This attractive Victorian mid-terrace on Florence Road offers a comfortable family home in a popular Lower Parkstone location. The house has two double bedrooms, a large through lounge/diner with a feature open fireplace, and a modern fitted kitchen with adjoining utility. A secluded rear garden, brick-built store and a fully boarded loft (with ladder) add useful storage and conversion potential (STP).
Practical upgrades include UPVC double glazing, gas central heating and a two-year-old Worcester combi boiler, reducing immediate maintenance concerns. The contemporary family bathroom has both a separate shower and bath. At about 707 sq ft the property is an average-sized period home that suits a small family, first-time buyers moving up, or downsizers wanting proximity to local amenities.
Location is a key draw: within the Courthill and Baden Powell catchments and walking distance to Penn Hill, Ashley Cross and Parkstone station. Easy access to Bournemouth and Poole centres, local schools and the coast make day-to-day life convenient. Council tax is inexpensive and broadband and mobile signals are strong.
Notable limitations are factual: the plot is relatively small and there’s no specified off-street parking. The property dates from around 1900–1929 and cavity walls are assumed to lack insulation, so there may be scope for energy-efficiency improvements. The house is average in size and will appeal most to buyers who value location and period character over large modern living spaces.
