This 1930s four-bedroom detached house sits in a sought-after Southbourne location, a short walk from Tuckton High Street, Southbourne Grove and award-winning beaches. The property offers a generous internal footprint of about 1,300 sq ft, two reception rooms with open fireplaces and a sizeable private rear garden — a practical family layout with strong extension and reconfiguration potential (STPP).
The home is offered chain free and benefits from a wide driveway with off-road parking for several vehicles and a detached garage. Local amenities, frequent bus links and a mix of well-regarded primary and secondary schools are all within easy reach, making this appealing for families looking to settle near the coast.
The house requires full modernisation throughout and has an available structural report highlighting potential issues. Notable practical points include a single family bathroom plus a separate WC, older double glazing (pre-2002), cavity walls likely lacking insulation and above-average council tax. These are important factors when budgeting for renovation and energy improvements.
For buyers seeking a characterful family home with space to adapt, this property presents clear upside — subject to renovation and any remedial works recommended in the structural report. A viewing is recommended to appreciate the layout, garden and extension possibilities in this convenient, affluent neighbourhood.
