Summary - 44 Osbourne Lodge, 4 Poole Road BH2 5QA
1 bed 1 bath Retirement Property
Chain-free one-bedroom flat near town and seafront, ideal for downsizers.
South-westerly facing Juliet balcony, bright reception room
This third-floor, one-bedroom retirement apartment at Osbourne Lodge offers low-maintenance living close to Bournemouth town centre and the seafront. The reception room opens to a south-westerly Juliet balcony, providing light and a pleasant outlook across the owners’ car park and communal landscaping. The flat is presented in excellent decorative order and benefits from double glazing.
The development is managed with a lodge manager on site five days a week and a 24-hour Careline for security. Owners enjoy a communal lounge with regular social events, an on-site laundry, and access to a Guest Suite for visitors — plus reciprocal use of guest suites at other Churchill Living developments.
Practical points to note: the property is leasehold (approximately 111 years remaining) with an annual service charge of £2,411.57 and a ground rent of £590.48, the latter due for review in November 2025. Heating is electric via room heaters rather than a central system, and the apartment is an average size for a one-bedroom retirement flat. Crime levels in the immediate area are above average, which may be an important consideration for some buyers.
Offered chain free, this apartment suits a buyer seeking a secure, sociable retirement base with easy access to transport links, shops and the beach, but who is comfortable with leasehold costs and electric heating.
