Southwood Avenue, Southbourne, BH6 3QB

Are you moving to the coast with dreams of stepping out through your patio doors, tea in hand, and being moments from one of the most beautiful stretches of beach in the country? If so… take a look at this one.

This two-bedroom ground floor home delivers the practical stuff brilliantly: a bright open-plan lounge/dining room with a great bay window, plus patio doors opening straight out to your garden, so the outside genuinely becomes part of how you live.

The main bedroom is a great size with lovely windows and a really nice feel, and the second bedroom is a very usable double too — perfect for guests, a proper home office, or just giving you that extra flexibility.

The kitchen is on the smaller side, but it’s super functional and well laid out — and realistically, you’ll spend most of your time in the main living space (and outside, when the weather’s doing its thing). The bathroom is a good one, with a shower over the bath.

Outside, you’ve got a walled garden for your private use, with a little gate — ideal for a morning coffee, a bit of fresh air, or somewhere to keep beach kit and bikes. It’s worth noting it isn’t completely screened, so it’s not “totally secluded”, but it’s a really handy outdoor space to have this close to the sea.

And that’s the real headline: you’re right next to the beach, so sea air and shoreline walks can become part of your normal routine. At the same time, you’re not far from the high street, with cafés, restaurants and shops close by when you want them. Add in off-road parking (a genuine bonus in this spot) and you’ve got a coastal home that ticks a lot of boxes.
