Full Description
West Overcliff is one of Bournemouth's most popular areas due to its proximity to the Award Winning Beach which runs for 7 miles along the coastline from Sandbanks to Hengistbury Head as well as being within walking distance of the High Street. Westbourne has a distinct continental feel, which offers a selection of Boutiques and Independent Shops along with a variety of Bars and Bistros delivering a vibrant cafe culture.
This Stylish Penthouse Apartment resides in a converted Gentleman's Residence located in arguably one of West Bournemouth's most prestigious and sought after roads in West Overcliff's Conservation Area. The main building has been maintained to a very high standard over the years whilst in keeping with all its glorious character. It delivers great kerb appeal set in extensive grounds with a newly laid driveway. As you enter the main entrance you are instantly impressed by the original features.
Access to the apartment is via a private entrance on the first floor. As you enter there is a good sized hall ideal for the storage of shoes and coats and round to the left and down a few steps is the utility room containing a newly fitted boiler, and perfect for keeping all the noisy appliances out of the way.
As you ascend the stairs you will find yourself looking down and admiring the stunning hallway with high ceilings, new carpets and boasting a width all the way through that would make any property entrance jealous. From here you will instantly appreciate the fluid fusion of space and character complemented by the tasteful renovation that has been conducted to deliver a stunning penthouse apartment.
At the far end of the apartment is the lounge, a show stopping room with access through wooden French doors to a South Facing balcony delivering the right amount of space for a bistro set to sit and enjoy the sunshine. The room is spacious and has a high ceiling with added character due to the pitches and angles, finished with a deep pile carpet and neutral decor. There is no shortage of light due to the French doors coupled with the additional Velux window.
The kitchen/diner again delivers something a little special to this one-off apartment, a small step between the kitchen and dining area nicely accentuates the split between the two areas. The dining section is large enough to house a family sized table and chairs for entertaining, natural light is let in through the original window, engineered wooden flooring and neutral decor finish off the dining area. An attractive square Island fuses the connection to the kitchen whilst delivering additional worktop and storage, topped with an on trend Zenith Caldeira coloured solid surface compact worktop. The modern kitchen offers an integrated oven with ceramic hob and extractor over, dishwasher and space for a free-standing fridge/freezer. There is an array of base and eye-line cupboards intersected by the continuation of the solid surface worktop running around 3 sides providing ample space to create your culinary delights. An additional Velux window sits above the sink ensuring another bright room and finished with engineered wood flooring, tiled splash backs and modern coloured decor.
This outstanding apartment continues to impress with 3 double sized bedrooms. The Master bedroom offers immense space and character with a large bay encasing fully refurbished original sash windows. The deep pile carpets continue from the hall and the room is again finished with neutral decor and also benefits from a selection of built-in wardrobes. The Master has an en-suite shower room with double length shower, floating basin and W.C finished with grey slate floor to ceiling tiles. Although there is a heated towel rail the room also comes with full digital underfloor heating to sustain the perfect temperature at all times.
Bedroom 2 is another very impressive size with a further bay containing fully refurbished sash windows, eaves access for storage, continuation of the plush carpets and with views to the front of the main building and down McKinley Road. Bedroom 3 is the smallest of the bedrooms but is still a good sized double with a Velux window and the same outstanding finish, it would make for an ideal guest room opposite the bathroom.
The main bathroom is a personal favourite and has possibly the best use of space we have ever seen! Set over a split level you are presented with a stand-alone luxury bath along with a separate shower cubicle, complemented by a floating wash basin and modern W.C. Spotlighting throughout this ultra-modern bathroom is then finished with grey floor to ceiling tiles and has digital underfloor heating and heated towel rail.
The property comes with a share of the Freehold and attracts a very reasonable maintenance charge of £130 per month with no ground rent. There is allocated parking along with a garage and the remainder of a 999 year lease.There is also sole access to a large loft, boarded and lit for extensive additional storage along with a newly fitted boiler and Hive heating controls.
There is no doubt this is a unique apartment, the renovation work has been completed to a spectacularly high level with meticulous thought to ensure a modern feel whilst complementing the original character. The idyllic location of this apartment in the tree lined McKinley Road offers a very desirable home.
