Large 1930s detached house with garage and garden — renovation required, chain free.
Spacious 3 double bedrooms with high-ceiling entrance hall
A substantial 1930s detached three-bedroom home on Beaufort Road offering wide scope for a family to create a long-term residence close to Southbourne’s shops, cafés and beaches. The house has generous rooms, high ceilings in the entrance hall, two reception rooms plus a conservatory and a sizable plot with garage and store — a good canvas for someone seeking extra space and scope to add value.
The property requires comprehensive updating: the boiler is out of service, décor and some fixtures are dated, and the garden is overgrown. There are historic loft rooms reached by a fixed staircase that do not meet modern building regulations and therefore are not currently suitable as formal bedrooms, though they illustrate potential for a compliant conversion subject to planning and building control.
Practical positives include double glazing throughout, mains gas central heating (needs repair/replacement), a single garage with additional store and garden room, off-street parking and a decent plot that supports landscaping or extensions (subject to consents). EPC information suggests energy improvement work would also boost comfort and resale value. The house is offered freehold and chain-free, simplifying purchase for buyers prepared to carry out renovation works.
This home will suit a family or buyer looking for a renovation project near good schools and coastal amenities. Viewings recommended if you want a spacious, characterful detached property with clear potential — bring a budget and a plan for modernization.
