Chain-free flat minutes from Bournemouth beaches — a practical downsizing or coastal base..
Chain-free two-bedroom flat on fourth floor with lift access
Set on the fourth floor of a McCarthy & Stone development, this chain-free two-bedroom flat offers a practical, low-maintenance base minutes from Bournemouth town centre and its beaches. The apartment’s two large double bedrooms and a generous living room provide comfortable space for daily living, while large windows bring in good natural light. Residents benefit from a communal lounge, laundry room and lift access to all floors.
This is a leasehold property with 86 years remaining and a service charge of £4,296pa, which is above average and covers communal services and planned redecoration. Heating is via electric storage heaters and the building uses electricity as the main fuel — buyers should note running costs can be higher than gas-heated homes. The bathroom has been recently updated; other interior areas are traditionally laid out and may benefit from modern cosmetic refreshes.
Location is a clear strength: under a mile to Bournemouth’s sandy shoreline, within easy walking distance of shops, cafés and local amenities, and with excellent mobile signal and fast broadband. The surrounding area is lively and well served, though local crime levels are reported as high and the wider area shows signs of deprivation — factor this into daytime and evening personal security considerations.
Overall, the flat suits someone looking to downsize or secure a coastal pied-à-terre close to town amenities, who accepts the leasehold structure, higher communal costs and electric heating. Investors should be aware of the service charge level and local area profile; buyers wanting long-term ownership should check lease-extension options and budget for ongoing communal charges and potential décor updates.
