Westbourne is an affluent suburb of Bournemouth, situated approximately 1 mile to the west of Bournemouth Town Centre. It features a popular local shopping centre that serves the nearby residential areas of Westbourne, Alum Chine, Talbot Woods and Branksome Park. Westbourne features a good mix of quality independent retailers and boutiques as well as numerous national multiples such as M&S Simply Food, Starbucks, Cook, Iceland, Boots, Loungers, HSBC & Costa.
The subject property is located in a highly visible position fronting Seamoor Road.
The property comprises an attractive ground floor retail unit that forms part of a three story building that we understand dates from the late 19th Century. The building is not listed but is located within the Westbourne Conservation Area.
Internally the ground floor shop is fitted to a high standard, commensurate with its current use as a hair salon. The property includes rear w/c and ancillary staff accommodation, basement storage and rear loading access. We have measured the property (excluding the basement) with an approximate net internal area of 98.58 sq m (1,061 sq ft).
Two residential flats are located above the ground floor retail unit. These flats have previously been sold off on long leasehold interests (see Tenancy).
