This beautifully presented, second floor flat offers spacious living accommodation, and overlooks Dean Park Cricket Ground – just a short walk from Bournemouth Town Centre.
Set amongst well maintained communal grounds, the property benefits from a garage with roof storage space, a parking space and also a visitor parking area.
Internally, the flat has a large family space with a Juliet balcony overlooking the cricket ground, and also a door giving access to a good sized balcony which is ideal for relaxing in the sunshine and taking in the views over the tree lined playing field.
The modern kitchen/breakfast room has space for informal dining and also has access to a south westerly facing balcony – ideal for taking in the evening sunshine with a drink or two.
Both double bedrooms are bright and spacious, with the master bedroom having a full en-suite bathroom and fitted wardrobes.
The current owners have recently updated the family bathroom to create a luxury feel with a large overhead mains pressure shower. In addition, new double glazed sash windows have recently been fitted to the flat with the ability to ‘tilt and turn’ – making it easier to open and clean. The gas central heating boiler was fitted in April 2021 and a new gas fire was also fitted in June 2021.
Offered for sale in excellent decorative order, this is an opportunity to purchase a lovely home in a unique setting adjacent to the Grade II listed Edwardian cricket pavilion, just a few minutes walk from Bournemouth Town.
Local Area

Dean Park Cricket Ground is well known for its use by Hampshire and Dorset County Cricket Clubs and is now owned by a local school with the Edwardian Grade II listed pavilion now used by a children’s nursery, the roads in Dean Park are curved around the ground.
Within easy reach of the property are doctors surgeries and a dentist. Charminster and Lansdowne are a short walk away, and an asda supermarket is also close by.
