This one-bedroom first-floor retirement apartment in Wellington Court offers low-maintenance living close to Bournemouth’s shops, transport and seafront attractions. The open-plan living area and good-sized double bedroom suit a downsizer seeking a compact, comfortable home with communal social life onsite.
Safety and convenience are strong points: a lodge manager five days a week, a 24-hour Careline emergency system, secure entry and regular social events provide peace of mind and easy companionship. Residents benefit from landscaped gardens, an owners’ private car park and a guest suite for visiting family.
Practical considerations are clear and factual. Heating is via electric storage heaters and the property uses electricity as its main fuel; buyers should expect higher running costs than gas-heated homes. The annual service charge is £2,900.86, covering many communal services but representing a material ongoing cost. The flat is leasehold with around 129 years remaining — a long lease but note the ownership structure and any resale costs.
Overall this apartment suits someone wanting a secure, social retirement setting within Bournemouth, close to amenities and transport. It presents straightforward, ready-to-live-in accommodation with predictable communal management and some higher running costs because of electric heating and service charges.
