Set on a generous corner plot in the conservation area of Talbot Woods, this 1930s detached house offers circa 3,400 sq ft of character-filled accommodation across multiple reception rooms and five double bedrooms. Mature, private gardens wrap around the property, with a sweeping driveway, oversized garage and ample off‑road parking — strong outdoor amenity for family life and entertaining.
The house retains many original features: high ceilings, leaded and stained glass, panelled doors, decorative fireplaces and an impressive entrance hall. Ground-floor layout includes five reception rooms and a studio space with vaulted ceiling and annex potential, providing flexible living, home-office or multi‑generational use.
The property requires thorough modernisation throughout: kitchen, bathroom provision and general decoration/updating are needed. There is only one main bathroom on the first floor and a basic ground-floor shower/utility provision. Buyers should allow for renovation costs and possible works to services and finishes to realise the home’s full potential.
Rarely available in this sought-after location, the house is freehold and offered chain free — attractive for buyers who want to move quickly and remodel to their specification. Proximity to several independent schools, good secondary options and Bournemouth’s amenities adds practical appeal for families.
This is a strong proposition for purchasers seeking a substantial period home with significant garden privacy and scope to create a long-term family residence or a refurbished high-value property subject to planning and consent where required.
