Set on desirable Braidley Road, this Art Deco–style detached home offers generous living across three floors and about 2,300 sq ft. The upside-down layout places main living rooms and a sunny balcony on the first floor, with a unique roof room that opens onto an elevated roof terrace — ideal for entertaining with treetop views. A large driveway and double garage sit alongside private front and rear gardens and a substantial plot.
The house provides five bedrooms and four bath/shower rooms, suited to larger families, multi-generational households, or buyers seeking flexible space. The bright living room and separate dining room reflect the period character, while the kitchen has scope for a modern refit to suit contemporary tastes. Local amenities include Meyrick Park, nearby schools, Bournemouth town centre and beaches within easy reach.
Buyers should note several practical issues: heating is by electric room heaters (no central heating system listed), glazing appears to be double glazed but installed before 2002, and the property’s solid brick walls are assumed to lack insulation — all of which may affect running costs and comfort. Council tax is described as quite expensive. The area shows higher crime levels and is classed as deprived in local metrics, and the neighbourhood profile includes students and migrant families, which may influence local activity and demand.
Overall this freehold property combines scale, period detail and excellent location with clear potential for sympathetic updating. It will suit purchasers who prioritise space and location and who are prepared to invest in modernising heating, insulation and internal finishes to unlock its long-term value.
