Property valuation

Springbourne is the residential district on the north side of the railway, between the Lansdowne and Boscombe, with Holdenhurst Road as its high street. It lets on its closeness to Bournemouth station, the Lansdowne offices and campuses and the town centre, to professionals, students, sharers and new arrivals, at rents below the cliffs.

Springbourne is the part of Bournemouth where you can walk from the train to the front door. The railway marks its southern edge, Holdenhurst Road runs through it to the Lansdowne, and the town centre is a short walk west. For a tenant it means the station, the offices and the campuses on foot; for a landlord, demand from professionals, students and new arrivals all year; for a seller, buyers who want to live close to town for less than the cliffs cost.

Renting in Springbourne

The rental stock is terraced houses, flats in divided Victorian and Edwardian houses and newer blocks near Holdenhurst Road. One-bed and two-bed flats let to professionals working at the Lansdowne, rail commuters and people who have just moved to the town; terraces let to sharers, students and families. Being a few minutes from the station is what most tenants ask about first.

The group's furnished apartments are a short walk away, in central Bournemouth and on the West Cliff, listed at property to rent in Bournemouth. For a tenancy on a landlord's home here, see letting agents in Springbourne, and for a furnished stay of a month or more, long term lets in Springbourne.

Living in Springbourne

The homes.Mid and late Victorian cottages and terraces around Northcote Road and Lytton Road, Edwardian avenues named after American presidents and statesmen, such as Garfield Avenue and Washington Avenue, larger houses divided into flats, and newer blocks near Holdenhurst Road. Terraces are mostly freehold; flats are leasehold.

Transport

Bournemouth station and the coach station sit on Springbourne's southern edge, about a kilometre from the centre of the district, with trains to London Waterloo in about two hours. Buses run along Holdenhurst Road to the Lansdowne and the town centre, and the Wessex Way gives a quick drive out of town.

State primaries serve the streets either side of Holdenhurst Road. Bournemouth University's town campus and Bournemouth and Poole College are at the Lansdowne, at the western end of Holdenhurst Road, and the Talbot campus is a bus ride north-west.

The market

Rail commuters and weekly workers

With the station on the doorstep, contractors and weekly commuters who go home at weekends take one-bed flats and furnished stays without needing a car.

Second stay, and we'll be back

Great apartment at a perfect location. Jack and the team were so easy to deal with. This is our second time at this apartment block and we'll definitely be returning. Clean, well-maintained, and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay.

FAQs

Estate agents in Springbourne: questions

Is Springbourne a good place to rent in Bournemouth?

For tenants who want the station, the Lansdowne and the town centre on foot, yes. Holdenhurst Road has supermarkets and everyday shops, and rents tend to sit below the clifftop districts. It is not a beach area, so tenants who want the sea outside the door look elsewhere.

How far is Springbourne from Bournemouth station?

The railway forms Springbourne's southern edge, and the station and the coach station are about a kilometre from the centre of the district, so most homes are a short walk away. That is why commuters and people arriving by train choose it.

Do I need an HMO licence to let to students in Springbourne?

A house shared by five or more people in two or more households needs a mandatory HMO licence from BCP Council, and smaller shares may need one where additional licensing applies at the time of writing. Springbourne has many shared houses near the Lansdowne, so check the address first.

Is parking difficult in Springbourne?

It can be near Holdenhurst Road and the station, and some streets closer to the town centre have controls. A home with off-road parking is worth naming in a listing. Many tenants here do not drive, so a flat without a space still lets well.

What sort of homes are in Springbourne?

Victorian cottages and terraces, Edwardian houses on avenues named after American presidents, larger houses divided into flats, and newer blocks near Holdenhurst Road. Terraces are usually freehold and flats leasehold.
