This attractive Edwardian semi-detached house has been in the same family for 18 years and offers generous, characterful living arranged over multiple floors — ideal for families seeking space close to good schools and transport links. High ceilings, bay windows and original fireplaces give the reception rooms period charm, while an open-plan lounge/diner and a large fitted kitchen provide practical everyday living.
Three double bedrooms sit on the first floor, with the main bedroom benefitting from a walk-in dressing room that is plumbed and ready to be converted into an en-suite if required. The house has double glazing and mains gas central heating, and the single family bathroom retains character fixtures; families should note there is only one bathroom.
Externally the long, secluded c.100ft rear garden is a standout feature: mainly lawn with low-maintenance beds, decked seating and a contemporary garden room with bifold doors, isolated electricity, and multiple internet connections — a flexible workspace, playroom or studio. The enclosed front garden has established planting, including a cherry tree and wisteria.
Practical notes: the property was built circa 1900–1929 with cavity walls assumed to have no insulation, and the double glazing predates 2002 — modest energy upgrades could reduce running costs. The location offers walking access to Parkstone station, short drives to Bournemouth and Poole centres and award‑winning beaches, and sits within desirable local school catchments. Crime levels in the immediate area are above average, which buyers should consider alongside the house’s many positives.
