Richmond Gate Richmond Hill Drive, Bournemouth

Whites Estates are delighted to offer this Beautifully Presented Two-Bedroom Apartment with two private balconies, far-reaching views and beautifully presented interiors, this appealing two-bedroom apartment brings together generous glazing, practical storage and a sociable open-plan layout.

The building makes a welcoming first impression, with a distinctive communal entrance featuring glass-block walls, tiled flooring and recessed lighting. Carpeted communal corridors and a passenger lift complete the approach to the apartment.

Inside, the entrance hallway introduces the home’s understated finish, with neutral decoration, pale flooring and timber internal doors. Built-in cupboards provide useful storage, helping keep the living accommodation uncluttered.

The heart of the apartment is its bright open-plan kitchen, dining and living room. Large windows and glazed balcony doors draw in natural light, while pale wood-effect flooring creates a consistent finish throughout the space. The layout accommodates a comfortable lounge area alongside a dining setting, making it equally suited to quiet evenings and entertaining friends.

The kitchen is fitted with an extensive range of white wall and base units, complemented by contrasting worktops, metallic handles and a stainless-steel splashback behind the gas hob. A matching extractor hood, integrated oven and microwave complete the cooking area, while a dishwasher and washing machine add everyday convenience. A glass-block feature introduces additional character and light.

Two balconies extend the living experience outdoors. With covered overhead areas and glass-panel balustrades, they provide space for seating and an elevated outlook across the surrounding neighbourhood towards mature trees. One is currently arranged with artificial grass and relaxed outdoor seating, illustrating its potential as an inviting spot for morning coffee or an evening drink.

Both bedrooms are doubles, finished in a light, neutral palette and benefiting from tall windows. Fitted wardrobes provide valuable storage, while the current arrangement also demonstrates space for a desk or dressing area—useful for buyers wanting somewhere to work from home.

The principal bedroom benefits from an en-suite shower room with an enclosed shower cubicle, washbasin and WC. A window provides natural light, and a chrome towel rail completes the room.

The separate bathroom features a white suite comprising a bath with a shower over and glass screen, washbasin and WC. Pale wall tiling, a mirrored cabinet, recessed lighting and a chrome towel rail create a smart, coordinated finish.

With two double bedrooms, two bathrooms and two balconies, this apartment offers a particularly appealing balance of indoor and outdoor space. Its bright presentation, practical layout and elevated views make viewing highly recommended.
