Description

This two-bedroom first-floor flat presents a noteworthy opportunity for renovation or investment, located in the desirable area of Boscombe, BH5. Just a short stroll from Boscombe Pier and the local beach, this property benefits from its proximity to both the vibrant high street and essential transport links. Accessed via a secure intercom system, the flat is positioned on the first floor with a hallway leading to all areas. The open-plan lounge and kitchen at the front offers natural light through a UPVC double-glazed window. The kitchen is equipped with a selection of wall and base units, an integrated oven and hob, as well as space for additional appliances like a washing machine. Both bedrooms include practical living space; one larger double room and a single room that could serve as a guest room or home office. The bathroom features part-tiled walls, a bath with shower over it, along with essential fixtures such as a wash hand basin and WC. Though the property requires modernisation, this presents an exciting chance for buyers to customize according to their tastes or potentially improve its rental yield for investors. An allocated off-road parking space adds further value in this sought-after location. Additional features include UPVC double glazing and gas central heating. The flat is offered with no forward chain, allowing for quicker transactions. With an approximate remaining lease of 89 years, service charges around £1,750 annually, and ground rent set at £250 per year, this property stands out as an attractive option for first-time buyers or investors looking to capitalize on its potential in an area experiencing ongoing interest and development. Its convenient access to local amenities and transport options makes it particularly appealing for future tenants or residents.
