A rare opportunity to acquire a large Victorian detached house in need of total modernisation, built circa 1880, in stunning gardens extending to approximately 0.5 acre and with redevelopment potential subject to planning consent being obtained.

Situated within walking distance of excellent local shopping amenities and Bournemouth Travel Interchange providing direct rail links to London Waterloo in approximately 1hr & 48 minutes, this impressive property is also ideally located for easy access to Bournemouth Town Centre with its superb array of shopping & entertainment facilities and the magnificent seven miles of sandy beaches for which the town is renowned.

The house is constructed of brick elevations with stone mullion windows under a slate roof. Having been in the same ownership for the last 64 years, it has had very little improvements made both internally & externally, therefore the property is in need of considerable modernisation & restoration. The accommodation is arranged over three floors with the addition of a cellar in the basement, as well as attached outbuildings with original stable.

The internal accommodation comprises reception hall, sitting room, morning room, dining room, study, kitchen, ground floor bathroom, first floor landing to six bedrooms, bathroom, separate cloakroom, two further additional attic bedrooms, large attic store and access to roof void, secondary staff staircase leading from ground floor to top floor, staircase from internal lobby leads down to the reasonably sized cellar.

Externally there are attached outbuildings with garden stores, detached prefabricated double garage, off-road parking, and gardens & grounds which are a true feature of the property and were treasured by the previous owners who planted many mature shrubs and trees.

James Roberts of Arc Architects have been approached and asked for their professional opinion with regard to potential re-development of the site, they have also visited with their arboricultural surveyor and have reported that there is re-development potential for splitting the main house into two vertical semi-detached houses, with a terrace of four cottage style coach-houses in the rear garden to the western boundary and a detached cottage to the eastern boundary.

Sketch plans are available from the selling Agent however it should be noted that any alterations would be subject to the relevant planning application & approval.
