Description

Roberts are delighted to offer for sale this ground-floor, purpose-built modern apartment located in Heathcote Road, Boscombe, Bournemouth. Constructed in 2006, this thoughtfully designed development complements the surrounding roads, which are characterised by attractive early twentieth-century period properties, allowing it to blend seamlessly with the local architectural style.

Allocated parking is positioned to the side of the building, with this apartment benefiting from one dedicated space, conveniently visible from the property.

________________________________________
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. For commuters, Pokesdown railway station lies just over half a mile to the east, while Bournemouth railway station is under a mile and a half to the west, both offering good connectivity by foot or public transport.

________________________________________
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.

________________________________________
Well Presented Accommodation

The apartment has recently been refreshed throughout, including full internal redecoration, newly fitted carpets, and replacement flooring in both the kitchen and bathroom. This ensures a clean, neutral finish, ready for immediate occupation while still offering scope for personalisation.

________________________________________
Costs & Energy Efficiency

For buyers working within a structured budget, the property offers:
* Council Tax Band B
* Maintenance charge: £1,750 per annum
* EPC Rating C (good energy efficiency and future rental compliance reassurance)
* Gas central heating via a combination boiler (replaced in 2023 and serviced annually)

These factors contribute to the property being a cost-effective option compared to similar purpose-built flats in the local area.
The flat represents an excellent opportunity for first-time buyers or buy-to-let investors, combining modern construction, generous living space, and strong affordability credentials in a desirable coastal location.
