The house is presented in excellent condition and requires no fundamental reconfiguration to be enjoyed. Six bedrooms, three bathrooms, two cloakrooms, three substantial reception rooms and two dedicated offices provide considerable flexibility for family life, entertaining and working from home. High ceilings, generous proportions and abundant natural light create a strong sense of space throughout. The impressive kitchen breakfast room forms the heart of the home, centred around a substantial island and complemented by ample worktops and integrated appliances. This leads through to a light-filled orangery opening directly onto the surrounding gardens. Additional features include a walk-in pantry, dedicated utility and laundry facilities plus a basement providing secure, lockable storage. Period character is complemented by considered modern finishes, including hardwood flooring, high-quality carpets sourced through Harrods, premium kitchen and laundry appliances and a magnificent galleried landing illuminated by an original stained-glass window. OUTSIDE The grounds are one of Rossgarth’s defining features. Approached through electric gates, the sweeping carriage driveway provides parking for many vehicles together with the detached garage. The established wraparound gardens are enclosed by mature trees, creating a remarkable degree of privacy. Expansive lawns, landscaped borders, an ornamental fish pond, veranda and sun terraces provide a variety of spaces for outdoor dining, entertaining and relaxation. Despite its proximity to central Bournemouth, the setting is remarkably private and tranquil. LOCATION Rossgarth occupies a highly desirable position directly opposite the entrance to Meyrick Park, within one of Bournemouth’s most established residential areas and the Meyrick Park Conservation Area. Meyrick Park provides an immediate green setting, together with its golf course and health club, whilst Bournemouth town centre and the award-winning beaches are within easy reach. Bournemouth Railway Station is approximately 0.7 miles away, with direct services to London Waterloo, Southampton Central, and Winchester. The West Hants Club, Nuffield private hospital, highly regarded schools and a wide selection of restaurants, shops and everyday amenities are also within close proximity. EPC Rating: D GRANTED PLANNING PERMISSION & FUTURE POTENTIAL A further dimension is provided by granted planning permission relating to the detached garage and elements of the principal residence. The approved scheme includes the conversion of the existing detached garage into additional residential accommodation, together with approved alterations to elements of the main house to facilitate a more contemporary open-plan living arrangement. The planning permission provides a future owner with genuine flexibility. Rossgarth can be enjoyed immediately as the substantial period residence it is today, whilst the approved proposals offer the opportunity to evolve the accommodation over time. The accompanying architectural CGI illustrations demonstrate one possible contemporary interpretation of the proposals, including a versatile one-bedroom detached space which could lend itself to guest accommodation, multigenerational living, a home office or studio, gym or other appropriate use, subject to the terms and conditions of the consent. Importantly, the planning permission is an opportunity rather than a requirement. The existing residence remains a complete and highly functional family home in its own right, allowing a purchaser to retain its character and enjoy it immediately, whilst having the option to consider a different configuration in the future. Approved planning drawings and CGI illustrations are included in the brochure.
