Ground Floor Studio Apartment – Boscombe, Bournemouth

We are delighted to present this charming ground floor studio apartment, located in the highly sought-after Boscombe area of Bournemouth.

This studio is one of only three properties in the entire block of 15 to benefit from a side window, allowing an abundance of natural light throughout the living space — a rare and valuable feature.

Situated just 1.8km from the golden sands of Boscombe Beach, this property is perfectly suited to coastal living or as a proven high-yield investment.
