A top-floor one-bedroom apartment just a five-minute walk from Bournemouth beach and a short stroll to the town centre and mainline station. The open-plan lounge and kitchen create a light, usable living space over 20ft, while a double bedroom and bathroom complete the layout — suited to first-time buyers or buy-to-let investors seeking a central, seaside location. Offered chain free and with a long lease, it’s easy to move in or let quickly.
Practical features include double glazing, communal garden and off-street residence parking on a first-come, first-served basis. The property is in a Tudor Revival block built in the 1930s–40s and benefits from built-in storage in the living room. A virtual tour is available for an initial inspection.
Important points to note: records mention electric storage heaters as the main heating, yet marketing also references gas central heating; the buyer should confirm the current heating system. The neighbourhood scores high for crime and is in a very deprived area, which may affect long-term resale and rental profiles. Photos and the virtual tour may not reflect the current condition, so an in-person inspection is recommended.
For those who prioritise location over decorative finish, this apartment offers immediate access to urban and seaside amenities with clear potential to modernise the interior. Investors should factor in local area dynamics; first-time buyers will find straightforward access to transport, shops and schools.
