Show more "Dean Lodge is a stunning development of 42 retirement apartments located directly on the Dorset coast in Southbourne.
The development is well located for the main shopping area of Southbourne, Southbourne Grove, a traditional high street with some independent and individual shops including a bakery, a greengrocer, two butchers, a florist, hairdressing salons, several cafes and a post office. Leading from the Southbourne Grove Shops to the cliff top is Fisherman's Walk, a Green Flag Award winning woodland walk with a nature trail, woodland flowers and shrubs, a formal walled garden with ornamental pond and a bandstand which is used for regular events that take place in the gardens throughout the year.
The Fisherman's Walk Cliff Railway, a funicular railway which runs between the cliff top coastal road and the promenade and the beach provides very easy access to Southbourne's Blue Flag beach from which it is possible to reach the beaches at Boscombe and Bournemouth." Show less
