Southbourne Overcliff Drive, Southbourne, Bournemouth, BH6 3NQ

SOUTHBOURNE is a relaxed, but still bustling suburb just East of Bournemouth and five minutes’ drive to Christchurch. Southbourne's primary attraction is its sandy Blue Flag beach, which provides a quieter retreat from the more crowded beach along the coast at Bournemouth.

SOUTHBOURNE OVERCLIFF DRIVE
A rare opportunity to purchase this stunning family home or beachside retreat situated in the sought-after area of Southbourne and right above the award-wining blue flag-winning Southbourne Beach. This four-bedroom, detached family home has spectacular sea views over Poole Bay and beyond from both floors.

The versatile accommodation is spread over two floors. The living space on the ground floor is the star of the show. With an open-plan lounge/dining area that flows flawlessly into the kitchen.
This space takes in the stunning sea vistas and provides direct access to the rear garden that backs onto the clifftop. The ground floor has three double bedrooms and a large bathroom. The top floor is accessible through the hallway but also benefits from its own private entrance from the outside of the property. This floor boasts a large bedroom, a kitchen, a bathroom, and a spacious living area. The upstairs living room has the most incredible sea views stretching from the Isle of Wight to the Purbecks.

You can access the property from the front or rear of the property. The driveway at the front can park up to three cars comfortably and there is a side gate to access the first floor. The garage is great for storing all waterfront and beachfront paraphernalia. In terms of a rear garden, you couldn’t get any closer to the sea if you tried. With the clifftop at the end of the garden, this sunny space is a great place to kick back while listening to the waves crashing on Southbourne Beach. The ultimate sound of relaxation.

This magnificent home is within 2.0 miles from Christchurch and 1.4 miles from Southbourne Grove where there are plenty of excellent restaurants and high street shops. There are also local shops and food outlets on Broadway and at Southbourne Crossroads which are within a short walking distance. Hengistbury Head (part of a Site of Special Scientific Interest) to the East is close to the property and offers fabulous walking for up to 5.1 miles with views of the beach and Christchurch Harbour towards the famous Mudeford Spit beach huts. Towards Bournemouth, in a Westerly direction, the promenade extends for over 7.1 miles from Southbourne to Sandbanks where there is a ferry to Studland and the Purbecks.

There are plenty of sailing and social options nearby with sailing clubs on Christchurch Harbour or the River Stour. Access to the River Stour is also available to launch boats and paddleboards in Wick Village (approximately 1.0 miles away) and the beach is handy for all forms of water sports.

St Katharine's primary and St Peter's Secondary schools are within easy walking distance – both with good or excellent Ofsted reports.
