This substantial four-bedroom detached home, set in a quiet cul-de-sac in Boscombe East, offers almost 2,400 sq ft of flexible living including a self-contained two-bedroom annexe with its own entrance, garden and boiler. The main house combines character interwar features with a large, open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner that opens via bifold doors to a private south-facing garden — ideal for family life and entertaining. The annexe suits multi-generational living, a rental opportunity or home office, adding genuine versatility and income potential.
The property is well placed within walking distance of Southbourne Grove, Southbourne beach and Kings Park, and benefits from a large driveway with parking for multiple vehicles. The interior is presented attractively, with a modern kitchen island and useful reception rooms, while local schools include several ‘Good’ and ‘Outstanding’ rated options, supporting a family-focused buyer.
Practical factors to note: the home dates from the interwar period and some areas could benefit from updating or cosmetic modernisation to suit contemporary tastes. Council tax is described as expensive, and the house footprint and plot size mean ongoing maintenance will be greater than for a smaller property. A viewing is recommended to appreciate the scale and layout and to assess any modernisation requirements for your needs.
