Spacious period family home with practical outdoor space and easy access to Bournemouth town and beaches. The house offers four bedrooms, two reception rooms and generous driveway parking with a sizable detached garage — useful for cars, storage or a workshop. Large bay windows and French doors bring light into principal rooms, and the wrap-around garden gives privacy for children and pets.
Important practical details: the property dates from the early 20th century with cavity walls likely uninsulated, so energy-efficiency improvements will be needed. Double glazing was fitted after 2002, and heating runs via a mains gas community scheme — useful, but check running costs and controls. Council tax is above average for the area.
Location is convenient for families: several well-rated primary and secondary schools nearby, Meyrick Park green space and a short walk to the town centre and transport interchange. However, the immediate neighbourhood records higher crime levels and sits within a more deprived wider area; buyers should weigh local amenities against this context.
This detached house will suit buyers seeking a roomy period property with parking and garden, willing to invest in insulation, modernisation and ongoing running-cost checks. It presents clear scope to improve energy performance and personalise interiors while benefiting from a strong local location.
