About
Positioned within an imposing character building once associated with Lord Mountbatten, this duplex maisonette offers a notably different experience from many coastal apartments.
Arranged across the first and second floors with its own internal staircase and well separated accommodation, the layout carries more of the feel of a compact house than a conventional flat.
The principal living space is bright and sociable, centred around an open plan kitchen, dining and sitting room with broad windows drawing in natural light.
Above, the top floor principal suite introduces vaulted ceilings, exposed structural timbers and direct access onto a private sun terrace, creating a quieter retreat removed from the main living accommodation below.
Two allocated parking spaces add practical convenience, while the beach, promenade and Westbourne’s café culture all sit within easy reach.
ABOUT THIS PROPERTY: A private entrance hall and internal staircase create an immediate sense of separation from the building itself, giving the maisonette a more self contained air than is often associated with apartment living.
The first floor centres around a generous open plan kitchen, dining and sitting room.
Large windows on two aspects bring natural light into the space, while the layout comfortably accommodates both relaxed seating and dining.
The kitchen is designed in a contemporary style with a peninsula breakfast bar creating a natural point for informal dining or entertaining.
Also on this floor is the second bedroom, positioned separately from the principal suite above and served by a modern bathroom, making the layout well suited to guests, occasional home working or longer term flexibility.
The top floor principal bedroom introduces a distinctly different atmosphere.
Angled ceilings, exposed timber detailing and fitted wardrobes create a room with character and privacy, matched by a well appointed ensuite shower room.
Doors open directly onto the private sun terrace, offering an elevated outdoor space suited to quieter mornings or late afternoon sun after returning from the beach.
OUTSIDE: The private sun terrace provides space for seating with a pleasant elevated outlook across surrounding trees and rooftops.
The property also benefits from two allocated parking spaces on the driveway.
LOCATION: Cedar House occupies a well regarded residential setting positioned between Westbourne and the coastline, allowing straightforward access to both daily amenities and the beach lifestyle that defines this part of the coast.
The promenade and sandy shoreline are nearby and can be reached via a footpath down to Branksome Beach just 350 metres away. The golden sand extends west to Sandbanks and east to Bournemouth.
Westbourne Village offers a strong mix of independent cafés, restaurants, boutiques and convenience shopping alongside larger retailers including Marks & Spencer Foodhall.
Branksome railway station is also nearby with direct services to London Waterloo, making the property equally practical as a main residence, coastal base or managed second home.
