St. Catherines Road, Southbourne

Stunning Contemporary Coastal Home Opposite the Beach. DRIFT is a beautifully refurbished detached home with sea views, combining contemporary design, high-quality finishes, and thoughtfully arranged accommodation. Situated directly opposite Southbourne’s award-winning Blue Flag beach, DRIFT enjoys an exceptional coastal setting with miles of shoreline on the doorstep. The nearby promenade, stretching from Southbourne to Sandbanks, is ideal for walking and cycling, while the popular SOBO Beach Bar & Restaurant is just moments away. Southbourne’s vibrant high street, offering a variety of independent shops, cafés, and restaurants, is also within easy reach. The area benefits from excellent transport links to Bournemouth, Christchurch, and beyond, along with well-regarded local schools, including St Katharine’s C of E Primary School and St Peter’s School.

A bright entrance hall leads to a spacious ground floor comprising four double bedrooms and a versatile fifth room, ideal as a study, nursery, or dressing room. Two rear-facing bedrooms feature fitted wardrobes and stylish en-suite shower rooms finished with porcelain tiling, while a modern family bathroom serves the remaining rooms. A separate utility room provides space for appliances and additional storage, with the pressurised hot water system neatly housed beneath the stairs.

A glass balustrade staircase leads to the impressive first-floor living space, designed to maximise light and openness. The kitchen/dining room is fitted with sleek cabinetry, granite worktops, integrated appliances, a walk-in pantry, and a cloakroom, with ample space for both dining and seating. Inset ceiling speakers with DAB radio and Bluetooth connectivity serve both this area and the main reception room.

A large internal window enhances the flow of natural light between the spaces, while the reception room opens onto a recessed, porcelain-tiled balcony with uninterrupted sea views.

Externally, a generous rear terrace leads to a level lawn enclosed by timber fencing, with young planting to provide future privacy. To the front, there is ample off-road parking, a garage with an electric roller door and rear access to the garden, sensor lighting, and provision for an EV charging point.
