Summary - Flat 31/A Homewest House, 35, Poole Road BH4 9DJ
1 bed 1 bath Apartment
Comfortable one-bedroom close to shops and the seafront, ideal for downsizers.
Top-floor retirement flat with lift access
A top-floor, one-bedroom retirement apartment in the heart of Westbourne, offered with no forward chain and immediate possession potential. The living room benefits from a bay window that brings in natural light and a compact layout designed for easy, low-maintenance living. Communal facilities include a residents’ lounge, laundry, communal gardens and the reassurance of an on-site house manager plus a 24-hour careline.
Practical points for buyers: the property is leasehold with 87 years remaining, and the combined running costs include a substantial service charge (approx. £3,453.84 yearly) and ground rent (£440 yearly). Heating is by electric storage heaters which may raise energy costs compared with gas systems. Parking is available on a first-come, first-served basis rather than allocated spaces.
Location is a major draw for downsizers seeking convenience and seaside access. Westbourne’s shops, cafés and restaurants are within walking distance and regular bus services connect to Bournemouth and nearby train stations. Beaches and the promenade are a short journey away, offering easy leisure options. Buyers should note the area records above-average crime statistics; consider viewing and local checks to ensure comfort with the neighbourhood.
Ideal for someone aged 60+ wanting a manageable, social retirement setting close to amenities and coast, this apartment will suit those prioritising convenience and communal support over private outdoor space or lower running costs. The property offers scope for cosmetic updating to personalise the interior.
