Braemar Drive, Highcliffe, Christchurch, BH23

A superb and deceptively spacious three bedroom detached bungalow which has undergone a complete refurbishment. Offering fantastic accommodation across a single storey. The property is situated in a well laid out garden, and is in a very sought after location.

THE SITUATION

Highcliffe on Sea (or simply Highcliffe) sits on a high bluff above a beautiful stretch of sand and shingle beach. This small leafy coastal town, straddling the Dorset/Hampshire border, is best known for Highcliffe Castle, an ornate early Victorian mansion, once home to Mr Selfridge and now an events venue. Its grounds enjoy outstanding views across Christchurch Bay towards the Isle of Wight while footpaths head off to a wooded nature reserve or zig-zag down to the beach.

Highcliffe is ideal for those searching for a relaxed yet smart seaside lifestyle. A high street of useful independent shops includes a bakery and gourmet grocery. Highcliffe also nurtures a foodie reputation with an annual food festival and tasty selection of cafes, gastropubs and restaurants.

Leisure facilities include Highcliffe Castle Golf Club while the New Forest lies just to the north.

As Highcliffe developed post-war property is mostly mid-century character houses, coastal chalets and high-specification new builds. For families, schools are rated ‘good’ while local independents, including Durlston Court and Ballard, are judged ‘excellent’.

Mainline railway stations are found nearby at Hinton Admiral and New Milton with services to London Waterloo in two hours.

There is also a social breakfast bar, and space for large American style fridge freezer.

Across the entrance hallway there is plenty of space for dining room or further furniture. This then arches round to further living space, where there is space for living furniture which could all centre around the in situ fire place, and there is a door leading back to the entrance hallway.
