Southbourne Overcliff Drive, Southbourne, Bournemouth, Dorset, BH6 3NP

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 across the road from the award wining blue flag winning Southbourne Beach. This five bedroom, detached family home has spectacular sea views over Poole Bay and beyond from all floors.

The versatile accommodation is situated over three floors. The living space is on the middle floor and is the star of the show. The newly luxury fitted kitchen/diner flows flawlessly into the living area. All of this floor takes in the stunning sea vistas and has a front and rear balcony. One with sea views and the other with access down to the rear garden. The ground floor has the main bedroom with sea views and en-suite, two further bedrooms, and utility room which has a side door out to the rear of the property. The top floor has two further bedrooms and bathroom. The bedroom at the front of the property has unbelievable sea views stretching from the Isle of Wight to the Purbecks and has its own private balcony. All bedrooms are spacious and two benefit from sea views while the rear bedroom at the top floor would be ideal for a home office.

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 rear of the property. Access the property from the rear and there is again space to comfortably park three cars, a double garage which is great for storing all waterfront and beach front paraphernalia. The rear garden again has been professionally designed, finished in 2020 and boasts a built in pizza oven, newly laid patio, newly laid artificial turf making it a great place to kick back and relax but is very easily maintained.

This magnificent home is within 2.0 miles from Christchurch and 1.5 miles from Southbourne Grove where there are plenty of excellent restaurants and high street shops.

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 5.0 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 7.0 miles from Southbourne to Sandbanks where there is a ferry to Studland and the Purbecks.
