Southcliffe Road, Christchurch, BH23

A charming detached residence, ideally positioned just a short walk from the award-winning Avon Beach. Dating from the 1930s, the property retains a wealth of period character and has been thoughtfully modernised and extended by the current owners to a high standard throughout. Set within mature, private south-west facing gardens, the home further benefits from an integral single garage.

An entrance porch with casement doors opens into a spacious and welcoming reception hallway, providing access to all ground floor accommodation and featuring a useful understairs WC.

To the front of the property is a well-proportioned reception room, currently utilised as a home office, featuring an attractive bay window fitted with plantation shutters. This room also provides internal access to the integral single garage.

The heart of the home is the impressive semi open-plan, L-shaped living accommodation. The lounge area enjoys a front aspect and features a log burner creating a warm focal point, flanked by bespoke fitted storage. This flows seamlessly into the generous dining and day area, offering ample space for furniture. Vaulted ceilings enhance the sense of space and light, while French doors open directly onto the rear gardens.

The kitchen also enjoys French doors to the garden and is fitted with a comprehensive range of handleless floor, drawer and wall units, complemented by quality stonework surfaces. A central island provides additional storage and a practical breakfast bar. Integrated appliances include twin steam ovens, an induction hob with gas wok burner and a wine cooler.

Leading from the kitchen is a good-sized garden room, enjoying the south-westerly aspect and incorporating a utility area with space and plumbing for white goods.

The first floor offers four well-proportioned double bedrooms, three of which benefit from built-in storage. These are served by a contemporary family bathroom comprising a separate bath, a large walk-in shower with rainfall attachment, and a fitted his-and-hers vanity unit, all finished with modern wall and floor tiling.

The principal bedroom is a particular highlight, offering excellent proportions, extensive mirrored built-in wardrobes and a bay window to the front aspect. This room is served by a stylish three-piece en-suite shower room, featuring a large walk-in shower with honeycomb tiled flooring and feature tiled walls.

Externally, the property is approached via a gravelled driveway providing ample off-road parking and access to the integral single garage, with side access leading through to the rear garden.

The rear garden is a standout feature, enjoying a sunny south-west facing aspect with mature trees and established planting, all enclosed by boarded fencing to provide a high degree of privacy. A combination of patio and composite decking extends across the rear of the property, linking directly to the French doors and creating an excellent indoor-outdoor flow.

A rear access gate leads onto a pedestrian pathway, providing direct access down to the beach.
