From our office in Southbourne proceed in the direction of Pokesdown traffic lights turning left on to Christchurch Road.  Take the third left into Queensland Road followed by the first right which is Colville Road.

This is in our opinion a superb opportunity to purchase a very spacious detached home which is full of character and highly sought after features. Very well presented throughout the property benefits from gas central heating, full Upvc double glazed windows, Upvc soffit, fascia's and gutters. It is also set within a very handy location within a quiet road which gives easy access to a wide range of facilities including bus routes, shops and eateries both at Southbourne and Boscombe high streets. Within a short walk is the picturesque Woodland walk which leads to local cliff tops, in turn leading to the areas golden sandy beaches.    

The property is entered via an original period porch which also provides handy storage space having glazed windows and door leading directly through to the main living room which is a very impressive space to say the least! 

Originally comprising of two separate reception rooms and a hallway the entire front of the property has been opened up to create a modern open plan space incorporating the stairwell to the first floor yet it still manages to retain a character/period feel. Floor coverings offer a sub division within the room, a carpeted area for lounging and stripped wood floorboards defining a dining space. The room has a dual aspect with front aspect box bay and window overlooking the rear garden and has two feature fireplaces, one having a period style gas living flame effect fire, the second being open (although disused) with an exposed brick chimney breast.

A door from the living space leads to the kitchen/dining room which is again of generous proportion measuring 22' in length. The kitchen continues with a character feel having a farmhouse style fully tiled floor and a full range of hand carved wooden kitchen units which offer a great deal of storage and display surfaces. Wooden working surfaces are set over base units incorporating an inset gas hob and butler style sink which is set beneath a window overlooking the rear garden. The kitchen is also fitted with an oven and grill with space for a washing machine, dishwasher, fridge and freezer. A door gives access to the rear of property and garden, a further door to a ground floor cloakroom which has a side space window, WC and hand wash basin fitted.

The first floor is served by a good sized split level landing which leads to all bedrooms and the bathroom, a hatch with pull down ladder leading to the loft area which has been loosely converted to form a loft style room with side aspect velux window. There is a very useful built in cupboard/store which has been arranged by the current owners to provide a 'hide away' office/study area.  Adjacent to the bathroom there is also a laundry room which houses the gas boiler and hot water cylinder set within an airing cupboard, this room is ideal for clothes drying and ironing.

The master bedroom is set to the front of property and is again of generous proportion and built in wardrobes and a front aspect box bay window. A door leads to a modern en-suite shower room which has a frosted front aspect window and is fitted with a three piece suite to include a low level WC, pedestal hand wash basin and a walk in corner shower cubicle, finished with part tiled walls.

Bedrooms two and three overlook the rear of property and will both comfortably take a double bed, the second bedroom also benefiting from a vanity hand wash basin. The family bathroom has a frosted side aspect window and has been fitted in a character style with part stained wood walling, period style radiator and towel rail as well as period style fitments comprising of a wc with enclosed cistern and hand wash basin set within a vanity unit, plus a bath with shower screen to side and shower over.

Outside of the property the front garden is enclosed by low level fencing and has been laid to low maintenance slabwork with flower/shrub borders. A pathway leads to the front entrance and a dropped kerb gives access to a driveway providing off road parking for one car. Accessed from the drive an enclosed and covered side walkway/store provides excellent secure storage for bikes, tolls and such like, a second doorway door to the rear of the store leading to the rear garden.

Immediately adjacent to the kitchen is a slab work patio which continues to the main area of rear garden which has a pleasant outlook and is in our opinion a good size measuring approximately 55' - 60' in depth. The garden is laid with a central lawn abutted by an array of shaped flower and shrub beds with a wooden storage shed to rear.
