Description

This spacious four to five-bedroom detached family home boasts significant character and stands in a sought-after location close to Bournemouth's town center, renowned beaches, and convenient transport links. Having been owned by the same family for over 40 years, the property still retains numerous original features while presenting a valuable opportunity for modernization and enhancement. The layout includes two reception rooms, an open-plan kitchen/dining area, and three bath/shower rooms, complemented by a generous south-facing garden. Upon entry, you are greeted by an enclosed porch leading into a welcoming hallway that accesses the extensive ground floor. The front of the house features a large reception room or potential fifth bedroom with dual-aspect windows, while a separate living room with a bay window overlooks the expansive rear garden. The open-plan kitchen/dining space offers direct access to the garden and is accompanied by convenient utility and pantry areas alongside a cloakroom. The first floor showcases an impressive landing illuminated by a glass feature window, leading to four spacious bedrooms served by a family bathroom and two en-suites. Notably, the master bedroom benefits from built-in wardrobes and en-suite facilities. The loft area presents an additional opportunity for development, pending necessary planning approvals. With ample grounds including a mainly lawned rear garden and a front carriage driveway providing substantial off-road parking leading to the garage, this property promises considerable potential for refurbishment and expansion.
