Property description

Treagust & Co are pleased to present this extended Edwardian family home situated in a convenient location within the sought after village of Southbourne.

Believed to have been built in 1906, this charming property has been cleverly extended and offers good sized accommodation extending to 1664 sq ft (including garage). This highly desirable residence has a wonderful homely atmosphere and an abundance of original features throughout, greatly enhancing the interior.

A quarry tiled entrance with original front door opens into the hall which features varnished floorboards and original staircase to the first floor with storage cupboard beneath. There are two formal reception rooms; a front aspect sitting room with west facing bay window, open fireplace with ornate surround, and bespoke alcove storage cabinets with shelves over, and a formal dining room with garden aspect bay window. The kitchen is fitted with a range of wall and base units set under solid beech work surfaces and has a ceramic sink, built-in dishwasher and space for a fridge/freezer and cooker. There is also a range of additional pine units, one housing the washing machine, a larder cupboard, feature Morso log burning stove, and open-plan access to the breakfast area with south facing French doors to the side. An opening leads to the family room which provides an additional living space and has doors opening out to the garden. 

On the first floor the landing with hatch to the loft space provides access to the two largest bedrooms, both with feature fireplaces, with the master having two bespoke fitted wardrobes. A corridor with space for bookshelves continues through to the extension which provides two further bedrooms and a central shower room. Also found on this floor, the great sized family bathroom features a large corner shower cubicle, and separate corner bath. 

Outside

A mature hedge forms the front boundary with opening to the generous gravel driveway providing off-road parking space for several cars. This leads to the garage with remote controlled up and over door, side door, and power/lighting connected. Enclosed by mature privet hedging to the side boundaries, the 95’ (29m) rear garden provides a good degree of privacy, and is mostly laid to lawn with a large patio at the rear of the house, and an additional paved seating area towards the end of the lawn. The rear section of the garden has been cleverly designed to create an area currently used for a hot tub, with changing room and garden store. Beyond this space there is a further enclosed area with storage and small garden store. Further features include a rear access pathway with side door to the garage, outside lighting and water tap.
