Kestrel, Dalmeny Road, Southbourne, BH6 4BW

What’s On Offer?
Uninterrupted sea views, energising sunrises and romantic sunsets create an enviable backdrop to daily living at this luxury home. From both inside and out, in the garden and on the balconies, the views are calming and inspiring. You really feel connected to the water from both the main living areas and the bedrooms, being just meters from the clifftop. Over 1200ft of living space feels brilliant for couples and small families alike, but it somehow feels like so much more.

This home makes entertaining guests easy thanks to a first floor open a plan living/dining area, with dual aspect balconies and a sensibly sized garden for BBQs, roaming kids and sunbathing! Just imagine- wake, coffee on the balcony, radio on in the background, overlooking the water. Crucially, the home is set back just enough from the cliff top so that you won’t have beach goers looking up at you, which is lovely!
 

Refinement.
Finished to a high specification throughout and amplified by a list of premium fixtures and fittings, this home really is ready to go. From the contemporary kitchen, with its built-in appliances, to the exquisitely floor to ceiling Porcelanosa tiled en suites. That main living space has a fresh feeling, having been neutrally decorated -plus a flash of colour- and offers plenty of space for a large sofa plus a dining set/ work desk. Modern windows and shutters offer great energy performance and keep things cool during the warmer months.
The home was only built in recently years, meaning buyers will benefit from the remainder of a 10 year builders warranty. Peace of mind. Some will consider this as a holiday home or additional residence and we completely see why- it’s somewhere you could ‘lock and leave’ during winter, or run it as a very popular Airbnb (which the sellers currently enjoy).

Inverted Layout. Genius..
Entering the home, you’ll notice that there’s no dark, narrow walkway but a bright hallway that leads to all bedrooms and the family bathroom. A clever design, as it keeps bedrooms cooler for sleeping and maximises the views you’ll revel in during the day. All three bedrooms are doubles, with access to gardens via French doors plus sea views and two of the bedrooms boast en suite shower rooms. The primary bedroom even has a walk in wardrobe/dressing area. Boxes are being ticked! That main family bathroom downstairs had a bath with shower over, so those with messy children, dogs or those that just like a soak are in luck!
Upstairs in the main living space, you’re welcomed by vaulted ceilings and those two balconies facing South and East…morning coffee sorted, all day sun guaranteed, ability to find shade sorted.

That contemporary kitchen offers integrated washing machine, dishwasher, separate under-counter fridge and freezers, electric oven and induction hob with an extractor. There’s plenty of worktop space for meal prep and dual aspect windows give natural light and ventilation all day. You can chat with family and guests whilst cooking up your signature dish, thanks to the open plan layout of this living space. Defined spaces for Netflix binges, formal dining and chefs quarters whilst feeling communal.

Location. Location. Location.
With instant access down to the sand, Dalmeny Road is as close to our award-winning beaches as possible…and they stretch for miles! Southbourne is currently THE place to be, with plenty of pubs, restaurants, and coffee spots across the coast, and along Southbourne Grove- a booming community hub that offers a seaside lifestyle that many can only dream of. Christchurch and Bournemouth are a few minutes away by car or the reliable public transport network, plus rail services from Bournemouth and Christchurch offer speedy access to London.

Outside.
To the front, a brick paved driveway is large enough for two vehicles, plus there’s a small garage/ store for motorbikes, sports equipment and paddle boards accessed via an electric roller door.
The property includes the semi circle land that’s currently fenced off, which would make the garden a wrap around garden...it makes this a true corner plot with an interesting footprint.
Laid to patio, lawn and shrub borders the garden is currently very low maintenance but is primed for green fingered buyers to go wild! There’s plenty of space to entertain, let kids run riot, relax on large garden furniture and enjoy al fresco dining.

Agent Note.
We might ruffle some feathers here…but some of the new homes along the coast are a bit brutal looking. This home, despite being just a few years old, looks like a HOME. No crazy shapes, no garish cladding. Just an inviting beachside home you’ll be proud of every time you arrive home.
This is an opportunity to secure yourself a brilliant beachside lifestyle capped off by standout restaurants, pubs and cafes along with an array of essential amenities and access to local transport.
