A compact top-floor studio offering a practical seaside foothold less than a mile from Boscombe beach. The dual-aspect main room has built-in storage and enough space for living and sleeping; a separate kitchen and a good entrance hall increase usability for everyday life. An allocated undercover parking space and secure entry are rare conveniences for the price band and location.
This is a clear value buy for a first-time purchaser or an investor seeking an affordable, easy-to-manage unit close to transport links, shops and local amenities. The long lease (151 years remaining) and low council tax band help running costs, though the service charge at about £1,700 per year should be factored into affordability calculations.
Practical drawbacks are material and stated plainly: the building dates from the 1930s–40s with timber-frame walls assumed to have no insulation, the local area records high crime and very high deprivation indices, and holiday lets and pets are not permitted. The apartment is small (341 sq ft) and some updating would improve comfort and long-term appeal. EPC Band D and mains gas heating are existing positives, but consider energy-improvement costs if insulation is upgraded.
