Description

This detached former Coach House offers four bedrooms, two bathrooms and two reception rooms across approximately 2,000 sq ft. Built around a century ago, it sits on a secluded plot approaching half an acre, around half a mile from Ferndown town centre. The property is offered with no onward chain and has scope for alteration or enlargement, subject to the necessary permissions. The ground floor includes an entrance hall, cloakroom, dual-aspect lounge with an exposed brick fireplace, and a separate dining room with fitted shelving and a panelled ceiling. A large kitchen and breakfast room has fitted units, integrated appliances, space for dining and seating, and doors opening to the drive and garden. Upstairs are four bedrooms, including a principal bedroom with a dressing area, fitted wardrobes, balcony and en-suite bathroom. A further family bathroom serves the other bedrooms. Outside, a long driveway leads to a detached double garage with light and power. The gardens include lawns, mature planting, paths, a pond, greenhouses, a summer house and a paved patio. A section of the initial driveway is outside the property title, with established rights of access and services; buyers should review the title information and details supplied by the agent. The property has double glazing and oil-fired heating, which, along with the appliances and services, has not been tested by the agent. Hearnes Estate Agents in Ferndown are marketing the property.

61out of 100
Grade CPotential opportunity

Confidence: MEDIUM

This detached former Coach House has a distinctive setting: a secluded plot approaching half an acre, with mature gardens, a pond, greenhouse structures, patio and a detached double garage. At £750,000, it is around 4.5% below the local average on a £/sq ft basis, which is a positive for value; the overall opportunity is more measured, with only a modest 3.1% margin against the implied current local average after the renovation midpoint, before fees and other costs.

Inside, the house appears usable but offers clear scope for a light cosmetic refresh, with older carpets, colours and finishes, including a large kitchen/breakfast room and traditional bathrooms. The estimated works range is £6,000–£18,000. Its generous layout and garden give the project character, while any enlargement would depend on planning permission and feasibility.

Key opportunities

  • Refresh the dated carpets, wall finishes and traditional interiors through a light cosmetic project.
  • Make the most of the secluded, nearly half-acre garden, with its mature planting, pond, greenhouse structures and patio.
  • Enjoy the distinctive former Coach House character, including the high-ceilinged lounge, exposed brick fireplace and balcony overlooking the gardens.
