Sobo Loft sits on the top floor of a recently renovated Victorian building on Church Road Southbourne, only a short walk to the beach — and benefits from lots of natural light, ample room sizes, and a smart interior — creating a bright and airy space to unwind in. The property welcomes you through into a hallway with wood flooring, white and organic tones at eye-level, and a sophisticated finish throughout. The first of the two bright bedrooms is a large room and has a super comfortable kingsize bed with soft finish headboard, and lots of storage, including bedside cabinets with lamps, two substantial triple wardrobes, and a double chest of drawers unit with an elegant mirror on top. There’s also a vertical heater & fan, smart flat screen TV, and a corner window with venetian blinds. The smaller second bedroom contains twin singles, which can be zipped together to make a king. The furniture pieces have ample storage space for belongings and include a triple wardrobe, a chest of drawers, and bedside cabinets. There’s also lovely soft silver grey carpets underfoot, and a skylight in the eves. Also off the main hallway is a modern family shower room finished in dark stone tones, with a substantial walk-in shower with rainfall head and separate handheld head, wall hung toilet, vanity unit with soft-close drawers, heated illuminated mirror, and a heated towel rail. The main open plan living and dining space has contemporary qualities in the kitchen and dining spaces, and exudes comfort and cosiness in the lounge end — complete with modular sofas, a coffee table, side table with board games, and a wall hung smart TV. The kitchen comes fully integrated with a fridge freezer, electric oven, microwave, washer dryer, and dishwasher; whilst on the countertop there’s a gas hob and various small appliances including a Nespresso machine, milk frother, toaster, and kettle. In the storage cupboards and drawers are plenty of cookware, dinnerware, utensils and glassware for home dining. The modern slate grey dining table has four dining chairs, plus a highchair. One travel cot and high chair are available for use for babies and toddlers (and for families of 5). There’s free high speed Wi-Fi throughout. There’s also a hairdryer in each of the bedrooms, an iron & board, clothes drying rack, wireless hoover, and a telephone intercom system. There’s one private allocated parking bay for the apartment at the front of the building to utilise for your stay. Please note: as this property is on the top floor of a 3 storey building, and without any lifts, those with mobility concerns may find the stairs up to the apartment challenging. About the Area: Laidback Southbourne is a pleasant escape from the business of Bournemouth down the road, and is ideally located for many other Dorset coastal attractions too. Hengistbury Head, Mudeford, Avon, and Highcliffe beaches lie to the east, and the beaches of Boscombe, Bournemouth, Sandbanks, and the legendary Jurassic Coast — to the west. The Southbourne Grove area, with its many shops, bars and eateries, is within easy reach. The coastline at Southbourne is a 5-minute walk from the apartment. The beach is Blue Flag awarded for cleanliness and is long and wide, perfect for families and the ideal place to spend the day, year round. There’s also lifeguards during peak season for safety, and a few eateries dotted along. There are some gorgeous walks along the promenade, whichever way you choose. Hengistbury Head nature reserve is accessible on foot or bikes, and makes for a great day out direct from the apartment — if you continue around this headland it leads you to Mudeford Sandspit and its iconic beach huts. Mudeford sandspit can also be accessed via ferry from the Avon Beach Mudeford Car Park. To the north-east of the apartment, The New Forest is fairly close by — with its gorgeous towns and villages dotted throughout, and incredible scenery and wildlife. Lymington Town runs its own weekly Saturday market along its long high street and is well worth a visit. Christchurch is another historic coastal town and lovely area to explore. Heading west from SOBO Beach takes you to the cliffs at Boscombe Beach and to the many famous seafronts at Bournemouth. Further west is the upmarket Sandbanks, with its stunning sandy beach. A car ferry from here takes you to Studland — showcasing an incredible wild bay stretching miles to Swanage — and providing easy access to the beautiful Isle of Purbeck peninsula and Corfe Castle. RSPB Arne and Poole Harbour are further attractions in this area. Continuing along Dorset is the incredible Jurassic Coast stretching West from Swanage. ## Property amenities ### Internet - Available in the apartment: WiFi ### Parking and transport - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Hob - Microwave - Oven - Refrigerator - Toaster ### Bedrooms - 2 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 1 bathroom - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Living room - Separate dining area ### Entertainment - TV ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Comfort - Heating ### Pets - No pets allowed ### Suitability/Accessibility - If you have requests for specific accessibility needs, please contact the property using the information on the reservation confirmation received after booking. - Upper floors accessible by stairs only - Smoke-free property ### Services and conveniences - Housekeeping (on request) - Iron/ironing board ### Location highlights - Near the sea ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector (host has indicated there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) - Fire extinguisher ### General - Double-glazed windows - Housekeeping (on request) - Recycling - Unit size: 700 square feet ## Similar properties ![Beach nearby](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/93000000/92060000/92050400/92050357/4b0fd19d.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Light airy 3 bed Town Cntr flat 700m to Bournemouth Beach Bournemouth City Centre - Kitchen - Parking available - Fireplace [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-12-30&endDate=2025-12-31&selected=92050357&PinnedHotelID=92050357&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![TV](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/118000000/117130000/117124700/117124616/443815b6.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Anchors Aweigh!
