Description

This striking three-storey detached home, built in 1909, stands as a notable landmark on the road, just a short stroll from Southbourne's acclaimed sandy beaches and the lively Southbourne Grove. Spanning an impressive 3,364 sq. ft., this spacious residence includes six well-sized double bedrooms, six versatile reception rooms, and four bathrooms, making it an exceptional opportunity for families or investors. The property boasts charming period details throughout and offers considerable potential for modernisation or reconfiguration to meet contemporary needs (subject to planning permission). Upon entering, you are greeted by a grand hall that showcases parquet flooring, lofty ceilings, and a character fireplace with wood burner. The inviting bay-fronted lounge and snug provide bright living spaces, while the generous family room at 24ft invites various possibilities for configuration. The formal dining room adjacent to the almost 18ft kitchen holds great potential for creating an expansive kitchen/diner that leads directly into the garden through French doors. The practical utility room with WC adds to the functionality of the ground floor. The first floor features four ample double bedrooms, with the principal suite benefitting from a walk-through dressing area and private en-suite shower room. Remaining bedrooms share access to a family bathroom complete with full-sized bath, plus an additional WC and storage cupboard. The second floor offers even more flexible space with two additional double bedrooms alongside two extra reception rooms that could serve as an office or gym. Outside, the property sits on a large plot with off-road parking for multiple vehicles and access to a private rear garden designed for outdoor enjoyment with its decked area. Notably positioned in one of Southbourne's most sought-after areas, this property is within easy reach of both stunning coastal views and local amenities including shops and restaurants. Current owners have already drawn architectural plans highlighting renovation possibilities which can further enhance its appeal.
