Set on a tree-lined avenue close to Queens Park, this five-bedroom detached family home blends original mid-20th-century character with practical modern additions. High ceilings, large bay windows and feature fireplaces give the principal reception rooms real presence, while an 18ft kitchen/diner and 2021 conservatory create family and entertaining space that opens onto a sunny, tiered rear garden of about 72ft.
Practical benefits include driveway parking for two cars, a fully insulated workshop/outbuilding with power and light, a ground-floor WC, and three versatile loft rooms with skylights plus a separate shower room on the top floor. The property sits within strong school catchments (including selective grammar options) and has good transport links into Bournemouth town centre.
There are a few maintenance and layout points to note. The exterior and some garden areas require upkeep, and the house provides two main bathrooms (family bathroom plus shower room) for five bedrooms, which may be tight for larger families. The loft rooms have skylights and useful floor area but limited headroom in parts, so their use may be best suited to offices, hobbies or occasional bedrooms.
Overall this is a characterful, flexible family home on a large elevated plot with clear potential — the outbuilding and tiered garden expand usable space for home working, hobbies or entertaining. Buyers seeking straightforward move-in will value the recent window and conservatory replacements; those wanting fully modernised layouts should factor in some targeted updating and external maintenance.
