GF Garden Flat, Fortescue Road, Bournemouth, Dorset, BH3

Roberts are pleased to offer for sale this ground floor converted flat, located on Fortescue Road in Bournemouth (BH3). The surrounding area is characterised by attractive period-style properties, originally built in the 1920s, known for their high ceilings and bay windows that maximise natural light and create a strong sense of space.

The building was extended and converted in the 1980s/90s and now comprises just two flats. This particular apartment occupies the ground floor and benefits from its own private rear garden.

Fortescue Road is conveniently positioned just a short distance from the amenities and transport links of Charminster Road, and approximately a 15–20 minute walk from Bournemouth railway station, providing direct services to London. The property is also well placed for access to the A338. For outdoor space, both Meyrick Park and Winton Recreation Ground are within easy reach.

Dual Entrance and Outside Space

A notable feature of the property is the dual access to the garden and private entrance, available from both the front (Fortescue Road) and rear (Grafton Road). The main entrance is via a recessed and secure gate on Fortescue Road, while a secondary gate at the rear provides additional convenience. Both roads offer unrestricted on-street parking, making this particularly suitable for households with multiple vehicles. Some neighbouring properties have adapted their gardens to create off-road parking, subject to the necessary permissions.

From the front entrance, a side garden with a south-westerly aspect leads towards the rear. This patio area includes space for a shed, external power points, and an outdoor tap. It also provides right of way access for the upstairs flat to reach their garage.

Beyond this is a private rear garden, solely for the use of the ground floor flat. This space enjoys a westerly aspect and is well presented, featuring a combination of patio, decking, and low-maintenance artificial lawn.
