Full Details

Roberts are delighted to offer for sale this fifth-floor purpose-built apartment, located in Albany on Manor Road, Bournemouth. This iconic East Cliff development benefits from direct private gated access to the cliff top, where a nearby zig-zag pathway leads down to the beach and promenade, connecting to the renowned seven miles of sandy coastline below. This stretch of shoreline, set between Bournemouth and Boscombe piers, offers a quieter and more relaxed atmosphere, particularly during the summer months.

Albany is a well-established landmark development dating from the 1960s, highly regarded for its prime cliff-top position. Residents benefit from a range of facilities, including a 24-hour concierge service, monitored CCTV, communal laundry and luggage rooms, a residents’ library, cycle storage, and car washing facilities within the underground car park. Additional conveniences include daily refuse collection from each apartment and a communal heating and hot water system included within the maintenance charge.

The property is also well connected, with easy access to Bournemouth railway station (via the nearby Travel Interchange), offering direct services to London Waterloo, as well as convenient road links via the A338.

The Accommodation

Positioned on the fifth floor, the apartment offers an ideal balance for those seeking elevated views without being on too high a floor. The outlook is exceptional, with panoramic sea views stretching from the Isle of Wight in the east across to the Purbecks and Old Harry Rocks in the west. The open balcony arrangement enhances this experience, allowing uninterrupted enjoyment of the coastal scenery.

Extending to approximately 57 square metres (613.5 square feet), the apartment is generously proportioned for a one-bedroom property. The double bedroom also benefits from sea views and includes fitted storage along with ample space for additional furnishings. An en-suite shower room is accessed from the bedroom and features a double shower with thermostatic controls, fully tiled walls, wash basin, WC, and heated towel rail. A separate cloakroom is conveniently located off the hallway, while the entrance hallway also includes two useful storage cupboards.

The kitchen is well designed and finished to a good standard, offering both practicality and appeal. Positioned to enjoy sea views from the window, it includes an integrated electric oven with induction hob, space and plumbing for a washing machine, and space for a tall fridge freezer. A comprehensive range of wall and base units provides ample storage.

The lounge/diner is accessed via double doors from the hallway and offers a spacious and bright living area. A large south-facing window frames the sea view and allows for excellent natural light. Unlike some neighbouring apartments, the balcony has not been enclosed, preserving the full impact of the open coastal outlook.
