Oxford Avenue, Southbourne

Elegant Seven-Bedroom Detached Home in Prime Southbourne Location. Situated in one of Southbourne’s most desirable central locations, just moments from the lively Southbourne Grove and within easy reach of the seafront, this substantial detached home offers over 3,000 sq ft of well-appointed living space, full of charm, character, and versatility.  Set on an impressive corner plot with wrap-around gardens, this beautifully maintained property combines classic period features with modern comfort, making it a superb choice for families seeking both space and convenience. From the moment you step inside, the grand entrance hall makes a statement—with original wooden floorboards, a stunning fireplace, window seat, and an ornate staircase that immediately sets the tone for the rest of the home. 


Steeped in history, the home holds local significance, having operated for many years as a private hotel before being thoughtfully converted into the stunning family residence it is today. Historical documents, held by the current vendor, trace the property’s evolution and add a unique dimension for those drawn to homes with heritage and character.

To the front of the house are two elegant reception rooms, each with feature fireplaces, offering ideal spaces for formal entertaining or cosy family evenings. There is also a dedicated study, perfect for remote working or quiet reading, along with a ground floor shower room and WC.  At the rear, the large 20ft kitchen/breakfast room forms the heart of the home. Fitted with a range of stylish shaker-style units and real wood worktops, the kitchen is both functional and inviting. Integrated appliances and ample space for a dining table make it perfect for family meals or casual entertaining, while French doors open directly onto the garden, ideal for al fresco dining.  The first floor continues to impress with a spacious landing that leads to four generous double bedrooms and a family bathroom. A further staircase rises to the second floor, where three more double bedrooms and a third bathroom offer excellent flexibility for larger families, guests, or even potential for additional workspace or hobby rooms.
Outside, the home sits within attractive wrap-around gardens, enclosed at the front by elegant metal railings. The rear garden offers a sunny, private setting with a beautifully landscaped patio and multiple seating areas. A driveway provides off-street parking for two cars, and the garden also includes a shed, vegetable patch, and gated side access.


With spacious interiors, period features, and a prime position in central Southbourne, this property ticks all the boxes for discerning buyers. Early inspection is highly recommended.
