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
This recently built detached home is presented in immaculate condition and offers a super Kitchen/Breakfast room, separate Living room and three double bedrooms.
Set on a generous corner plot and with our sellers suited, an internal inspection is a must!
Built in recent years, this wonderful family home is presented in show-room condition, having been used by our clients during their ownership as a second home.
Situated on a sought after road in the heart of Southbourne, the property is conveniently positioned for local shops, bus links into Bournemouth, Poole and Christchurch and is within walking distance to both Southbourne Grove and Iford meadows with its playing fields and river walks.
Being only 4 years old, the house, as you would expect, benefits from modern fixtures and fittings, with a Leicht kitchen and Bosch appliances, underfloor heating and an EV charging point.
The house is perfectly designed for everyday family living, with a great sized Kitchen/Breakfast room offering open-plan living and Bi-fold doors onto the wrap around private garden, a separate living room, ground floor WC and utility whilst upstairs three double bedrooms are served by a modern family bathroom.
Externally, there is parking to the front of the house for a couple of cars whilst the wrap-around garden is a generous size, offers a good degree of privacy and is predominantly laid to lawn with a limestone patio area for al-fresco dining.
With recently built houses scarcely available in BH6 at this price point, we expect interest to be high and therefore strongly recommend an early inspection to avoid disappointment!
