Full Description: WHEN CALLING TO ENQUIRE ABOUT THIS PROPERTY, PLEASE USE EXTENSION NUMBER 3003 WHEN REQUESTED.<br /><br />Could your next home give you period character, coastal living and practical ownership in one address? This two bedroom flat for sale on Irving Road, Southbourne, Bournemouth is offered at £350,000 and combines generous proportions, share of freehold ownership, driveway parking, garden space and a long 989 year lease, all in one of Southbourne’s most desirable coastal settings.<br /><br />Set within an attractive red brick period building, the home has immediate kerb appeal and a strong sense of individuality. Inside, the character continues with impressive 3.5 m ceilings, detailed coving, shutters, original features and an extra large original entrance door. The entrance porch is a real standout, filled with natural light and finished with underfloor heating, making it a peaceful everyday sitting space as well as a welcoming first impression.<br /><br />The accommodation extends to approximately 69 sq m / 744 sq ft and is arranged around a central hallway, with two bedrooms, one bathroom, a living room, kitchen and an additional reception room. The living space has a warm, relaxed feel, with the handmade kitchen opening naturally towards the seating area. Grey cabinetry, Corian worktops and splashbacks, under cabinet lighting and a smart breakfast bar style divide create a practical and stylish space that works well for day to day life and entertaining.<br /><br />Both bedrooms continue the home’s period charm, with tall ceilings, shutters, coving and tasteful décor. The principal bedroom has a calm, characterful feel with a bay window and fitted storage, while the second bedroom offers a comfortable room with space to work from home. The bathroom is larger than many buyers may expect from a flat, with twin countertop basins, a roll top bath, separate shower fittings, wall panelling and a thoughtful blend of classic and contemporary finishes.<br /><br />Outside, the property benefits from driveway parking and garden space, including a private courtyard style seating area that gives you somewhere to sit out, enjoy a morning coffee or unwind after a day by the sea. For buyers searching for a flat for sale in Southbourne with parking and outdoor space, this is an important practical advantage.<br /><br />The location is a major part of the appeal. Bournemouth’s official tourism site highlights its seven miles of coastline, while BCP Council describes Fisherman’s Walk beach as one of Bournemouth’s Blue Flag beaches, with acres of sand and a slightly quieter feel than the main East Cliff and West Cliff beaches. Fisherman’s Walk itself is also recognised as a Green Flag winning park leading from Southbourne towards the cliff top and beach.<br /><br />Southbourne Grove is close by for everyday convenience, cafés, restaurants and independent shops, with Visit Bournemouth describing Southbourne as a growing food and drink destination and Visit Southbourne highlighting the area’s independent shopping scene. Pokesdown is listed as the nearest railway station to BH6 5BG at approximately 1 km, with South Western Railway providing route information from Pokesdown towards London Waterloo. The New Forest is also around 30 minutes by car from Bournemouth, according to the official Bournemouth tourism site.<br /><br />We are advised that the property is share of freehold with no ground rent, no fixed maintenance charge and an EPC rating of C. Council Tax Band is B. With its long lease, coastal position, parking, garden space and strong lifestyle appeal, this Southbourne flat will suit buyers looking for a character home by the sea, a stylish main residence, a second home, or a location with potential short stay appeal, subject to lease terms, consents and local rules.<br /><br />Contact Andrea & Co Estate Agents to arrange your viewing and experience the space, character and coastal lifestyle this Irving Road home has to offer.
