House For Sale £795,000
This extensive character filled property offers over 2,200 sq ft of internal living space situated next to Southbourne high street, and a stone's throw away from the award winning beach. This property comes with a remarkable kitchen/diner, two receptions rooms, three bathrooms as well as an option for a self contained annex. A Stunning property that needs to be seen!
Southbourne is now undoubtedly one of the most favoured suburbs in Bournemouth with its award winning beach and vastly expanding High Street that boasts a great selection of bespoke eateries, bars and unique independent shops. This property is located literally a stone's throw away from the overcliff with its breathtaking sandy beach and panoramic views of the Isle of Wight and Old Harry Rocks.
Built in 1910 this considerable property oozes character from start to finish. Fully extended to the rear with the option for a self contained annex or additional bedroom options. Positioned on the doorstep of Southbourne High Street and only a short stroll to the overcliff and zig zag pathway which takes you down to the beach.
From the road the property is set back with double bay aspects and an eye-catching double fronted red door, ample off road parking is framed by a raised bedding filled with a variety of plants and shrubs.
As you enter via the vestibule the original Victorian mosaic floor is under foot, modern upvc windows encase the original entrance with its original stained glass windows with lead lining encased in wooden framework. Stepping into the entrance hall your first thought will be wow! Parquet flooring extends out towards the principal rooms along with high ceiling height that is complemented by ornate cornicing. A feature fireplace sits in the middle of two bench seats adding character to the entrance. The wide staircase curves elegantly up to the first floor creating large under-stair storage, all lit up by a chandelier pendant ceiling light.
Residing at the front of the property is the main reception room with its large bay aspect that grabs your attention as you enter. This extremely spacious room has the continuation of the original character with the wide architraves and deep skirting panels. There is another feature fireplace with a gas fire insert set in a stone surround with a stone hearth. The chimney alcoves provide lots of storage/display options. The parquet floor is covered with a carpet and there is a central pendant light.
Adjacent is the second reception room which extends towards double french doors that open out to the patio onto the private garden. This room has multifunctionality with plumbing in the walls for an ensuite to be positioned on the far right hand corner, giving options to change this room to a bedroom ideal for multigenerational living. It has laminate flooring and a closed fireplace for visual effect.
A key feature of this property is the kitchen/diner which has a triple aspect ensuring plenty of light engulfs the room as well as providing views across the garden. This well thought out room offers an ideal entertainment space with great functionality, features include quartz worktops that run down the majority of one side with sunken sink below the garden facing aspect and an array of baseline units housing an integrated dishwasher and low level freezer complemented by a mixture of eyeline closed and glass fronted units leaving enough space at the end for an american style fridge/freezer with plumbing for chilled water. The clever design then creates a large very deep corner larder on the opposite side which then leads to a 7 burner Britannia Range Cooker with large oven and separate grill sections and extractor over. The Quartz worktop continues and elbows out to create a breakfast bar whilst leaving a large space for an extensive dining table. The high ceiling is adorned by rustic lanterns complemented by LED spotlights. Vinyl flooring is underfoot and the current owners have also fitted a water softener.
Exiting the rear of the kitchen is the utility area which provides further access out to the garden and a ground floor bathroom/utility room where you can store the noisy appliances out the way. The utility room also has a quadrant shower, pedestal wash basin and WC.
The final part of the extension is a very impressive bedroom, it has a plush carpet and ceiling and wall lights to perfectly set the mood. This stunning room has a set of double french doors that open out to the garden and is a lovely generous size. This is the section of the property that can become an integrated annex with access from the side through to the garden and into the utility area as its private entrance which then provides the bedroom and bathroom.
The extra wide staircase takes you up to the first floor showcasing the stained glass window along the way. The landing gives access to the loft via an enlarged opening with loft ladder and is set up to be an additional room in the property, currently set up as a hobby room.
The first floor has four actual double sized bedrooms with the Master being especially impressive mirroring the lounge with its large bay aspect looking to the front of the property and providing great storage options with the alcoves either side of the chimney stack. The Master is particularly bright from the morning sun beaming through, carpet flooring, central ceiling light and tons of space to design with. Bedroom two is adjacent and looks over the garden enjoying the sun set through the large dual aspect with bedroom three also at the front and bedroom four at the rear of the property. All bedrooms are impressive doubles with a neutral decor and carpet.
The first floor benefits from two bathrooms ensuring a stress free morning for the whole family. The larger of the two bathrooms has been recently re-fitted with a separate bath with tile surround, tiled cubicle shower, pedestal sink, WC, chrome towel rail and vinyl floor. This bathroom has a dual aspect and a central light. The slightly smaller bathroom is completely tiled floor to ceiling and has a bath with a mixer shower over and curtain enclosure, pedestal wash basin and corner WC.
The private garden at the rear of the property has been carefully thought out to maximize the space on offer creating a relaxing area to enjoy the sun throughout the day. There are multiple access points to the garden with a large block paved patio area outside the second reception room ideal for alfresco dining and making the most of the westerly direction. The block paving creates a pathway that passes the bedroom and utility area and leads to the side gate. Opposite is a bedding area enclosed with sleepers that extends to the end of the garden with a selection of potted bamboo to the side and colourful trees and shrubs to the rear. The central section is then laid to faux grass ensuring more time relaxing in the garden! To the far right of the garden is the pedestrian access to the detached garage, in sync with the property its a generous sized garage with a pitched roof for additional storage and electric and lighting both installed. The garage allows you to drive straight out onto Broom Lane and then on towards Pine Avenue. Exiting through the side access at the rear there is an open space that runs down the side of the property where the water softener is stored. A second gate provides access into Southbourne Lane West that runs behind the High Street itself and is ideal if you do create that annex. There is also a lean too with doors either side externally with lighting but it also offers a walk through to the front of the property.
There is no doubt this property offers something very special in sobo, the overall living space with a loft room provides endless options for use for a large family or multigenerational living. All in a convenient location and with a chain free option! An absolute must see to fully appreciate.
