Wellington Road, Bournemouth, Dorset, BH8

Roberts are delighted to offer for sale this second (top) floor purpose-built apartment, located within the well-regarded Watergardens development on Wellington Road in Bournemouth. This attractive low-rise development, dating from the 1970s, is set within well-maintained communal grounds, bordered by mature trees that provide a pleasant, leafy outlook and a sense of seclusion from the road.

The location is particularly convenient for commuters, with Bournemouth railway station being a short walk away, offering direct rail links to London. Bournemouth town centre and Lansdown are also within walking distance, while nearby Charminster Road provides a range of local amenities and regular bus routes to Castlepoint Shopping Centre and surrounding areas.

Accommodation

Extending to approximately 72 square metres (775 square feet), the apartment offers generous living space, enhanced by its south-facing aspect which provides excellent natural light throughout.

A unique feature of this flat is the benefit of an oversized external storage area, accessed from the communal hallway adjacent to the front door-something not typically found in neighbouring properties.

The bright entrance hallway includes well-designed fitted storage and benefits from natural light via openable skylight windows, a feature also shared by the cloakroom and bathroom.
The dual-aspect lounge/diner is a standout space, featuring sliding patio doors opening onto a private south-facing balcony, along with an additional rear window that enhances light and ventilation.

The separate kitchen is positioned adjacent to the living area and is fitted with an integrated electric oven and gas hob, along with space for a fridge/freezer and plumbing for a washing machine. A range of base and wall-mounted units provides ample storage.
The apartment comprises three bedrooms, including two doubles and a single room. Tilt-and-turn windows are fitted throughout, offering excellent ventilation and ease of use, particularly during warmer months.

Parking and Grounds

A notable feature of the development is its in-and-out driveway system, leading to a secure, gated underground parking area. The apartment benefits from one allocated space, with bays that are wider than average, allowing for easier access and additional storage flexibility.
From the parking area, both lift and stair access lead directly to the upper floors including second floor where this flat is located.
The communal grounds extend to both the front and rear of the building and are attractively landscaped. Additional unallocated visitor parking spaces are also available.
