Summary - 83 BOURNEMOUTH ROAD POOLE BH14 0ER
4 bed 2 bath Semi-Detached
Spacious Victorian family home with large south-facing garden and scope to extend..
Nearly 2,000 sqft of period living space
Set on a generous plot in Lower Parkstone, this nearly 2,000 sq ft Victorian semi-detached home combines substantial living space with many original period features. The property's galleried landing and impressive entrance hall create an immediate sense of scale and character, while high ceilings, sash-style windows and original fireplaces survive throughout. The ground floor offers flexible living: a south-facing sitting room, a study/bedroom five and a semi open-plan kitchen/dining area. A ground-floor shower room adds practicality.
Four large bedrooms and the family bathroom occupy the first floor, with clear scope to create further space by converting the loft (subject to consents). Outside, a large south-facing garden offers privacy and room for family recreation, plus a courtyard-style side garden ideal for al fresco dining. A garage and two to three off-street spaces provide useful parking; a double garage or garden cabin could be accommodated if required.
Location is a strong selling point: within walking distance of Courthill and Baden-Powell schools, Parkstone station (Waterloo link), local shops, Waitrose and a selection of eateries. Sandbanks beaches, marinas and the wider amenities of Poole and Bournemouth are a short drive away. Practical details: freehold tenure, double glazing installed post-2002, mains gas boiler and radiators, moderate council tax band and no flooding risk.
Notable considerations: the property retains many original fixtures but will suit buyers prepared to update kitchens/bathrooms to modern tastes. The house sits in an area with above-average recorded crime, which some buyers will want to investigate further. Overall, this is a character-rich family home with substantial external space and clear potential to personalise and extend.
