A fabulous detached character house occupying a generous wide corner plot in the heart of highly sought-after Hengistbury Head, featuring the rarely available benefit of a substantial double garage. The property offers spacious and versatile accommodation, including a triple-aspect 21ft reception room, kitchen/breakfast room, separate utility room and a useful ground floor double bedroom with en-suite shower room. Upstairs are two further double bedrooms, a family bathroom and an impressive vaulted landing. Ideally positioned close to the popular St Katharine's School and within easy walking distance of picturesque walks along the River Stour and the stunning beaches and nature reserve at Hengistbury Head. The property is offered with no onward chain, making an early viewing essential.
On entering, the welcoming hallway features an impressive vaulted ceiling and turning staircase. To the left is the bright and spacious triple-aspect 21ft reception room, featuring a wood-burning stove, front bay window and sliding patio doors opening onto the rear garden.

An internal door from the utility room leads directly into the impressive 19ft x 15ft double garage. This is a particularly valuable feature and offers excellent potential for conversion into additional living space or annex-style accommodation, subject to the necessary planning consents. The garage also benefits from loft space, providing further useful storage or potential for conversion.
A gravel driveway provides off-road parking for several vehicles. Further benefits include double glazing and gas central heating.
Outside, the property enjoys attractive wrap-around gardens extending to all sides, providing a high degree of privacy and seclusion. The gardens enjoy a lovely sunny aspect and offer plenty of space for outdoor entertaining and relaxation.
