Summary - 65 FLAT 2 PORTCHESTER ROAD BOURNEMOUTH BH8 8JX
1 bed 1 bath Apartment
One-bedroom flat with parking and a large private garden close to town.
Private entrance and ground-floor access
A ground-floor one-bedroom flat with a rare private rear garden and its own entrance, ideal for a first-time buyer seeking outside space without house prices. The layout includes a modern, compact kitchen, a lounge/diner that leads through to a conservatory, and a double bedroom with fitted wardrobes. Off-street parking for multiple cars and a share of freehold with a 999-year lease keep running costs predictable.
The property sits close to Bournemouth town centre, the train station and local amenities, and benefits from fast broadband and excellent mobile signal. Service charges are modest at around £900 per year and there is no ground rent. The guide price reflects good entry-level value for BH8 with private outside space — a scarce feature for flats in the area.
Be realistic about likely drawbacks: the flat is average-sized at about 486 sq ft, with a compact kitchen and standard to low ceiling heights. The rear garden and outbuilding are overgrown and will need landscaping or renovation to unlock full potential. The local area is classified as a cosmopolitan student neighbourhood within a wider migrant families area and the immediate neighbourhood has higher-than-average deprivation; expect some street-level noise and a busy local scene.
Overall this is a practical, chain-free starter home with tangible upside if you tidy the garden and modernise cosmetic elements. It suits buyers prioritising outside space, parking and a long lease, who are comfortable with an urban, lively location and some DIY to maximise the property’s value.
