Description

** ** *House & Son* Sole Agents * Sea View Cliff Top Balcony Apartment * Best Offers Considered *No Chain * Fabulous Opportunity To Own Apartment Just 5 Minutes Walk To Wonderful Bournemouth Beach * 999 Year Lease & Share Of Freehold * Underground Parking

Wonderful opportunity to acquire a two double bedroom sea facing apartment with two balconies, in the idyllic development of Elizabeth Court. Built in the late 1960's, it is one of the East Cliff's best known and loved residential apartment blocks. It has the benefit of a long 999 year Lease and a Share of the Freehold, making it the perfect 'sea side' home. Now in need of general updating and modernisation, this apartment is offered with vacant possession and has been priced for a quick sale, making it an excellent investment.

The development is enviably situated being in a prime East Cliff clifftop location with 'Zig Zag' beach path directly opposite, leading to
the gorgeous sandy Bournemouth beach below and to both Pier Approach and Bournemouth Gardens, where the shopping centre and fantastic amenities can also be enjoyed.

There is also a good bus service that operates on Overcliff Drive, taking passengers along the coastline to both the East and West of the area.

The property comprises of an entrance hallway, living room with views directly towards the sea and access out to one of the two balconies; the primary south facing balcony being situated off the lounge; a second balcony is accessed from bedroom one, with views overlooking Grove Road. For added convenience the kitchen is also accessed from the lounge. There are two double bedrooms and a bathroom which features a three piece suite and a window.

This iconic cliff top development enjoys award winning communal grounds, with the high standards being maintained by the two resident caretakers at the development. There are lifts and stairwells to all floors, including the secure underground residents carpark. There is ample visitor parking on the surface parking area to the rear (with a valid permit).
