Set in the Bristol & West development, this well-presented two-double-bedroom apartment offers contemporary, move-in-ready city-centre living just moments from Bournemouth’s shops, bars and beaches. The open-plan living space features a high-spec kitchen with quartz worktops, Smeg appliances and a breakfast bar, while engineered wood flooring and underfloor heating run throughout for a low-profile, comfortable finish. Access is convenient via lift or stairs to a secure communal entrance.
The flat sits on a long lease (140 years) and is sold chain-free, making it straightforward for first-time buyers or investors to proceed. Annual costs include an estimated service charge of around £2,000 and a ground rent of £250 per year (review schedule applies). Heating is electric via an air-source heat pump with underfloor distribution — efficient for a gas-free apartment but potentially higher running costs than mains gas in some circumstances.
This property suits buyers seeking a compact, modern urban home or a buy-to-let in a highly central location. Note the surrounding area is a cosmopolitan student neighbourhood with higher-than-average crime statistics; there is no private outdoor space and the building fronts a busy town-centre street. Short-term/holiday letting is restricted, which may limit that particular rental option.
Overall, the apartment offers a strong specification and excellent local amenities, balanced by ongoing service charges, ground rent reviews and the realities of town-centre living. Buyers should confirm running costs and lease particulars during legal and survey stages.
