A sizeable four-bedroom detached home just yards from the cliff top with genuine sea views and a sunny balcony. The house offers multiple reception rooms including a bay-fronted lounge and dining room plus a sun room that opens to the rear garden. A garage and driveway provide secure parking; the plot is a decent size with private shrub borders and a patio area.
The property requires updating throughout, giving a buyer scope to modernise layouts, kitchens and bathrooms and add contemporary finishes. Built in the late 1960s/early 1970s, the house has double glazing and gas central heating but likely needs thermal improvements and cosmetic refurbishment; walls are cavity-built with assumed no insulation. There is just one family bathroom plus a separate WC.
This is a no-forward-chain opportunity for a family seeking a coastal location close to Hengistbury Head, local shops, cafés and highly regarded primary schools. Low local crime, fast broadband availability and a very affluent area profile add to long-term appeal, though council tax sits at a higher band.
Serious buyers should budget for renovation costs and confirm the condition of wiring, plumbing and insulation. For those prepared to invest, the property presents solid potential to create a comfortable, characterful family home with strong seaside appeal.
