1 BEDROOM RETIREMENT APARTMENT IN PRIME LOCATION OFFERING NO FORWARD CHAIN
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 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 white 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.
This property offers comfort, convenience, tranquillity and community for those aged 60 and over (or 55+ for one partner in a couple). Furniture within the apartment can be offered by arrangement with the Vendor (Please ask agent for more details).

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.
