Situated on Upper Terrace Road, this sizeable one-bedroom maisonette offers a bright, well-presented home or rental in the heart of Bournemouth. The flat spans an impressive advertised 70 sqm, with a large lounge/diner, a double bedroom with fitted wardrobes, and a private sunny balcony. Period features such as high ceilings and a feature fireplace combine with modern finishes to create comfortable living space.
Practical details favour buyers seeking low upfront maintenance: a share of the freehold is included, the service charge is moderate at £670, and council tax is very cheap. The property is pet-friendly and close to the town centre, beaches and plentiful local amenities, making it attractive to first-time buyers or buy-to-let investors aiming for central-city tenants.
Buyers should note material practicalities plainly: heating is by electric room heaters, walls are cavity-built with assumed no insulation, and the double glazing predates 2002. The area records very high crime levels and wider neighbourhood indicators show local deprivation—factors to weigh for owner-occupiers or lettings. The flat is leasehold (share of freehold) so additional lease-related fees or packs may apply.
