This is a very rare opportunity to purchase a purpose built detached chalet style home set with a small and quiet road within the residential area of Boscombe East, a popular location which gives easy access to nearby wide open spaces at Kings Park, a range of leisure facilities such as The Open Golf Course, The Village and Littledown sports centres, and an array of large local employers such as JP Morgan and The Royal Bournemouth Hospital. Local shopping facilities and bus routes are close by with nearby road and rail links leading further afield.
Occupying a large corner plot in an elevated position the property affords superb gardens and from the first floor accommodation benefits from a lovely elevated view which stretches over roof tops towards the Stour valley, Christchurch Priory and beyond.
Having been a long term family home the property is available for sale for the first time since 1965 and is presented in clean and tidy order throughout although would now benefit from some modernisation. The sizeable plot gives plenty of potential for further extension (subject to planning permission) and in our opinion a large eaves space to the first floor also gives scope for further development on the first floor. The property would therefore be ideal for purchasers looking to personalise or a larger extension project.
The ground floor is served by a covered storm porch and hallway which leads to a ground floor double bedroom, family bathroom, kitchen and Lounge. A dining room being located between, and accessible from both the kitchen and lounge. The hallway, bedroom and lounge all have the original parquet flooring beneath carpets.
Stairs lead from the hallway to a spacious first floor landing which features a lovely elevated view over roof tops stretching over to Christchurch and beyond. Doors then lead off to a second double bedroom which also features this lovely view, a WC and third bedroom. The third bedroom giving access to a large eaves storage area which could potentially be further developed (STPP).
Outside lovely mature gardens wrap around the property and are enclosed by low level walling and hedgerow giving a degree of seclusion. An area of formal rear garden measuring approximately 65' x 30' (19.81m x 9.14m) immediately abuts the lounge and dining room and is further enclosed by a privacy wall, this area comprising of lawn and patio with a range of mature borders. A driveway to the rear provides off road parking and gives access to a detached garage measuring 19'11 x 9'9 (6.07m x 2.97m) internally.
