Milner Road, Bournemouth, BH4

Occupying a prime position within one of West Overcliff’s most distinguished developments, this exceptional four-bedroom duplex penthouse offers approximately 2,700 sq ft of beautifully proportioned accommodation, complemented by generous private terraces and extensive south-westerly views across Bournemouth Bay towards the Isle of Purbeck.

Set just moments from the clifftop and sandy beaches, the property combines the scale and privacy of a substantial home with the convenience and security of luxury apartment living.

Rothwell Dene is an award-winning development occupying an enviable position within the highly regarded West Overcliff Conservation Area. Comprising just six substantial apartments and two penthouses, the development received a Borough of Bournemouth Civic Award in 2000 and remains one of the area's most impressive residential buildings.

This remarkable duplex penthouse is the largest residence within the development and occupies the second and top floors, creating an exceptional sense of space, light and privacy.

From the moment you enter, the generous proportions immediately become apparent. The accommodation has been designed to maximise its elevated position, with expansive glazing and access to the terraces drawing the eye towards the beautiful coastal outlook beyond.

At the heart of the home is the magnificent sitting and dining room, an impressive space perfectly suited to both relaxed everyday living and entertaining. Natural light floods the room, while the elevated position provides wonderful views across Bournemouth Bay.

The recently replaced kitchen/breakfast room offers a stylish and practical environment with ample space for informal dining, complementing the more formal entertaining areas beautifully.

The principal bedroom suite provides a luxurious private retreat, complete with built-in wardrobes and an en-suite bathroom. The second bedroom also benefits from its own en-suite bathroom, while a third bedroom and separate shower room provide excellent accommodation for family or guests.

A utility room and extensive storage further enhance the practicality of the apartment.

The duplex arrangement continues to an impressive galleried study and sitting area, creating a wonderfully versatile additional living space. Whether used as a home office, reading area or more informal sitting room, it adds another dimension to the accommodation.

A fourth bedroom and cloakroom complete this level, making the property equally suited to permanent family living, those working from home or buyers seeking generous guest accommodation.
