This spacious two-double-bedroom first-floor apartment occupies an unusually large 949 sq ft footprint for its type, recently refurbished throughout to a modern standard and ready to move into. A private ground-floor entrance and enclosed porch lead to an airy reception room with high ceilings, a bay window and an exposed brick feature wall, giving both character and a generous living area that suits couples, sharers or first-time buyers seeking extra space.
The kitchen and shower room are stylishly finished — deep-blue cabinetry, integrated appliances and contemporary tiling — and new windows and flooring have been fitted throughout. Practical benefits include an allocated off-street parking space directly in front of the building, long lease (999 years/share of freehold) and permissive holiday-let and pet policies that add flexibility for owner-occupiers or prospective landlords.
Buyers should note a few important points: service charges are levied “as and when” rather than a fixed amount, building insurance costs are split three ways, and the area records higher crime levels and local deprivation statistics. There is limited private outdoor space. There is also conflicting heating information in the listing (electric heating mentioned alongside mains gas boiler and radiators) — purchasers should check the installed heating system and utility arrangements during due diligence.
Overall this apartment offers a rare combination of generous internal space, contemporary finish and convenient parking in a well-connected part of Bournemouth. It will particularly suit first-time buyers seeking more room than a typical starter flat, or investors after a flexible buy-to-let with holiday-let potential.
