This substantial 1930s detached house sits on a sunny corner plot in popular Moordown, offering generous room proportions across two reception rooms and three double bedrooms — a practical family layout close to schools, shops and Moordown Recreation Ground. Recent major works in 2023 (new roof, new gas boiler, rewiring and new bathroom fittings) mean the house is largely move-in ready while retaining original character such as bay windows, decorative fireplaces and stained glass details.
Ground floor living is well balanced with a large lounge and separate dining room, plus a kitchen/breakfast room and cloakroom. Upstairs provides three double bedrooms and a fully refurbished Victorian-style bathroom; the spacious landing and useful under-stairs storage add everyday convenience. Outside there’s a gated, double-length driveway for tandem parking and a mature, private rear garden with a sunny aspect — good for children and outdoor entertaining.
Practical strengths include mostly PVCu double glazing, mains gas central heating with a new boiler (Jan 2023) and recent electrical work. The plot is decent for the area and there’s scope for modest extension or landscaping (subject to planning), which will appeal to buyers seeking long-term value in an affluent suburb.
Buyers should note this is a single-bathroom home, which may be limiting for larger households, and the property’s cavity walls were built without insulation (assumed) — further insulating works could be required to optimise energy efficiency. Overall this is a well-presented family house that combines character and contemporary upgrades in a convenient Bournemouth location.
