This ground floor apartment is set within Dean Lodge, a recently constructed retirement development built by Churchill occupying a superb position fronting Southbourne overcliff drive. The property offers very spacious accommodation and being set on the ground floor benefits from access on to a large private wrap around patio which then leads on to the exceptionally well presented communal gardens.
