Summary - 41 THISTLEBARROW ROAD BOURNEMOUTH BH7 7AL
5 bed 5 bath Detached
Chain-free detached house with HMO permission and south-facing garden.
HMO planning permission approved for conversion to House in Multiple Occupation
A versatile five-bedroom detached house in sought-after Littledown, offered chain free and recently refreshed with a newly fitted kitchen and modern bathrooms. The layout includes two reception rooms (one easily used as a sixth bedroom), three ensuites, a family bathroom, a top-floor shower room and two separate WCs — excellent for sharers or a large family. The property sits on a large plot with a south-facing private rear garden, detached garage and driveway with off-street parking for four vehicles.
This house already has HMO planning permission approved, making it a clear opportunity for investors seeking an income property in a strong rental area close to King’s Park, Royal Bournemouth Hospital and local amenities. The combination of multiple ensuites, five bedrooms and good transport links supports strong lettings demand. The interior is newly renovated in key areas (including the kitchen) and benefits from double glazing and gas central heating.
Notable practical points: the house was constructed 1900–1929 and has cavity walls that are assumed uninsulated, so external or internal wall insulation may be required to improve energy performance. Council tax is above average. Crime levels are average for the area. These are manageable considerations but may affect running costs and any retrofit timetable.
Overall this property is suited to buyers wanting an income-generating HMO conversion or a spacious family home with modernised living spaces and significant parking. A viewing is recommended to appraise the room sizes, layout flexibility and garden aspect in person.
