Glendale Road, Southbourne, BH6 4JA

What’s On Offer?
This exemplary detached home epitomises contemporary family living by the water. It is perfectly positioned within walking distance of the beach, the river, town, superb local amenities and great public transport links. With four first-floor bedrooms, a downstairs study, a large open plan lounge-dining-kitchen area plus a separate living room, it’s safe to say this home ticks some boxes! Impressive and welcoming from the moment you step inside, the impeccably designed interior dazzles with a perfect blend of homely character and modern finesse, set over nearly 2200ft of space Well proportioned rooms with high ceilings are tastefully furnished and exquisitely finished. There’s a calming tone throughout the home, but we know this would make one hell of a venue for birthday parties, Christmas and New Years!


Inside.
Kick your shoes off in the porch before stepping through another lockable door, into an intriguing hallway that gives a direct line of sight to the rear garden; a teaser of what’s to come.  Effortless but cohesive boho design gives warmth and lightness in qual measures, to a typically dull area. The exposed brickwork looks great with the opposing wall panelling, hooks/shelving keeps your daily items in one place and the flooring runs all the way into the main living space. We love the use of the under stairs space as a reading spot, but this could also become extra storage…or where the dog bed goes!

There’s a separate lounge at the front of the home, complete with dual aspect windows (everyone loves a bay window), effect fireplace and space for large sofas. Charming and calming in its character, this would make a brilliant ‘Netflix room’ away from the busier main living space.
Across the hallway you’ll find another reception room, currently the office/play room. This could easily be a downstairs bedroom, and some pre-market viewers have discussed the idea of an en suite here...

Next you’ll spot the utility room and WC. With space & plumbing for washing machine and tumble dryer, extra fridge freezer, prep sink plus wall storage and a handy heated towel rail, the utility keeps everything you need tucked away, freeing up kitchen space and keeping the noise down! Perfect!


Showstopper.
We can’t stop flicking through photos of the main living space. It’s a beautiful family area where the current owners spend most of their time, and we can see why. It’s huge, with plenty of floor space to reconfigure furniture to suit your lifestyle. There’s a snug area tucked around the corner, compete with a working log burner and wall mounted TV for cosy movie marathons. It’s also perfect for watching the match whilst prepping dinner and ideal for couples wanting to watch different shows at the same time.

There’s space for a large dining set, and with a ten cover table fitting in with room to spare, you might just become regular hosts of Christmas, birthday parties and fancy dinners! For more casual meals, breakfast and dare we say it, last minute homework sessions, the breakfast island is the daily hub everyone congregates at.

With a timeless shaker design and a mature colour theme, this kitchen oozes sophistication. Wood grain cabinetry pairs well with the islands solid countertop and matching wood splash backs. Copper handle hardware matches the contemporary accent hanging lights and even the shelving brackets- we love the attention to detail! Chefs will have plenty of countertop space to work on, a Stoves range cooker, plenty of storage (including both sides of the island), integral appliances including the fridge freezer, dishwasher, extractor fan hood and even concealed bins. With a view in the rear garden and that all important inside-outside feeling when the doors are open, you’ll feel connected with guests and family partying in the garden, wherever you are.

The whole room is flooded in lights thanks to large aluminium bifold doors, two sets of openable windows plus a bespoke vaulted skylight section at the rear of the property- check the photos, this was an EXPENSIVE design choice that was totally worth it!


Outside.
The rear garden is surprisingly big here, much larger than you’d expect from the frontage. Helped by a widening corner plot position (facing the correct direction), owners will enjoy all day sun, established boarders and ‘sections’ serving different purposes for daily life. There’s a veg patch for green-fingered buyers, a large patio for outside dining furniture, a wood store, plenty of lawn space and mature plant/shrub boarders. There’s even a heated shower- super handy for kids, mucky pets and sandy feet! For this part of the world, the garden is more generous than you might expect- it’s ideal for kids/grand children to run around, but not so big that it becomes a maintenance hassle. You’ll also notice just how secluded it feels with privacy in all parts, so you’ll feel comfortable sun bathing, dining, playing and gardening in peace.
Enthusiastic gardeners will appreciate the bright Yellow Laburnum tree and several Lilac trees, plus a Spring hedgerow backdrop of orange, pink and purple flowers.

Out front, the owners are in the process of extending the driveway width space, but in its current form theres space for several cars, including a long wheelbase camper van. Those with sports equipment, bikes and motorcycles can securely store everything out of sight in the integral garage. There’s gated side access for bringing larger items around the back, such as wheel barrows and those new plants you ordered!


On The First Floor.
Another pleasant surprise in this amazing home is just how spacious the upstairs is. From the road, you’d never expect the ceiling height, bedroom floor space and comfortable bathrooms hidden inside. Viewings recommend, indeed.
The main bedroom, spanning the front width of the property, is the perfect size in our opinion. You’ll have space for a super king plus bedside tables, masses of integral wardrobes and once again, more eaves storage than you’d think. Architecturally, this is a very clever design to retain ‘loft storage’ that is normally lost.

The en suite to this room is a sublime sanctuary you’ll look forward to after a long day at work. Your heated towel is waiting just outside of the walk-in rain shower cubicle and the basin is naturally lit thanks to an openable window. It’s thought out, large enough and certainly fancy enough.
Prefer a bath? Head into the main family bathroom- it boasts both a full size bath and another shower cubicle. This is a bright room that becomes cosy when needed, with a Velux window plus wall and low level lights. Another sophisticated space with a warm, earthy colour palette that you’ll be proud of.

A further three double bedrooms towards the rear of the home ensure guests are comfortable, and that there are no arguments over who gets which room! There is no ‘small’ bedroom here and there’s even more eaves storage on offer in the back bedrooms. We rarely mention landings in listings, but there’s a lot of storage here to either free-up even more bedroom space, house bedding and of course, toys!


Location Location.
This area has seen many bungalows transformed into contemporary family homes over recent years and Glendale is certainly the road to be in! Hengistbury Head is perfectly positioned for those wanting the best seaside living experience, with Mudeford Sandbank, Tuckton Shops, Southbourne and of course the beaches, all within walking distance. Christchurch is also just around the corner, so whether you’re planning to launch the boat for the day, test yourself walking Warren Hill, or enjoy one the nearby restaurants and bars, you’ve not got far to travel!



Who’s It For?
The accommodation on offer is versatile for differing lifestyles, ages and family sizes. Those looking for a downstairs bedroom long term will have options, and those working from home can easily separate their admin from home life.
It’s for those longing for a life by the water, near to bustling communities but also peace and quiet. Glendale offers it all.
