Astley House, Richmond Park Road, Bournemouth, Dorset, BH8

Roberts are pleased to offer for sale this ground floor character flat, set within a charming detached period building. Originally constructed in the early 1900s as a substantial family home, the property was extended in the 1980s and converted into five flats.
This particular apartment is positioned to the rear of the building, enjoying a desirable southerly aspect along with a private rear garden, also south-facing.

Astley House is a distinctive property located midway along Richmond Park Road, retaining many original features that set it apart from the more modern developments that now characterise much of the area. The property is conveniently situated within easy reach of Charminster Road’s amenities and approximately a 15–20 minute walk from Bournemouth railway station, providing direct links to London. There is also excellent access to the A338 for vehicular routes out of town.
