Set on a large plot in prime Hengistbury Head, this extended detached home offers genuine family space and a superb coastal location. The house provides 2,393 sq ft with five bedrooms (four doubles), two reception rooms, a kitchen/breakfast room and a conservatory overlooking a sunny south-facing garden. A tandem garage and driveway deliver useful off-street parking for a growing household.
The layout suits multi-generational or flexible family life — separate living rooms, a conservatory for relaxed dining, and two bathrooms reduce morning congestion. The garden is private and well stocked with mature shrubs, fruit trees, a vegetable patch and a greenhouse, ideal for outdoor hobbies and children’s play. Local amenities, good schools and quick access to award-winning beaches reinforce the family-friendly appeal.
Practical issues are straightforward but material: the house needs renovation to modern standards and cavity walls are assumed to lack insulation, affecting running costs. EPC D and Council Tax band E reflect energy and tax positions to factor into budgets. The property was built mid-20th century and retains period Arts and Crafts character, but updating heating, windows insulation and decor will be required.
For buyers seeking a bespoke family home by the sea, this presents a rare opportunity to create long-term value in an affluent, low-crime neighbourhood. The location — moments from the beach, nature reserve and good transport links — is the strongest draw; expect to invest in renovation to unlock the property’s full potential.
