Well-presented two-bedroom flat in central Bournemouth offering a compact, low-maintenance home with excellent location perks. The apartment benefits from a private balcony, lift access and communal gardens, making it an attractive option for first-time buyers or buy-to-let investors seeking seaside proximity.
The property has a long lease (980 years) and share of freehold, reducing long-term leasehold costs and providing security of tenure. Interiors are modern and neutrally decorated, with double glazing and electric room heaters; the kitchen is fitted and the principal bedroom has built-in wardrobes. Broadband speeds and mobile signal are both good, supporting home working and streaming.
Be clear about the trade-offs: the flat is modest at around 556 sq ft, with only on-street parking and a notable service charge (approx. £1,640.76 yearly). Heating is electric (room heaters), which may mean higher running costs compared with gas. The building dates from the mid-20th century and walls likely lack cavity insulation, so consider energy-efficiency improvements.
Location is the strongest selling point: a tree-lined outlook, short walk to Bournemouth beaches, town centre amenities and the train station. Nearby schools and plentiful local shops, cafés and leisure options add practical appeal. Given its size, layout and location this flat suits first-time owners looking for a central base or landlords targeting strong rental demand by the sea.
