A compact, well-presented ground-floor studio in the Point 500 development, a short walk from Castlepoint Shopping Centre and regular bus links into Bournemouth. The flat benefits from a long lease, double glazing, communal bike storage and a private secure entrance. At about 339 sq ft the layout is efficient, with fitted furniture and good built-in storage for its size.
Practical running costs are competitive: council tax is very cheap and the property is electrically heated with no mains gas. Constructed between 2007–2011, the building is modern and low-maintenance, with a contemporary exterior and balcony communal areas. There is no flood risk recorded for the location.
Notable drawbacks are the very-high local crime rate and the studio’s small overall size — this will suit a single buyer, commuter or investor rather than a couple wanting separate bedrooms. Heating is by electric room heaters (no central gas), and there is a modest ground rent of £150. The property is leasehold, so buyers should review the lease length and service charges before committing.
