This Victorian four-bedroom detached house sits on a small plot in Parkstone, within the Courthill & Baden Powell school catchment and a short walk of Alexandra Park and local shops. The property retains period character including bay windows, high ceilings and a traditional layout with two reception rooms, and benefits from a southerly rear garden that catches the sun for much of the day.
The house is being sold chain-free and has been in the same family for over 100 years, making it an appealing long-term project for a growing family or buyers seeking a character home. The layout includes a porch, hallway, sitting room with bay window, separate dining room, fitted kitchen, downstairs bathroom and WC, plus four first-floor bedrooms (two doubles, two singles).
Important practical points: the property requires renovation throughout and is best suited to buyers prepared for a refurbishment project. There is only one bathroom, the overall internal size is modest (approx. 998 sq ft), and the area records above-average crime rates. Services are conventional (mains gas boiler and radiators, double glazing installed pre-2002) and broadband and mobile signal are strong.
If you value location and school catchment above immediate move-in readiness, this home offers scope to reconfigure and modernise while keeping period features. Buyers should plan for renovation costs and consider the single bathroom and modest room sizes when assessing suitability for family living.
