Nestled on the sought-after Sea Road in Boscombe, this delightful one-bedroom retirement apartment is ideally situated just steps from the Overcliff and award-winning beaches, including the iconic Boscombe Pier. The property is within easy, level walking distance of the high street, offering a variety of shops, supermarkets, and transport links. Centrally positioned, it provides convenient access to Christchurch, Hengistbury Head, Bournemouth, and Southbourne, all of which can be easily reached via nearby public transport. Constructed by the renowned McCarthy & Stone, the apartment is located on the peaceful top floor of a well-maintained four-story block which is accessible by both stairs and lift. The development offers a host of amenities, including a welcoming residents lounge, a communal laundry room, a guest suite for visitors, and the support of an on-site development manager. The property also features a 24-hour Appello emergency call system for added peace of mind. Residents benefit further from off-road parking at the rear and beautifully maintained communal gardens.

Upon entrance to the apartment, you are greeted by a sizable hallway that connects to all the available rooms, useful for storage and to hang coats and shoes.

The sitting room is bright and generously proportioned, providing ample room for a dining table, seating area, and storage furniture. A large double-glazed window allows for wonderful views and floods the room with natural light, while additional features include a TV aerial point, telephone point, wall lights, and an emergency pull cord. A storage cupboard is also conveniently located within this space.

Through double glass doors from the sitting room, the kitchen is well appointed with a U-shaped layout and fitted units above and below. Appliances include a double oven, ceramic hob with extractor above, and a stainless-steel sink, with space for a freestanding fridge and freezer. A window adds to the room's light and airy feel while providing scenic views.

The bathroom is of a good size, equipped with a walk-in shower cubicle, WC, vanity unit with a wash basin, and wall cupboard. Additional features include an extractor fan, wall heater, and an emergency button.

The bedroom is generously sized, featuring a built-in wardrobe with sliding doors, a large UPVC window with lovely views, and plenty of additional space for storage or a workspace.

Kept informed every step of the way.’ Vendor, Southbourne Branch. ‘I was very happy with all aspects of the Goadsby service, especially as I am not local to the area and dealt mainly over the phone. They were unfailingly helpful and pleasant to deal with’. Purchaser, Southbourne Branch ‘I just wanted to thank you personally for the expert negotiations. I know it wasn’t a straight forward one but I’m very grateful for the key part you played. Will certainly be recommending Goadsby’. Purchaser, Southbourne Branch.

Each reading is based on the highest predicted speed of any major broadband network for services that deliver the download speeds. The following are the different readings that we may display:

    Basic: Up to 30 Mbit/s
    Super-fast: Between 30 Mbit/s and 300 Mbit/s
    Ultra-fast: Over 300 Mbit/s

    Mobile phone signal availability and predicted strength: obtained from Ofcom on April 8, 2022

    Mobile signal predictions are provided by the four UK mobile network operators: EE, O2, Three and Vodafone. Predictions can vary significantly from the coverage you may actually experience as a result of local factors (especially terrain). Ofcom has tested the actual coverage provided in various locations around the UK to help ensure that these predictions are reasonable. The values shown against a property can be broken down as follows:

    Clear: No bars, no signal predicted
    Red: One bar, reliable signal unlikely
    Amber: Two bars, may experience problems with connectivity
    Green: Three bars, likely to have good coverage and receive a data rate to support basic web services
    Enhanced: Full bars, likely to have good coverage indoors and to receive an enhanced data rate to support multimedia services
