Apple Grove, Southbourne, Bournemouth, BH6

This wonderful period home is set down a private road and offers spacious accommodation bursting with character. Also featuring a beautiful wrap-around garden, it is a must see home!

Ideally positioned, the property gives easy access to Southbourne's popular high-street 'The Grove' which offers a range of independent stores and eateries. It is also close to local cliff tops with the area's golden sandy beaches beneath.

Our clients have made updates and improvements to the property during their ownership but have been careful not to lose the homes character, rather sympathetically enhancing its charm. It is therefore full of period features internally, complimented externally by a wonderful wrap-around garden landscaped in an English country style.

The property is entered through a useful entrance porch, double doors then opening in to a superb hallway featuring an oak staircase to the first floor and giving access to all living areas.

The main living room overlooks the front of property via a large bay window complimented by two side aspect stained glass windows. It features a period open fireplace and has an open double doorway leading to the kitchen/dining room.

The kitchen/diner boasts a pair of French doors giving direct garden access and offers plentiful room for a large dining table. The kitchen area is fitted with handcrafted wooden units and matching countertops, offering room for a range style cooker, under-counter fridge and dishwasher.

Adjacent to the kitchen a utility/laundry room provides space for further appliances and offers built in storage to include a larder. This also gives access on to the rear gardens and a ground floor WC.

The ground floor also offers a second reception which is currently arranged as a large study but could equally make a snug lounge, playroom or similar.

Moving up to the first floor, a spacious landing leads to all four bedrooms, each making for good double rooms.

The master bedroom is particularly spacious and boasts both a large bay window and period fireplace. It also benefits from a large en-suite with period fittings to include a freestanding bath.

In recent years our clients commissioned a part conversion of the loft area, installing a fixed staircase to give easy access, and double velux windows bringing natural light. Our clients utilise the space as an arts studio, but it should be noted that building regulation approval has not been sought for these works hence this area is formally for storage only. For purchasers seeking further scope, it could possibly be developed to provide a formal living space (STPP/Building regulation approval).

Outside, our clients chose to lay most of the plot to gardens with parking provided for two cars adjacent to the property, although there is plenty of scope to increase car parking if required.

Gardens wrap around the front, side and rear of the home. Extensively planted they offer a huge array of flowers, shrubs and herbs with well-designed/integrated working areas of garden. There is a large patio abutting the rear of the property and space for a garden shed or summerhouse.

An exceptionally rare opportunity to purchase of home of this ilk within the Southbourne area we welcome and strongly advise internal viewing. Please contact us to arrange your accompanied visit.
