Description

Situated within a desirable locale, this spacious detached home presents an excellent opportunity for renovation or investment. Offering over 2,300 square feet of internal living space, the property is conveniently located just a short walk from Southbourne's clifftops and vibrant high street. The accommodation comprises five bedrooms, including a first-floor en-suite, along with multiple flexible reception areas. Upon entering, you are greeted by a welcoming entrance porch that leads into an expansive hallway. Here, you'll find three versatile reception rooms; two positioned at the front of the house—currently utilized as a formal lounge and games room—and a third that opens through French doors to the rear garden, functioning as a dining room. The kitchen features ample storage with both eye-level and base units, leading into a utility room with direct access to the garden. This layout provides potential for modern updates or reconfiguration to enhance functionality and appeal. One of the notable highlights of this property is its large two-storey detached outbuilding. Currently set up as a gym with an office above, it offers significant investment potential. With some imagination and subject to planning permission (STPP), this space could easily be transformed into an annexe for additional living quarters or rental purposes. Additionally, for those needing extra storage or garage facilities, the ground floor could revert to accommodate vehicles. The home occupies one of the widest plots in the area, featuring attractive front gardens bordered by shrubs and enclosed by a low brick wall. A paved driveway provides ample off-road parking and direct access to the outbuilding. The fully enclosed rear garden is designed for outdoor enjoyment with its lawn, wooden decking areas, patio space, and storage shed. This property combines substantial living space with renovation potential in an increasingly sought-after area known for its proximity to golden sandy beaches and local amenities. Internal viewing is highly recommended to appreciate its size and versatility fully.
