Condor Ferries to the Channel Islands are situated in nearby Poole. The A31 provides access to the M27 and the motorway network.

THE PROPERTY

Presented in fine order, following a thorough renovation and tasteful improvements throughout by the current owner. This wonderful refurbishment and smart extensions have created a fine home with a fusion of character features, as well as contemporary interior.

This two bedroom semi detached house shines throughout and a viewing is recommended to appreciate all on offer.

Of particular interest is the spacious living accommodation, which also due to the particular layout incorporating a bedroom downstairs, could lend itself to being ideal to enable annexed accommodation for family or guests. This bedroom features an en suite while there is also a WC. The kitchen has been updated with a careful attention to detail, with Quartz worktops and wood flooring, while a feature log burner and bi fold doors are two highlights from the living/dining room, which adjoins the main garden area and enjoys a pleasant outlook. A handy utility area just off the kitchen is also conveyed.

The property continues to impress upstairs with a spacious bedroom, which could be utilised as principal suite, considering there is a bathroom and dressing area adjoining.

GROUNDS AND GARDENS

The property has a pleasant approach, set behind double wooden gates, behind these is a secure parking space plus two log stores. There is a pedestrian gate that leads up a stone pathway leading you to the front door. The garden wraps around the front and side of the residence and features generous lawn and patio areas, together with a charming wildlife cottage garden designed to attract birds and pollinators. The grounds offer a tranquil retreat indeed and are strikingly private and secluded, while there is a well-positioned summer house, further complimented by an array of fruit trees and mature hedging. Yet another highlight is the healthy amount of off-road parking spaces conveyed, which has been created by the current owner. The land in front of the fence also belongs to the property and provides parking for 2-3 cars.
