Stourcliffe Avenue, Bournemouth, Dorset, BH6

This is a substantial Southbourne property with an unusual choice of direction: retain the two-apartment setup for home and income, or explore reinstating it as a four-bedroom family home, subject to the necessary consents and building regulations. The interiors are clean and usable but dated, and the overgrown rear garden offers scope for a clear-out and landscaping; the visible exterior appears broadly intact. The £55,000–£95,000 renovation range gives a sense of the project involved. The score is held back by gaps in the value assessment: floor area is missing, so value against local £/sq ft cannot yet be judged, and the available figures do not establish the post-works value.
