Description
Roberts are delighted to offer for sale this modern ground floor purpose-built apartment, located on St Albans Road in the sought-after Queens Park area of Bournemouth.
Constructed in 2004, this well-designed development comprises just six three-bedroom apartments, with two properties on each floor. The building has been thoughtfully styled to complement the surrounding character properties, featuring bay windows and a traditional red brick façade.
To the rear, the property benefits from an allocated parking space, along with additional visitor parking.
________________________________________
Location
The apartment is ideally positioned on the edge of Queens Park, offering convenient access to local amenities in Lower Charminster, as well as regular bus routes to Bournemouth town centre and Castlepoint Shopping Centre. There are also excellent opportunities for outdoor recreation nearby, including Queens Park and Winton Recreation Ground, both within walking distance and offering extensive green spaces, sports facilities, and leisure routes.
The property also benefits from strong transport connections via both bus or car with easy access to the A338 for routes out of Bournemouth and towards Ferndown and to the west.

Hallway & Living Accommodation
The front door opens into a spacious entrance hallway, with an initial open area and access to a useful storage cupboard. The hallway leads through to all principal rooms.
A standout feature of the apartment is the generous lounge/diner, measuring approximately 18ft 2" by 11ft 4", with a westerly-facing bay window providing excellent natural light. The room comfortably accommodates both living and dining furniture.
The kitchen is modern and well-equipped, featuring recessed lighting and a full range of integrated appliances, including an electric oven with gas hob, fridge freezer, washing machine, and dishwasher. Storage is plentiful, with cupboards spanning two walls. A fitted breakfast bar provides an additional dining option, although the main reception room is large enough for formal dining if preferred.
________________________________________
Bedrooms & Bathroom
Unusually for a property of this era, the apartment offers three genuine double bedrooms, each with fitted wardrobe storage. Bedroom two is positioned at the front, while bedrooms one and three overlook the rear.
Bedroom one benefits from an en-suite shower room, comprising a shower cubicle with thermostatic shower, wash basin, and low-level WC.
The main bathroom serves the remaining bedrooms and is fitted with a white suite including a bath with overhead shower, pedestal wash basin, and WC. Both the bathroom and en-suite are equipped with fitted mirrors, lighting, and shaver points.
________________________________________
Well Presented Accommodation
The property has recently undergone a refresh, including full internal redecoration, new fitted carpets, and updated flooring in the kitchen and bathrooms. These improvements allow a buyer to move straight in while still offering the flexibility to personalise the space over time.

* Council Tax Band C
* Combined maintenance charge and buildings insurance of approximately £1,340 per annum (self-managed)
