About this property

A brand new, contemporary, ground-floor apartment and surfer's paradise, sits a literal stone's throw from the beach in the vibrant seaside town of Southbourne. Enjoying a close situation to Christchurch, Bournemouth and Poole, Mary Bowes Terrace offers an excellent escape for up to four guests. Upon arrival you are greeted by a designated parking space directly outside the front door, so you can easily unload your belongings and take advantage of the convenient shared storage room which is just perfect for storing those surf boards. Step into the open-plan living space, uplifted by natural lighting from the sliding doors, this is the social hub of the home where all can gather and reflect on the day's events. Cross over to the kitchen, where you can switch the hob on and get to work on a hearty dish, serving the fruits of your labour at the dining table. After a filling supper, collapse on the sofa and decide on a film to watch on the 4k Smart TV. The bedrooms include a double and a twin with zip/link beds for added flexibility. Awaken from a leisurely slumber and start the morning with a refreshing rinse in the bathroom, before heading to a nearby convenience store and grabbing the essentials for a hearty breakfast. Remember to pack your beach bag as just 100 yards away lies seven miles of award-winning, family-friendly Blue Flag Beaches, offering all kinds of watersports including paddleboarding, kayaking and surfing. Southbourne is a vibrant costal town, packed with eateries, bars and essential convenience stores for all of your needs. Mary Bowes terrace is just a short walk from the busy high street, whilst maintaining easy access to the main roads to Bournemouth and further west along the Jurassic coast. This southern gem is also accessible to the South Western railway line from central London at Pokesdown station, a simple drive from Mary Bowes Terrace. Southbourne beach is easily accessible, just a short walk from the property. Before you head down, the over cliff boasts a luxurious bird's eye view of 7 miles of beautiful coast line. A little further East, Boscombe Pier is the perfect vantage point for watching surfers, partaking in your own water sports or grabbing a bite and a drink from a choice of high quality bars and restaurants on the sea front. Christchurch is another historic town to visit with award-winning beaches, coastal nature reserve and heritage attractions including Christchurch Castle ruins and Christchurch Priory. The New Forest is well within a driving distance (10-15 mins) as well as the prestigious Lulworth cove and Durdle door a slightly further stretch (45-60 mins). Arguably the finest attractions on the Jurassic coast! The city of Bournemouth can’t be missed, home to a great nightlife scene with many bars, comedy clubs, theatres, casinos and plenty of spots to catch live music. Box off the attractions of this seaside location with a stay at Mary Bowes Terrace.

A short distance from the centre of Bournemouth, the Bournemouth suburb of Southbourne has its own sandy beach and neighbourhood amenities. Along with a Post Office, gift shops, and cafes, it's a wonderful place to find independent stores and boutiques. A funicular railway called the Fisherman's Walk Cliff Railway connects the promenade and beach area to the coastal road. Every season, nearby Bournemouth has something to offer everyone. Seven miles of golden, Blue Flag-certified beaches, a variety of watersports, boat tours, and breathtaking gardens will keep you occupied all day. Or why not browse the town's bustling retail district, which has a wide variety of specialty and curiosity stores.

    ) Having easy access to car park via patio door was a real bonus for my octogenarian parents too. Location was excellent - we visited Poole (highly recommend the pub for fish lunch), Christchurch, Wimborne, Ringwood etc - all within short drives. If I can make a positive observation, I think a few more instructions in the “manual” would be a good addition. Especially relating to heating (manual/automatic settings etc), TV (we struggled to get terrestrial Live TV, but eventually found ITV via ITVX), recycling eg glass? What to do ref linen - ie strip beds or not?

    Felt very clean and comfortable and the little added extras were very thoughtful. Fab location to beach and also high street is a walkable distance for shopping, eating etc. would definitely stay here again.

    As we love walking its in such an ideal place right by the coastal path to Boscombe, Bournemouth and Sandbanks, also close to a very good bus route to Poole and Christchurch. The weather was lovely although the temperatures were very low but the home had a lovely heating system and we were never cold. Will definitely go back again.
