Michelgrove Road, Bournemouth, BH5 1JH

What’s On Offer?
Direct sea views, energising sunrises and romantic sunsets create an enviable backdrop to daily life in this penthouse apartment.  From both inside and out on the balcony, the views are spectacular, connecting you to the water from both the main living area, and the playroom/bedroom. Just meters from the beach and Boscombe Pier, you’ll feel as if you can skim stones from your own property.
This top floor apartment instantly makes you the default entertainers, thanks to a balcony with enough space to host friends for evening drinks, a spot of lunch or a coffee with a view!

You’re buying an idyllic lifestyle here- ‘Alexa, blinds up’…roll out of bed. Sunrise coffee to the sound of lapping waves, breakfast overlooking the water. Let’s explore the rest of this home...


Refinement.
Finished to a high specification throughout and amplified by a list of premium fixtures and fittings, this home really is ready to go. From the modern, minimal kitchen with its built-in appliances and Quartz worktops, to the characterful bathroom suites and high ceilings throughout, you’ll feel right at home with only personal cosmetic changes needed in time. The main living space has a fresh, beachy feeling whilst remaining cosy in the evenings thanks to underfloor heating and a brilliant Rais tunnel gas fire that serves both reception rooms! A breakfast bar with its own picture window provides a different breakfast outlook (as if you’d ever get bored with the sea view!) and there’s space for a large corner sofa and coffee table. Before children came along, the adjacent reception room (currently a play room) served as a sea-view bedroom thanks to an integral king size wall bed, neat hidden amongst the wardrobes. We particularly love the bespoke gable windows in this room, which are mirrored in the master bedroom…check out the cutest mini gable window in the family shower room! Double glazed windows throughout offer great energy performance and keep things quiet inside once closed. Keeping things fresh here is a breeze (sorry we had to!) with great airflow right through the apartment, so you can return to a cool home after a day in the sand, or on the water.


Sandy Toes In Minutes.
You’ll be yards from Boscombe Pier and what feels like your own personal sandy beach. Morning runs, swims, yoga or dog walks, all possible before the world has stirred. This penthouse apartment is about as close to our award-winning beaches as you need to be…and they stretch for miles! Some will look at this as an opportunity for a holiday home, a lock up and leave. Others will make this their very fancy full time home and we can see why!
This part of the coast is still the place to be with plenty of pubs, restaurants, and coffee spots across the coast. You’ll be moments from Southbourne, Westbourne, Christchurch and even Sandbanks- booming community hubs that offer a seaside lifestyle that many can only dream of. Each spot is a few minutes away by foot, car or the reliable public transport network, plus you’ll rail services from Bournemouth and Christchurch offer speedy access to London.


Layout.
Entering the apartment, you’ll notice that there’s no long, narrow walkway wasting space, but rather a central bright hallway that sprawls into all main rooms. Sea glimpses greet you from the moment you step inside. This means room to move about during the day and space for often forgotten but important items like shoe racks and storage. Two bedrooms are found at the front of the home, remains cool and airy for bedtime. Both offer en suite, one with a shower and the other boasting bath and shower. The family shower room, used during the day and by guests, is off the entranceway.
Allocated parking for your car means no more searching for an illusive seaside space, and there’s even a wall charger pre-installed for those with an EV. 

Peace Of Mind.
Having a Share of the Freehold, owners have much more control over how the building is managed, a tighter handle on finances and the ability to run a proactive approach to maintenance. It’s no wonder the building is in such good condition, with the owners communicating effectively when necessary. *The building has recently undergone several routine maintenance works (all paid for and complete) and the sellers expect the service charge to drop back down slightly in the near future.
