Set on the second floor of Colman Court, this two-bedroom apartment offers straightforward coastal living within a short walk of Bournemouth’s Blue Flag beaches. The long lease (c.977 years) and share of freehold give long-term security, while an allocated underground garage adds practical convenience in a busy seaside town.
The apartment has a separate modern kitchen, a living/dining room with good natural light, a main bathroom plus a separate shower room—useful for families or sharers. Room sizes are average for the building’s mid-century layout; the property suits buyers who value location and rental potential over large internal footprints.
There are material features to note: the building dates from the 1950s and cavity walls are assumed uninsulated, double glazing was installed before 2002, and heating is via a community mains-gas scheme — these factors can affect running costs and comfort. The service charge is £1,312.44 per quarter and the surrounding area records higher crime levels, which should be factored into ownership or letting decisions.
This flat will appeal to first-time buyers seeking a coastal base with commuter links and to landlords targeting strong holiday or long-term rental demand close to the beach and Bournemouth station. Viewing is recommended to assess room proportions and running-costs relative to your needs.
