Location

The property is superbly situated just half a mile from Boscombe Pier, the promenade, and Boscombe Beach, which proudly holds Blue Flag status.

Set just two blocks back from Boscombe's main shopping area, the apartment enjoys easy access to a wide range of shops, cafés, restaurants, and everyday amenities. A twice-weekly market adds to the local charm, while The Royal Arcade offers a selection of antique and art retailers. A local library is also conveniently located on Hawkwood Road.

Regular bus services are within a short walk, providing easy access to Bournemouth town centre and surrounding areas.

Hallway & Living Accommodation

A standout feature of the apartment is the generous lounge reception room, which leads via an archway into a spacious kitchen/dining area. With a combined length of approximately 25ft, this creates a versatile and open living environment with ample room for lounge furniture, dining arrangements, and kitchen use.

The kitchen is well equipped with an integrated electric oven and gas hob, space for a fridge freezer, and plumbing for a washing machine. Storage is particularly impressive, with cupboards spanning two walls-offering more capacity than typically found in similar properties. There is also sufficient space for a dining table within the kitchen, although the lounge area is equally suitable for dining if preferred.

Hallway, Bedrooms & Bathroom

Accessed via a communal entrance, the apartment shares an inner lobby with just one other flat, helping to minimise noise and enhance privacy. The front door opens into a long entrance hallway, providing access to all principal rooms. The property comprises two well-proportioned double bedrooms, both capable of accommodating double beds along with additional furniture.

The bathroom is of a good size and features a modern white suite, complemented by neutral wall tiling and newly fitted flooring.
