Description

This spacious four/five bedroom detached character residence presents a rare opportunity for renovation and investment within a sought-after area close to Bournemouth Town Centre and its acclaimed sandy beaches. Having been cherished by the same family for over four decades, the property retains numerous original features, creating a foundation for modern updates and personalization. The home includes two reception areas, an open-plan kitchen/dining space, and three bathrooms, alongside a generous south-facing garden that invites outdoor enhancements. Upon entry, an enclosed porch with storage leads to a welcoming hallway granting access to the ground floor. The large front reception room or potential ground-floor bedroom benefits from dual-aspect views, while a separate living room with a bay window overlooks the expansive rear garden. The kitchen/dining area provides direct access to this outdoor space and comes equipped with additional utilities such as a utility room and pantry. The first floor features an impressive landing illuminated by a glass feature window, leading to four spacious bedrooms serviced by a family bathroom and two en-suites. Particularly notable are the large double rooms in the front and rear of the house, each with en-suite facilities. Additionally, the loft space offers significant potential for further development subject to obtaining planning permissions. Set on substantial grounds, the property also boasts ample off-road parking via a front carriage driveway that leads to an attached garage. This home is primed for those looking to invest in an outstanding location while crafting their ideal living space.
