Description

This charming Victorian detached home, featuring four spacious bedrooms, is ripe for modernization and presents an excellent opportunity for investment. Owned by the same family for nearly five decades, the property boasts a substantial layout of approximately 1668 square feet and retains many original character elements that add to its allure. Nestled in the desirable Southbourne area, it includes three versatile reception rooms, a private garden, and off-road parking. The inviting entrance porch leads into a hallway with ample natural light filtering through side windows. The front-facing lounge is enhanced by a lovely bay window and a traditional fireplace, creating a cozy atmosphere. Two additional reception rooms offer flexibility; one gazes out onto the garden while another serves as a dining space with built-in storage. The kitchen is functional yet in need of modern touches, featuring base and eye-level units, an oven with grill, gas hob, and breakfast bar. An adjoining utility area provides further potential for reconfiguration or expansion with side access to both front and rear. On the first floor, the home comprises four bedrooms alongside a separate WC and a bathroom that features essential amenities but could benefit from contemporary upgrades. Notably, there are built-in storage solutions throughout. The external space includes a lawned garden bordered by mature shrubs and hedges along with a paved area suitable for outdoor seating. Off-road parking at the front enhances convenience while maintaining curb appeal. Located within close proximity to local shops on Southbourne Grove and just one mile from Southbourne beach, this property also enjoys excellent transport links via Pokesdown train station. This home is offered with no forward chain, making it an attractive prospect for those looking to create their dream residence in a sought-after location.
