Summary - 291 ALDER ROAD POOLE BH12 5BH
3 bed 2 bath Detached Bungalow
Spacious three-bedroom bungalow with large private garden and multi-car driveway.
Chain free detached chalet bungalow, approx 1,099 sq ft
This chain-free, three-bedroom chalet bungalow on Alder Road offers a roomy, flexible layout and a large, private tiered garden — ideal for families or those looking to downsize without sacrificing space. The bungalow sits on a substantial plot with a wide driveway for multiple cars and generous external storage (two large sheds). Sitting around 1,099 sq ft, the house provides comfortable living space with a ground-floor lounge, two double bedrooms and a family bathroom, plus an upstairs double with en-suite.
The property is a solid mid‑20th-century build with cavity walls and mains gas central heating. It benefits from double glazing installed before 2002 and an affordable council tax band C. Its location is strong for local amenities, green spaces and schools, with easy access to Bourne Valley, Talbot Heath nature reserves and bus routes into Poole and Bournemouth.
There are some practical updates to consider. The kitchen is dated and will benefit from modernisation to improve functionality and energy efficiency. The EPC is currently rated D, and the older double glazing and heating system could be upgraded to reduce running costs. Buyers should also note the property’s age (1950s–1960s), which may bring standard maintenance or modernisation costs.
Overall this bungalow is a straightforward, spacious home with good outdoor space and parking, offering clear potential to add personal style and value. It suits families seeking proximity to schools and green space, downsizers wanting a single-level main living area with an extra upstairs room, or buyers ready to update a comfortable, well-located property.
