1 bed 1 bath Flat
Private entrance and first-floor position
A well-presented first-floor one-bedroom flat in a popular Bournemouth neighbourhood, ready for an owner-occupier or investor. The flat offers a modern fitted kitchen, a high-spec luxury bathroom and useful built-in storage cupboards, arranged over an efficient 615 sq ft layout. The property benefits from a private entrance, a ground-floor garage and access to a large, well-kept communal garden—an uncommon amenity for flats in the area.
Practical running costs are attractive: council tax band A ('very cheap') and a below-average estimated service charge of £692.50 for 2025/26. Broadband speeds are fast and mobile signal is excellent, suiting home workers. The area is very affluent with low crime rates and several highly rated schools close by, including two outstanding secondaries—appealing to buyers prioritising education.
Material facts to note: the flat is leasehold with approximately 92 years remaining (125-year term from 1992). Ground rent is nominal at £10 per annum. The lease length may affect mortgage or resale options for some buyers; purchasers should check lender criteria and consider lease-extension costs if relevant.
Overall this home suits a first-time buyer or investor seeking a low-maintenance flat in a well-connected, desirable part of Bournemouth. The combination of ready-to-live-in condition, communal garden and nearby amenities offers immediate comfort and rental or resale potential, while the lease length is the main point for due diligence.
