Set just moments from the River Stour and under a mile from Hengistbury Head’s beaches, this substantial five-bedroom detached home gives a family plenty of space and a strong coastal lifestyle. At about 2,194 sq ft across three floors the house offers large reception rooms, a 23ft kitchen/breakfast room and a secluded rear garden that catches sun for much of the day.
The layout is flexible for growing families: a ground-floor dining room and lounge with French doors to the garden, four bedrooms on the first floor including a 16ft principal with en‑suite, and a converted roof room serving as a fifth bedroom or playroom. Practical extras include an attached garage, driveway parking for several cars, useful loft storage and nearby schools rated Good to Outstanding.
There are clear opportunities to update and personalise. The property has partial double glazing (installation date unknown) and an EPC rated D (55), so replacement windows or energy improvements would be sensible investments. The house appears to be largely original to the 1900–1929 era and would reward internal modernisation or extension subject to planning.
Buyers should note running costs and taxes are above average for this band; the home is freehold and in a very low-crime, affluent neighbourhood. For a family seeking space, excellent local schools and immediate access to riverside and coastal amenities, this home combines size and location with room to add long‑term value.
