We've tightened what earns a Pursue. A home now needs a published valuation, a strategy that still makes money after real running costs and lender stress tests, and no listing problems that would stop a mortgage. You'll see fewer Pursues, and each one has been checked harder.

About
Viewpoint occupies a superb position approximately 500 metres from the Blue Flag award winning sandy beaches of Alum Chine and Branksome Dene, reached via a footpath with direct access from the communal gardens.
This bright and light two-bedroom (both ensuite) apartment is positioned on the fourth floor and enjoys a large south facing balcony and far reaching views and sea glimpses.
Its unique and highly desirable feature is the communal outdoor heated swimming pool (seasonal).
AGENT’S COMMENT: “With a larger than average footprint for a 2 bed, this apartment would suit anyone wanting to be close to the beach without compromising on space.
It works just as well as a main home as it does a second home, with its south facing balcony letting in lots of natural light, fabulous swimming pool and Westbourne all close by.” ABOUT THIS PROPERTY: Occupying a fourth-floor position with access via lift or stairs, the apartment offers a spacious and light-filled living / dining room with large side windows and sliding doors opening onto the southerly balcony that stretches the full width of the apartment, creating an ideal space for relaxing or entertaining.
There are panoramic far reaching views from all principle rooms including the kitchen, living/dining area, main bedroom and balcony, some extending towards the Purbeck Hills in the one direction and the sea in the other.
The separate modern kitchen is well-appointed with a range of fitted units and integrated appliances.
The generous principal bedroom benefits from a southerly aspect with fitted wardrobes and an ensuite bathroom, while the second double bedroom also has its own ensuite.
Additional features include an airing cupboard and a separate utility room with appliances included.
The current owners have further enhanced the apartment with new fire doors, two replacement windows to the main bedroom and a new WC in the second ensuite.
The property also benefits from an allocated underground parking space, with lift access directly from the parking area to the fourth floor, together with plenty of visitor parking.
OUTSIDE: This apartment enjoys far-reaching views towards the Purbeck Hills in one direction and towards Bournemouth in the other, with sea glimpses between the neighbouring properties.
The beautifully maintained communal gardens feature a private gate providing direct access to a public footpath leading to the beach and promenade.
A particular highlight is the seasonal use of the superb communal heated swimming pool, a rare feature for an apartment at this price point.
LOCATION: Situated just 480 metres from the award-winning Blue Flag beach at Alum Chine, the property is also within 0.9 mile of vibrant Westbourne Village, renowned for its independent shops, cafés and restaurants.
The Bournemouth and 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.
Excellent golf courses, marinas and water sports facilities are all close by.
