Summary - ALEXANDRA LODGE FLAT 12 PARSONAGE ROAD BOURNEMOUTH BH1 2HL
1 bed 1 bath Flat
Chain-free first-floor flat with private garage, close to beach — ideal for first-timers or investors..
5-minute walk to Bournemouth beach and town centre
This first-floor one-bedroom apartment sits under a five-minute walk from Bournemouth beach and the town centre, offering a convenient coastal lifestyle. The flat benefits from large rear windows, a sunny lounge with space for dining, a modern fitted kitchen/breakfast room and a private garage with power and light — useful extras rarely found so close to the seafront. Communal hallways, passenger lift access and maintained external brickwork add to low-maintenance living.
The property is leasehold (95 years remaining) with a service charge of about £2,724 per year and a £100 annual ground rent. It is sold chain-free and is already well-equipped with gas central heating and double glazing (installed before 2002). At about 569 sq ft the layout is suited to a first-time buyer, downsizer or buy-to-let investor seeking easy access to transport, shops and leisure.
Buyers should note the local area records a very high crime level, which may affect some purchasers’ comfort or rental yields. The lease length is reasonable but not long, and ongoing service charges are a material ownership cost. A physical viewing is recommended to confirm internal condition and storage beyond the large hallway cupboard described.
Overall, this apartment offers a low-maintenance, central seaside base with income potential — strong location and practical extras balanced by community safety concerns and fixed lease/service obligations.
