Set on Wolverton Road and close to Boscombe and Southbourne high streets, this Victorian semi offers generous family accommodation across three floors. The house has four double bedrooms, two bathrooms and two reception rooms that can be opened up to create a larger ground-floor living space. A small driveway and private rear garden with side access add practical outdoor space.
The property retains period character — bay windows, high ceilings and a fireplace — but requires renovation and updating throughout. Heating is currently by portable electric heaters in many rooms, walls are cavity construction assumed without insulation, and the EPC is D. These factors present clear upgrade tasks and running-cost considerations.
Good local schools, easy access to train and bus stations, and award-winning beaches make the location appealing for families. The house is offered freehold and chain-free, which simplifies purchase and lets a buyer begin works and improvements promptly.
Note the area records higher crime levels and the property needs modernisation; buyers should budget for heating, insulation and general refurbishment work. For those seeking a character home with scope to add value, this presents a solid renovation opportunity in a well-connected coastal suburb.
