Garden Flat, Wallisdown Road, Bournemouth, Dorset, BH11

Roberts are pleased to offer for sale this spacious ground floor garden flat which boasts approximately 85 square metres / 915 square feet of accommodation. Presented in ex-rental condition internally, the property offers an excellent blank canvas opportunity for the next owner to personalise and adapt to their own requirements.

The property is situated on Wallisdown Road in the BH11 area of Bournemouth, close to the border with Poole. Positioned just west of Bournemouth University, the property has successfully operated as student accommodation for many years and is now ready to return to family occupation. The home is within easy reach of local schools and benefits from nearby bus routes connecting both Bournemouth and Poole town centres.

Offering Potential

As a former rental property, the flat has been maintained in accordance with letting regulations and has benefited from annual gas safety inspections together with five-year electrical certification checks. These regular compliance measures may provide reassurance for prospective purchasers.

The neutral presentation also avoids highly personalised decorative choices, giving buyers the opportunity to create their own style without paying a premium for cosmetic alterations.

The property benefits from UPVC double glazing and gas central heating, contributing to an EPC Rating of D.

The Accommodation

Offering a versatile layout, the property is currently arranged as a four-bedroom, one reception room home, although family occupiers may prefer to configure the accommodation as a three-bedroom, two reception room layout.

The private entrance opens directly into a dual-aspect dining room, enhanced by front-facing patio doors. Parquet flooring within the dining area continues into the generous double-width hallway, creating continuity throughout the principal accommodation.

To the rear of the property is a dual-aspect lounge, currently utilised as a fourth bedroom. This room also features parquet flooring together with a casement door leading directly onto the rear garden, helping maintain a seamless connection between indoor and outdoor spaces.

The kitchen is also positioned to the rear and benefits from a dual-aspect arrangement. Modern and well presented, it offers a good range of cupboard storage together with direct access to the garden via an additional external door.

All three principal bedrooms are double-sized. Bedroom one enjoys a front aspect and benefits from a character bay window. Bedroom two is a slightly smaller double room and includes a neatly arranged en-suite shower room. Bedroom three, although the smallest of the three, still comfortably accommodates a double bed and additional furniture. The accommodation is served by a modern bathroom fitted with a white suite comprising bath with thermostatic shower, pedestal wash hand basin and low-level WC. Two storage cupboards are accessed from the hallway.

Outside Areas

A particularly attractive feature of the property is the generous parking provision.
The unusually deep front garden has been laid to shingle and paving, with designated parking areas for both the ground and first floor flats. The ground floor flat enjoys the larger allocation, capable of accommodating approximately three to four vehicles.

A side driveway leads to an additional hardstanding area suitable for one further vehicle and provides access to a detached garage conveyed with the property. The garage benefits from an up-and-over door and sits beneath a pitched tiled roof.

The rear garden is of impressive depth at approximately 70ft. The first floor neighbour's garden is enclosed by fenced boundaries and positioned behind the garage, while the ground floor flat retains the remaining garden area, which is laid primarily to lawn with a section of shingle.

At the rear of the plot is a covered timber-built store, while established trees, shrubs and bushes provide an excellent degree of screening and privacy throughout the garden.

Tenure & Charges

The property is leasehold with the remainder of a 999-year lease from 2004 (currently 977-years remaining). Ground rent is a mere £50 per annum, while maintenance costs are split 50/50 on an as-and-when basis.

Additional affordability credentials include:
* Council Tax Band B
* Ground rent only £50 pa
* Shared maintenance arrangement only as required
* EPC D-Rated

Given the generous internal size and extensive outside space, the property compares favourably with significantly more expensive bungalow accommodation.
