Description

This substantial detached residence presents a unique opportunity for buyers looking for a project with significant renovation and investment potential. Located in a tranquil cul-de-sac within Bournemouth's desirable East Cliff conservation area, the property currently functions as two self-contained apartments, making it an attractive option for those interested in rental income or conversion into a single-family home. Originally built in the 1930s, the house features a classic double bay front and boasts generous living space throughout. The ground floor apartment includes an entrance hallway leading to a spacious sitting/dining room, a kitchen/breakfast room with access to the rear garden, two double bedrooms, an en-suite shower room, a bathroom, utility room, and cloakroom. The first-floor apartment offers similar accommodations with three additional double bedrooms, enhancing its appeal for investors. The property is set on a generous plot with an in-and-out driveway that provides ample off-road parking for four to five vehicles and potential space for a garage. The secluded southwest-facing rear garden adds another layer of appeal with its mature trees and shrubs, perfect for outdoor enjoyment or further landscaping opportunities. Situated just a short walk from the cliffs and seven miles of sandy beaches, this location benefits from its proximity to Bournemouth town center and convenient transport links via road and rail to London. The surrounding tree-lined avenues offer pleasant strolls to both scenic views and local amenities. Properties like this are rare to market—this particular home has not been available since the 1970s—making it an exceptional find for discerning buyers. Offered chain-free and complete with freehold tenure, this residence invites you to explore its full potential while enjoying all that the East Cliff area has to offer.
