Ophir Road, Bournemouth, Dorset, BH8

Roberts are delighted to offer for sale this first-floor character converted flat, located on the highly regarded Ophir Road. The road retains a characterful feel and unlike many surrounding roads, a significant proportion of the detached buildings still remain as family homes rather than being subdivided into flats, contributing to the area's desirability.

A key attraction is the opportunity to acquire a more affordable property within a street where detached houses commonly achieve values in the region of £600,000-£650,000. Opportunities to buy into such a well-regarded location at this level are relatively rare.

The Building and Communal Areas

The flat forms part of a well-maintained detached building converted into five flats. The conversion is sympathetic, with the building retaining the appearance of a substantial house. Positioned on the first floor, the flat enjoys a favourable southerly aspect.

To the front, there is a communal garden area, landscaped with mature shrubs and flowering plants, providing an attractive outdoor space for residents. Four of the five flats make use of this shared garden.

Access is via a secure communal entrance leading into a well-presented and carefully maintained hallway and landing, reflecting a strong sense of resident care for the building.

The Accommodation

The entrance hallway is L-shaped and provides access to all principal rooms, as well as a loft hatch offering additional storage in the attic.

The lounge/diner and kitchen are both south-facing giving excellent natural light. The lounge is particularly appealing, featuring a character bay window, high ceilings, and sufficient space for both seating and a small dining set. Neutral décor enhances the sense of light and space throughout.

The kitchen is practical, offering space for essential appliances and adequate storage, making it well suited to single occupancy or for a couple. The double bedroom accommodates a double bed and wardrobe, with a westerly-facing window. The bathroom is fitted with a white suite, including a panelled bath with electric shower and screen, and benefits from a window-an advantage over many modern flats reliant on an extractor fan only.

Positive Factors to Consider

Ophir Road enjoys a quiet, set-back position while remaining highly convenient for local amenities and transport links. Bournemouth railway station is approximately a 5-7 minute walk away, providing direct services to London and beyond. Additional bus routes are available along nearby Charminster Road and at Bournemouth Travel Interchange.

For buyers working within a structured budget, the property offers:

* Council Tax Band A
* Maintenance charge of approximately £960 per annum, including buildings insurance
* EPC Rating C, indicating good energy efficiency
* A long lease with approximately 154 years remaining and no ground rent

These factors contribute to the flat being more affordable than many comparable properties in the local area.
