Property description

What its got

Walking into this property you are instantly hit by the natural light that flows through from the principal rooms with wooden floorboards. The tastefully decorated front lounge is a great place to retreat of an evening with a feature bay window and working fire. The kitchen/diner is located to the rear with modern fitted kitchen with shaker style doors and wooden worktop surfaces and space for dining table and chairs. French doors lead onto the garden. On the ground floor there is a large double bedroom/ or second reception room and the main family bathroom. Moving upstairs there are two double bedrooms with fitted wardrobes. Nb: There is a large cupboard adjoining both rooms, some similar properties have added a 'dormer' window and created an upstairs bathroom, this of course would be subject to the usual consents.

The tiered garden has a 'Mediterranian' theme with white washed walls and a mosiac tiled sun terrace which is a real sun trap and ideal for sunbathing, entertaining or alfresco dining/bbq's. There are some established flower/shrub borders and the top tier is laid to lawn. The lower patio area leads to the garage/storage area which even has its own war bunker. Agents Note: There is limited access to the garage from the driveway. The front garden has been landscaped to provide a driveway with parking for two cars and is surrounded by white washed raised flower bed borders.

Where it is

Branksome is an extremely popular location mainly due to the train station with direct routes to Waterloo, London making it a great spot for commuters. From this property you can walk to the station and amenities in 5-7 minutes. In the other direction you will find Coy Pond gardens which is a lovely walk leading straight to Bournemouth and in turn, the award-winning beach taking approx 30 minutes or better still a 15-minute cycle. You can walk to local schools too. Both Bournemouth & Poole town centres are both within easy reach.

What the owner says:

"When we viewed the property 16 years ago we were instantly drawn in by the brightness of the home and how much light flooded into each and every room. There isn't a dark room in the house! There was a large, full of potential, west facing garden full of flowers and vegetables which instantly caught my attention. You can grow anything in this garden and at the same time catch the sun on the terrace all day long! There is also a quirky garage which has a secret air raid shelter at the back which has the potential to be converted. The home has a welcoming open fire in the lounge and a spacious kitchen for entertaining . The area is pretty much central to everywhere, seven minutes from the train station with direct links to London Waterloo. A short walk through Bournemouth and Poole gardens to the distinctive Westbourne village and a bit further on to Bournemouth town centre. Very close to amenities, bars and restaurants in the ever popular Ashley Cross and Penhill villages. The beach is literally a ten minute drive to one of the prettiest chines in the area. I will be very sad to leave this well positioned and comfortable bright home."
