Penrith Road, Clifftops, BH5 1LT

This spacious ground-floor apartment sits in a purpose-built block on Boscombe Overcliff Drive, with the clifftop and sandy beaches just across the road.

Southbourne is close by for day-to-day shopping, cafés and places to eat, and it’s easy to head into Bournemouth, Christchurch or out towards Hengistbury Head whenever you fancy.

Access is via a secure entry system, and once inside the flat it immediately feels light and open.

The living room is at the front of the apartment and offers plenty of space for sofas and seating, with a bright window that brings the room to life.

A door from here opens out onto a large patio, which works really well for sitting outside or having friends over, with space for a table and chairs.

The kitchen is arranged as a kitchen-breakfast room and includes a built-in breakfast table that comfortably seats four.

There’s good worktop and cupboard space, along with integrated appliances including a gas hob and oven, fridge/freezer, dishwasher and washing machine. All three bedrooms are good-sized doubles.

The main bedroom overlooks the communal gardens and benefits from built-in wardrobes, a matching dressing table and its own en-suite with a walk-in shower.

The second bedroom also has built-in storage, while the third is currently used as a dining room but would work just as well as a bedroom or home office.

The main bathroom is fully tiled and fitted with a bath and shower over.

Outside, the communal gardens are neatly maintained and mostly laid to lawn, with mature hedging that gives a nice sense of privacy from the road.

There’s also a garage included with the flat, fitted with an electric up-and-over door, along with visitor parking. The apartment has gas central heating and double glazing throughout.

It’s a great-sized, easy-to-live-in home in a brilliant seaside location, and one that’s definitely worth seeing in person. EPC Rating: C
