Summary - Boscombe BH5 1HF
2 bed 1 bath Flat
Short walk to beach, shops and pier — practical starter home or rental.
Two double bedrooms in a first-floor Victorian-style apartment
A compact two-bedroom first-floor apartment in a Victorian-style building, positioned moments from Boscombe High Street and the sandy beach. The flat benefits from an allocated off-street parking space, gas central heating, UPVC double glazing and an open-plan living/kitchen that maximises the 454 sq ft footprint.
The property sits on a long lease (112 years remaining from 2012) and comes with established communal funds: a service charge of approximately £1,350 and a ground rent of £200 per year. Neutral décor and functional fixtures mean it is ready to occupy, making it suitable for a first home or buy-to-let starter investment.
Buyers should note the compact overall size — living space is limited — and the location scores high for local crime and very high area deprivation. These factors will influence insurance, letting demand and long-term resale. Council tax band is very low, which reduces running costs, and broadband and mobile signal are strong.
For a buyer seeking coastal access and convenience, this flat offers immediate lifestyle benefits and predictable running costs. For investors, the long lease and allocated parking are positives, but the local socio-economic profile and crime figures should be considered when assessing yield and tenant demand.
