Ophir Road, Bournemouth, Dorset, BH8

Roberts are delighted to offer for sale this first-floor character converted flat, located on the highly regarded Ophir Road. The road retains a strong residential and characterful feel and unlike many surrounding roads, a significant proportion of the detached buildings still remain as family homes rather than being subdivided into flats, contributing to the area’s desirability.

A key attraction is the opportunity to acquire a more affordable property within a street where detached houses commonly achieve values in the region of £600,000–£650,000. Opportunities to buy into such a well-regarded location at this level are relatively rare.

The Building and Communal Areas

The flat forms part of a well-maintained detached building, discreetly converted into five apartments. The conversion is sympathetic, with the building retaining the appearance of a substantial single dwelling.
Positioned on the first floor, the apartment enjoys a front and side aspect with a favourable southerly orientation.

To the front, there is a communal garden area, landscaped with mature shrubs and flowering plants, providing an attractive outdoor space for residents. Four of the five flats make use of this shared area.
Access is via a secure communal entrance leading into well-presented and carefully maintained hallways, reflecting a strong sense of resident care.

The Accommodation

The entrance hallway is L-shaped and provides access to all principal rooms, as well as a loft hatch offering additional storage.
The lounge/diner and kitchen are both south-facing, benefiting from excellent natural light. The lounge is particularly appealing, featuring a characterful bay window, high ceilings, and sufficient space for both seating and a small dining area. Neutral décor enhances the sense of light and space throughout.

The kitchen is practical and well laid out, offering space for essential appliances and adequate storage, making it well suited to single occupancy or a couple. The double bedroom accommodates a double bed and wardrobe, with a westerly-facing window. The bathroom is fitted with a white suite, including a panelled bath with electric shower and screen, and benefits from a window—an advantage over many modern flats reliant on an extractor fan only.

Additional bus routes are available along nearby Charminster Road and at Bournemouth Travel Interchange.

For buyers working within a structured budget, the property offers:
• Council Tax Band A
• Maintenance charge of approximately £960 per annum, including buildings insurance
• EPC Rating C, indicating good energy efficiency
• A long lease with approximately 154 years remaining and no ground rent
These factors contribute to the flat being more affordable than many comparable properties in the local area.
