The Pines

About this property

The Pines is a welcoming first-floor apartment resting in Bournemouth, Dorset, in an enviable position overlooking the park and coastline near Durley Chine. Set within an elegant Victorian building dating from around 1860, this inviting seaside retreat welcomes families and friends seeking days by the shore, scenic walks and time spent exploring one of Dorset's most loved coastal destinations. With sea views, a conservatory and the beach just a short stroll away, The Pines provides a wonderful base for a memorable escape. Arrive and make use of your designated parking space before stepping into the exclusive grounds surrounding the apartment. The handsome Victorian architecture creates an immediate sense of character, while glimpses of the sea and surrounding greenery hint at the enviable setting awaiting inside.

Head up to the first floor and discover bright, generously proportioned living spaces designed to make the most of the coastal outlook. Start your stay in the lounge/diner, where large windows frame views towards the sea, inviting you to settle into the sofa with a favourite film on the Smart TV or gather together to plan the adventures ahead. When mealtimes call, the well-equipped kitchen provides everything needed to prepare family favourites, while the aroma of fresh coffee and breakfast pastries fills the apartment before a day beside the shore. From here, wander into the conservatory, undoubtedly one of the highlights of the home.

Bathed in natural light and enjoying panoramic views across the park and coastline, it is the perfect spot to linger over a morning coffee, lose yourself in a good book, or watch the changing colours of the sea as the day unfolds. As evening arrives, retire to the two delightful bedrooms. The principal double bedroom enjoys particularly impressive sea and park views, allowing you to wake each morning to a wonderful coastal backdrop, while a Smart TV offers relaxed viewing before bed. The twin bedroom provides a welcoming space to unwind after days spent exploring the Dorset coast. Completing the apartment is a shower room with a spacious walk-in shower, ideal for freshening up after sandy beach walks and sea air.

Beyond the apartment, the beach can be reached within a gentle stroll, whilst shops, cafés and pubs are conveniently close by for everyday essentials and leisurely meals out. Bournemouth itself offers plenty to discover, from the iconic Bournemouth Pier where you can enjoy sea views stretching along the coast, to the beautifully landscaped Lower Gardens that weave through the town centre, and the bustling seafront lined with cafés and restaurants. Nearby Poole is well worth visiting, home to the vast natural harbour, the golden sands and striking scenery of Sandbanks, and the charming quayside where waterfront dining and boat trips await.

Head to Christchurch to explore the historic Christchurch Priory, enjoy riverside walks around Christchurch Quay, and take in the dramatic coastal scenery and wildlife at Hengistbury Head. For memorable days out within easy reach, visit the New Forest National Park, where free-roaming ponies, ancient woodland walks and picturesque villages create a wonderful setting for exploration. The Jurassic Coast offers unforgettable scenery with highlights including the natural limestone arch of Durdle Door, the sheltered beauty of Lulworth Cove and spectacular clifftop walks overlooking the English Channel. Alternatively, venture to Corfe Castle, where the dramatic castle ruins overlook the Purbeck countryside, heritage steam trains journey through rolling landscapes, and traditional village streets provide a delightful glimpse into Dorset's rich history.

Combining Victorian charm, superb sea views and a sought-after setting close to Bournemouth's award-winning beachfront, The Pines is an excellent choice for a Dorset getaway to remember.

The vibrant Dorset seaside resort of Bournemouth offers something for everyone all year round. With seven miles of golden, award-winning, family friendly Blue Flag beaches, there are all kinds of watersports, boat trips and stunning gardens to keep you busy during the day.
