Direction Note:  From Southbourne shops proceed in the direction of Christchurch along Belle Vue Road, taking the left turning into Carbery Avenue. Watcombe Road is the first turning on the left hand side.

This detached home presents a very rare opportunity to acquire a character home within in Southbourne within a highly sought after residential location. The property is set well back from the road being accessed via a long private driveway which combined with mature shrubbery and borders provides for a peaceful and secluded position, benefits that are again hard to find.

Upon approaching the property the driveway opens to provide off road parking for several cars and continues to an attached garage. There is also a seating area to the front which captures the late morning and early afternoon sun.

The front door leads through to a hallway which has doors leading to both reception rooms and stairs to the first floor which have a ground floor WC set beneath.

The spacious living room overlooks the front of property with two windows and offers great character with exposed beams to the ceiling and a fireplace which is currently fitted with a gas fire.  

To the rear of property the dining room overlooks the rear garden. The separate kitchen is set adjacent and is accessed from the dining room. This is fitted with a range of eye and base kitchen units with space for a gas cooker, under counter fridge and washing machine. A window overlooks the rear of property and a side door leads round to the garden.

The first floor is arranged to provide three double bedrooms, the master and second bedroom featuring character exposed beams. The second bedroom also houses a modern gas combination boiler serving hot water and central heating.

Bedrooms are served by a family bathroom and a dressing/shower room. The bathroom is fitted with a panel enclosed bath, low level WC and hand wash basin. The dressing/shower room is a great luxury fitted with an excellent range of wardrobes and a three piece suite comprising a WC, hand wash basin and a walk in corner shower. If required it is our opinion that this room could be converted to provide an additional fourth bedroom, or alternatively altered to form an en-suite to the master bedroom.

Outside as previously stated there is a long private drive and off road parking to the front of property. Attached to the side of property is a garage/workshop measuring approximately 15‘10 x 11‘ (4.83m x 3.35m), this is served by double doors and fitted with both power and light.

A door to the rear of garage leads to a very useful garden room measuring 16‘4 x 8‘4 (4.98m x 2.54m). This decorated room has a bay window overlooking the garden, is fitted with power and light and also has plumbing for a WC. It has its own door leading to, or giving independent access from the rear gardens and could have multiple uses to include perhaps a home office space or studio and even gives annex potential subject to planning and building regulation approval.  

The rear gardens are greatly secluded by deep and mature hedges to the rear and are enclosed to the side by fencing with a gated pathway returning to the front. Laid mainly to lawn with inset shrubbery there is also a patio area abutting the garden room which is ideally placed to capture the afternoon sun.

A rare style of property for the area and with a whole host of sought after benefits we strongly advise early viewing as we anticipate good demand. Please call us, the sellers chosen sole agents to arrange your inspection.
