About
Roberts are delighted to offer FOR SALE this beautifully refurbished and particularly spacious one-bedroom ground floor flat, forming part of an impressive Victorian residence.
The property is situated on the edge of Charminster in Bournemouth being near to local amenities and transport links to Bournemouth town centre.
Combining the generous proportions and architectural character of a period property with the comfort of a newly refurbished home, the flat would make an excellent first time purchase or stylish home for a downsizer.
The attractive red-brick building displays a wealth of period detail, including imposing bay elevations, decorative brickwork and an impressive entrance, where a traditional geometric tiled floor provides an immediate reminder of the property's Victorian origins.
Internally, the apartment benefits from high ceilings, generous room dimensions and excellent natural light.
A particular highlight is the superb 5.40m x 5.50m lounge, where an impressive full-height canted bay window floods the room with light and enhances the wonderful sense of space.
The 5.00m x 3.00m double bedroom is equally well proportioned and benefits from another substantial bay window, with ample room for bedroom furniture and storage.
A separate newly fitted kitchen provides contemporary units, work surfaces, appliances and excellent storage, while the newly fitted shower room has been finished in a clean, modern style.
Useful understairs storage provides an additional practical benefit.
The extensive refurbishment programme includes a new boiler and radiators, new UPVC double-glazed windows and new consumer unit, newly fitted kitchen and appliances, new shower room, carpets and wood-effect premium vinyl flooring.
The result is an attractive newly renovated home combining Victorian character with modern comfort.
Outside, the property benefits from a generous gravelled frontage and off-road parking, together with the convenience of both a formal access door and a private entrance via pathway from the allocated parking space.
Local shops, convenience stores and everyday amenities are within just a few hundred yards.
The flat is offered with a share of the freehold, 999-year lease with no ground rent payable and a service charge of approximately £100 per calendar month (£1,200pa).
With its combination of Victorian character, impressive bay windows, high ceilings, generous accommodation, parking and comprehensive refurbishment, early viewing is strongly recommended.
