Summary - PALM LODGE, 2 FLAT 5 WATKIN ROAD BOURNEMOUTH BH5 1HP
1 bed 1 bath Flat
Compact coastal studio near beaches and transport, suitable for first-timers or investors.
Share of freehold; offered chain-free
This bright first-floor studio sits within a well-kept Edwardian building a short walk from Bournemouth’s award-winning beaches. The apartment is presented in good order, with double glazing, a fitted kitchen area with space for appliances and an allocated off-road parking space — practical perks for city living near the coast.
The property comes with a share of freehold and is offered chain-free, making it straightforward to purchase as a first home or a rental. Communal gardens are maintained and the building permits holiday lets, offering flexibility for an investor or owner-occupier wanting occasional rental income.
Important practical issues are clear and should influence buying decisions: the lease has around 60 years remaining, which may limit mortgage options and will require extension work and cost in future. Heating is by electric room heaters and the cavity walls are assumed to be uninsulated, so energy costs could be higher and insulation upgrades may be needed.
Other local factors to consider are the high crime level and the wider area’s high deprivation indicators, which may affect long-term resale and rental demand. Service charges average £1,200 per year. Viewings are recommended to assess space and layout for your needs.
