Description

This three-bedroom detached house presents a valuable opportunity in the heart of Christchurch Town Centre, ideal for those looking to invest in a property with significant renovation potential. Sold with no onward chain, it offers a canvas for transformative updates or extensions, subject to the usual planning permissions. Located on one of the most desirable streets in the area, this home benefits from off-road parking and an integral garage, making it practical for everyday living. The property’s position within Christchurch means you are just steps away from local amenities, including shops, cafés, bars, and restaurants. Its proximity to the historic 11th Century Priory and Town Quay adds to the appeal of the location. Additionally, being within the Twynham Catchment underscores its suitability for families seeking quality education options. The nearby Christchurch Mainline Railway Station provides convenient transport links. Inside, the layout consists of a welcoming entrance area that leads into two spacious reception rooms alongside a kitchen equipped with fitted base and eye-level units and a useful pantry cupboard. A utility room is conveniently located next to a ground floor cloakroom with WC and wash hand basin. Upstairs features three well-proportioned bedrooms complemented by a bathroom that includes essential fixtures like a WC and wash hand basin. The rear garden offers a manageable space primarily laid to lawn along with some mature borders and a section of patio—ideal for outdoor activities or future landscaping projects. Notably, planning permission has previously been granted to extend this dwelling into a four-bedroom family home, highlighting its potential for growth and enhancement. This freehold property carries council tax band E and represents not just a home but an investment opportunity in one of Christchurch’s most vibrant communities.
