Summary - 40 WORTLEY ROAD HIGHCLIFFE CHRISTCHURCH BH23 5DT
4 bed 3 bath Detached
Spacious four-bedroom family home with garden cabin and generous parking.
Prestigious coastal location near beach and clifftop walks
This handsome four-double-bedroom detached house in Highcliffe offers 2,651 sq ft of well-presented, versatile living just moments from the beach. The principal living space is a standout: a sculpted open-plan kitchen, dining and living area with panoramic sliding doors and rooflights creates a bright social hub, while a separate sitting room with a wood burner and a snug provide quieter family spaces. Practicality is strong too, with a large utility/prep room, ground-floor shower, home office and an attached garage plus parking for up to five vehicles.
Outside, the south-facing landscaped garden is private and low-maintenance, with a modern garden cabin ideal for a home office, gym or flexible accommodation. The property is freehold, benefits from fast broadband and excellent mobile signal, and sits in a very affluent, low-crime area close to coastal walks, Highcliffe Castle and local amenities.
Buyers should note some factual points: the house was constructed c.1900–1929 but refurbished to a contemporary standard, the glazing predates 2002, and council tax is above average (Band E). The wider area’s demographic indicators show an ageing urban community, and nearby primary school Ofsted outcomes are mixed, which may matter to families prioritising school performance.
Overall this is a spacious, thoughtfully updated coastal home that combines striking contemporary design with family-friendly practicalities. It will particularly suit buyers seeking seaside living with generous accommodation and flexible outbuildings, while those wanting completely new glazing or the lowest ongoing council tax should factor that into their decision.
