About this home
An exceptional detached character home occupying a generous plot in one of Bournemouth’s most sought-after residential roads, within easy reach of Bournemouth Town Centre, local amenities and the area’s award-winning sandy beaches. Offering approximately 2,894 sq. ft of accommodation, the property is rich in character and provides particularly versatile living space arranged over three floors, with five bedrooms, three reception areas, a conservatory and detached garage. A rare opportunity to acquire a substantial and characterful detached home in a highly desirable Bournemouth location, combining impressive room proportions, flexible accommodation and a wealth of period appeal. On entering the property through an enclosed porch, a welcoming entrance hall immediately sets the tone for the character found throughout the home, with a staircase rising to the upper floors and access to the principal ground-floor accommodation. To the front of the house are two impressive reception rooms. The sitting room is a particularly attractive space, featuring a large bay window which provides excellent natural light, with double doors opening into a second reception room offering generous proportions and excellent flexibility as a formal lounge or family room. To the rear of the home is a modern kitchen and dining room, providing an excellent everyday living and entertaining space. The kitchen offers a comprehensive range of storage and work surfaces, with ample room for dining and a connection through to the substantial conservatory. Measuring approximately 26'3" in length, the conservatory provides a superb additional reception space overlooking and opening onto the rear garden. Completing the ground floor accommodation is a beautifully fitted bathroom with WC and hand wash basin. The first floor continues to offer excellent proportions, with four generous double bedrooms, including two particularly impressive bay-fronted rooms with feature fireplaces, together with the family shower room and additional separate WC. A staircase rises to the second floor where a further double bedroom is located, along with two useful storerooms which could also be utilised as bedrooms. This upper floor offers considerable versatility and could work particularly well as a principal bedroom suite, guest accommodation or a more private space for an older child, subject to individual requirements. Externally, the property occupies a generous plot, with established gardens providing an attractive setting for a home of this character. To the rear, the garden offers excellent space for outdoor entertaining and family use, with mature planting and established borders. To the front, a generous driveway provides ample off-road parking and leads to a detached garage, offering additional parking and useful storage.
