Set on a substantial 0.15-acre plot in highly desirable Southbourne, this three-bedroom detached house sits within easy walking distance of award-winning beaches and Hengistbury Head nature reserve. The property offers a generous internal footprint approaching 1,200 sq ft, a dual-aspect living/dining room with bay window and sliding doors, and a private south-west facing rear garden that catches afternoon sun. Driveway parking for three cars and an attached garage add practical appeal for family life.
Built between 1930–1949 with filled cavity walls and gas central heating to radiators, the house is structurally typical of its era but requires renovation throughout. There is substantial potential to modernise, extend or reconfigure (subject to planning) to create a larger, contemporary family home. The current layout includes a separate kitchen, family bathroom and an additional separate WC — useful but limited for modern family needs.
Local amenities are strong: a mix of shops, cafes and transport links are close by, and several well-regarded primary and secondary schools are within easy reach. The property is freehold, shows evident kerb appeal and sits in a very affluent, low-crime neighbourhood. Buyers should note council tax is above average and that refurbishment costs will be required to unlock the home’s full potential.
This house will suit a family or buyer seeking a sizeable plot and scope to add value through renovation or extension. A viewing is recommended to appreciate the plot size, garden aspect and the range of possibilities on offer.
