Large Victorian family home with heated pool, lodge and excellent energy efficiency..
Six-bedroom detached character home on a large sunny plot
Set on a large plot in a sought-after school catchment, this substantial six-bedroom detached home combines period character with modern, energy-efficient upgrades. The house offers flexible living with four reception rooms, a separate utility and ground-floor WC — ideal for family life and entertaining. The private rear garden has a south-facing aspect, extensive sun terrace, heated swimming pool and a detached garden lodge suitable as a home gym, office or guest space.
Energy costs are likely low thanks to an EPC A rating, 23 solar panels, an 8kW battery and an air source heat pump alongside a gas boiler and radiators. Off-street parking is ample and both Bournemouth and Poole town centres are easily reached, making commutes and amenities straightforward. The property sits in an affluent, low-risk area with fast broadband and excellent mobile signal.
Practical points to note: the house dates from the early 20th century, so some period maintenance should be expected; the double glazing install date is unknown. Accommodation includes six bedrooms but only two bathrooms (one en-suite and one family bathroom), which may require adaptation for larger households. The heating system, mains and appliances have not been tested and any buyer should arrange professional inspection and surveys before committing.
