of the home.
Period character is evident in the bay-fronted main reception and arched doorway, while practical additions include mains gas central heating and double glazing (installed before 2002). A brick-built, insulated studio/workshop with power and plumbing potential at the rear adds income or workspace possibilities.
Be upfront about the neighbourhood context: the location is within a cosmopolitan student and commuter zone with high crime levels and very high area deprivation. Some internal areas require updating — the small office has a low, textured ceiling and dated finishes — and the plot and garden are compact, limiting outdoor expansion.
For investors the combination of five bedrooms plus a self-contained studio, central transport links and excellent mobile/broadband makes the property attractive for HMO or shared-rental use. For homeowners, the house delivers generous internal space and period charm, but expect refurbishment costs and to weigh local area factors when assessing long-term plans.
