IT MUST be one of the largest plots in Southbourne. Now Oaklands, in Foxholes Road, has come on the market for the first time in over 30 years.

The detached character home has rooms over three floors, including bedrooms and a bathroom in the attic.

But it's the outdoors which will attract interest, as agents Slades claim it occupies what must be one of the area’s largest plots.

"It's exceptionally large for the Southbourne area and the stunning gardens offer something for all the family; expansive lawns, secluded seating areas, a vegetable plot, summerhouse and a large oak tree which is perfectly placed to hang a rope swing or similar," said a spokesman.

Oaklands is on the market with Slades of Southbourne. for more information contact 01202 428555.
