Description
This seven-bedroom detached former guest house is situated within walking distance of Poole town centre, the railway station and local bus and coach links. Arranged over two floors, the accommodation includes a sitting room with a Purbeck stone fireplace and French doors to the rear patio, a separate dining room, kitchen, utility area, cloakroom and store. Two bedrooms are on the ground floor, both with en-suite facilities, with five further bedrooms upstairs, several also having en-suites.
The property is offered as a substantial home with scope for modernisation and reconfiguration to suit a purchaser's needs. Its previous guest-house use may offer another direction, subject to any necessary consents. Outside, the rear garden has paved and raised patio areas, lawn and a pond. A front driveway provides off-road parking, and a side drive leads to an oversized single garage with power and lighting. The property is freehold.

54out of 100
Grade DWeak opportunity
Confidence: LOW
This is a substantial seven-bedroom former guest house with a flexible layout, private garden, driveway and oversized single garage, close to Poole town centre and transport links. The dated finishes across several rooms give a buyer a clear canvas to modernise, with the kitchen and photographed shower rooms among the more obvious upgrade opportunities. The renovation range is £55,000–£95,000, so the project has meaningful scope while the photographed property appears generally intact, with no obvious major structural failure.
Key opportunities
- Modernise the dated decoration and flooring across several rooms to refresh the substantial accommodation.
- Update the older-style kitchen and photographed shower rooms as part of a broader improvement plan.
- Make the most of the flexible former guest-house layout, private garden, driveway and oversized garage.
Key risks
- The driveway surface is cracked and weathered, while some paving and garden timber structures also show age.
