Summary - 30 ORCHARD AVENUE POOLE BH14 8AJ
4 bed 3 bath Detached
Extensively renovated period house with expansive entertaining space and south-west garden.
Circa 3,400 sq ft including substantial loft play/hobbies room
Sumptuously renovated and extended in 2021, this four-bedroom detached home blends period character with bold contemporary living. The heart of the house is an 11m “Grand Hall” open-plan kitchen, living and dining area with 3m ceilings and an 8.5m aluminium-framed glass door wall that opens onto a large south-west rear garden and porcelain terrace — excellent for entertaining and late afternoon sun. High-spec finishes include a handmade kitchen with quartz worktops, Rangemaster double oven, Porcelanosa tiling and Laura Ashley lighting.
The property offers abundant adaptable space across circa 3,400 sq ft: a formal living room fitted with a home cinema system, a ground-floor office ideal for remote working, a utility/cloak area and an integral garage currently fitted as a training room with professional D-grade flooring. Upstairs are four double bedrooms, a principal suite with a substantial walk-in dressing area and luxurious en-suite, a guest bedroom with shower room, and a second staircase to a well-insulated loft hobbies/play room.
Recent building works are comprehensive: new insulated roof, full rewiring, new gas boiler with underfloor heating, and front and rear landscaping. Practical benefits include a new block-paved driveway (2024) with a 10-year warranty, plentiful off-street parking suitable for boats or motorhomes, outside double socket under the pergola and fast broadband/mobile coverage. The house sits within strong school catchments and is walking distance to Poole Park, Ashley Cross and Parkstone station.
Buyers should note the property carries an expensive council tax band and, while renovated to a high standard, the house’s large scale means ongoing maintenance and heating costs will be higher than average. The integral garage is currently used as a gym/training room, reducing secure vehicle storage unless reinstated. Viewings recommended to appreciate scale and craftsmanship in person.
