Location

Sandbourne Road is an exclusive cul-de-sac and one of only two sea front roads in the whole of Bournemouth where you can own a detached cliff top house.

There is a footpath opposite the property which provides direct access down through Branksome Dene Chine to the promenade and its Blue flag multi award winning Sandy beaches where there are a number of restaurants/cafes. During the summer months a land train runs along the promenade to Bournemouth and Boscombe piers.

The popular and vibrant Westbourne Village is a little under a mile away renowned for its boutique shopping, restaurants and wine bars. The Bournemouth/Poole area is well known for its natural beauty and micro-climate with a reputation for having mild winters and more sunshine hours than most other parts of the country.

The area is further enhanced by excellent road, rail and air communications. Mainline rail services operate from Bournemouth Station, offering direct South West Trains service to London Waterloo from approximately 2 hours.   

There is comprehensive shopping at the local town centres of Poole, Bournemouth and further afield at Southampton and Salisbury.   

Good local schools are numerous and include Canford School, Bournemouth and Poole Grammar schools, Bournemouth Collegiate, Talbot Heath and Park School.   

Championship golf is available at Parkstone Golf Course and other local highly regarded clubs at Ferndown and Broadstone.      Along the picturesque shoreline of nearby Poole Harbour are a large number of marinas with sailing and wind/kite surfing facilities.      

Arts are an important aspect of Poole's creativity and heritage and the area has a strong, developing arts scene. The Lighthouse, which is Poole's Centre for the Arts is the largest regional centre in the UK and home to the Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra.   

Local venues have regularly hosted acclaimed theatre productions as well as high-profile music concerts. Other theatres available are The Pavilion in Bournemouth, The Playhouse Salisbury and the Mayflower in Southampton.

Originally built in the 1930's this stunning property sits on a large cliff top plot enjoying a southerly aspect with fantastic sea views from the principal rooms. The house has been beautifully renovated and reconfigured by the current owners to suit 21st century living by providing bright open planned ground floor accommodation and a main bedroom with a dressing room and an en suite shower room, gas central heating and UPVC framed double glazed windows.

The generous frontage benefits from an in and out driveway both with electric gates, two single garages and a large block paved parking area with space for several cars and a covered entrance porch. The entrance hall with a cloakroom and a feature wood block floor opens into a bright and airy dining and sun room area accessing the rear garden. There are two attractive south facing reception rooms, one with a log burner. The kitchen/breakfast room is beautifully designed with a central island, fitted with sleek modern units, stone work tops, high quality integral appliances and a separate utility room. Upstairs there are five good sized bedrooms, three of which have stunning far reaching sea and coastal views with the main bedroom having a dressing room and en suite shower room. There is also a luxurious family bathroom with a shower and a large first floor sun balcony.

Located to the rear of one of the two garages that is currently being used as a games room is a separate office and a shower room and changing room area perfect for using after a dip in the pool or the sea.

The level south facing garden is a particular feature of the property with a paved patio stretching across the rear of the property and around the 10 x 5 metre heated swimming pool.
