Garden Garage Double glazing Off-street parking Central heating

If location, orientation and interior quality are the essentials of a really nice house then this must be one of the best small houses in Bournemouth. 15 mins walk from the town centre, 5 mins level walk to Westbourne, 15 mins walk to the beach and ½ mile to the Wessex Way. The house and garden catch the sun all day and the separate garage gives access from a private road to the garden.

Built in 1968, the house is within a T-shaped close of 18 first-generation terraced town houses and was completely modernised internally 3½ years ago including a top-quality kitchen with range oven, commercial standard extractor and Miele appliances. The kitchen base units are topped with Blue Pearl granite with double sink and tri-flow tap. The most efficient water-softener available was installed and the 3 bedrooms are served by very stylish en-suite and guest shower rooms. The cavity walls and loft were insulated to the latest standards and the central area of the loft boarded for storage. The powerful Combi boiler is also situated in the loft releasing more cupboard space in the kitchen.

All windows, the front door and french doors to the garden are upvc-double-glazed and the ground floor parquet (light oak) was restored during the modernisation.
