Borthwick Road, Bournemouth BH1

Rare opportunity to acquire a spacious three-bedroom first and second floor maisonette with the freehold included, a new 999-year lease, overlooking Churchill Gardens Conservation Area. Recently improved with a new boiler (2025), roof works and excellent future investment potential.

A rare opportunity to acquire this exceptionally spacious three-bedroom first and second floor maisonette, forming part of an attractive Victorian conversion overlooking the historic Churchill Gardens Conservation Area. Combining generous accommodation, character features and the considerable benefit of acquiring the freehold interest, this property represents an outstanding home or long-term investment.

Accessed from the ground floor and occupying the upper two floors of this elegant period building, the property offers well-balanced accommodation extending over two levels. Stairs rise to a welcoming first floor landing where the principal living accommodation can be found. The bright and spacious living room enjoys attractive bay windows overlooking the gardens, creating an excellent entertaining space with ample room for both living and dining. A fitted kitchen provides a practical layout with a range of storage cupboards, generous work surfaces and space for appliances.

The accommodation has double glazed windows throughout and is completed by three well-proportioned bedrooms, all offering excellent natural light and flexibility for growing families, home working or guest accommodation. The bathroom is fitted with a white shell suite and has recently benefited from the installation of a humidistat extractor fan, improving ventilation and comfort. The current owners have invested in a number of significant improvements including the installation of a new gas combination boiler in 2025, updated pipework and additional ventilation system within the living room, new compliant fire door and wifi connected alarm system.

The building itself has also benefited from ongoing investment, with the western roof slope having recently been replaced in 2025. Further improvement works to the eastern roof slope are scheduled for August 2026, creating an opportunity to incorporate additional 50mm insulation boards, enhancing the property's thermal efficiency for years to come.

One of the most significant features of this sale is the ownership structure. The purchaser will acquire the freehold of both the first floor maisonette and the ground floor apartment together with the benefit of a new 999-year lease for the maisonette. Ownership of the freehold also provides the potential for future financial benefit through lease extension premiums or other freeholder rights.
