The location offers excellent access to a wide range of local shops, cafés, restaurants and amenities, with Bournemouth town centre, its beautiful beaches and transport connections also within easy reach.

An ideal first home, especially for those looking for something a little different, the apartment offers approximately 602 sq ft (56 sq m) of accommodation, combining the charm of a period-style building with the comforts of a modern kitchen and bathroom. Further appeal comes from its share of freehold, exceptionally long remaining lease and the rare benefit of its own private entrance.

The flat is accessed either via communal entrance into the property’s entrance hallway with useful walk-in storage. Alternatively a private gate leads via pathway and garden into the property’s private entrance doorway. A particular highlight is the high ceilinged lounge / diner reception with an attractive front-facing bay window, which allows plenty of natural light given its size and southerly aspect.

Like the reception room, it too benefits from a south facing window giving good natural light to the room. The spacious double bedroom is another interesting feature, comfortably accommodating bedroom furniture thanks to a recessed dressing area with plenty of space for wardrobes.
The private entrance UPVC double-glazed door opens directly onto the flats private courtyard garden from the bedroom however this does not feel compromising given the size of the room. A modern bathroom, fitted with a shower bath and contemporary white suite, and contrasting tiles completes the accommodation.

The enclosed, westerly-facing courtyard garden provides a low-maintenance area of outside space being laid to stone chippings and wood decking. A garage is conveyed to the flat and is of ‘Marley’ construction, providing useful parking or storage options. A door potentially could be fitted leading into the structure from the garden area to make better use of the structure. In addition to a garage, one allocated parking space is conveyed to front of the building which can easily be seen from the windows of the flat.

This is a home that offers considerably more than you might expect from a one-bedroom flat. An excellent opportunity for a first-time buyer or a down-sizer looking to tick as many boxes as possible.
