Description

This spacious detached home boasts four or five bedrooms and is located in a sought-after area close to Bournemouth Town Centre, pristine beaches, and excellent transport links. Having remained with the same family for over four decades, this property retains many charming original features while presenting ample opportunity for modernization and personal touch. The layout includes two reception rooms, an open-plan kitchen/dining area, three bath/shower rooms, and an inviting south-facing garden.

Upon entry through an enclosed porch with convenient storage, you'll find a welcoming hallway that accesses the main living areas. The front of the house offers a large reception room or potential ground-floor bedroom with dual-aspect windows. A separate living room at the rear benefits from a bay window overlooking the garden. The open-plan kitchen/dining space conveniently leads to the garden and is supplemented by a utility room, pantry, and cloakroom.

The first floor showcases an impressive landing with a glass feature window that guides you to four generously proportioned bedrooms. These are served by a family bathroom alongside two en-suite shower rooms. The primary bedroom and another double room both feature fitted wardrobes and benefit from desirable views toward the front and back respectively.

Additionally, there is significant potential in the spacious loft area for expansion (subject to planning permissions). The property is set on substantial grounds comprising mainly lawned areas in the south-facing rear garden as well as a front carriage driveway allowing for ample off-road parking leading to a garage.

This home represents an ideal project for buyers looking to create their own vision in a prime location.
