3 Bedroom Semi-Detached House for sale in Poole

2 3 2

This delightful three bedroom character home successfully combines the warmth and individuality of a period property with the space and versatility required for modern-day living. Thoughtfully extended, the house has proved to be an exceptional family home, with generous accommodation, a south-facing garden and a particularly impressive open-plan kitchen, dining and living space at its heart.

From the moment you enter, the character of the original building remains evident. Exposed brickwork, timber floorboards and two fireplaces – including one with a solid fuel burner – introduce warmth and texture, while carefully considered additions complement rather than compete with the property's period origins.

The principal kitchen, dining and living area is undoubtedly one of the defining features of the home. Generously proportioned and wonderfully sociable, it provides distinct areas in which to cook, dine and relax while retaining the openness that makes it such an inviting everyday family space. The dining area is especially appealing, enjoying views across the garden and doors providing a natural connection to the terrace and south-facing rear garden beyond.

For those occasions when a little separation is preferred, the additional reception room provides the perfect retreat from the main family living area. Whether used as a more formal sitting room, television room or quiet space in which to relax, its versatility adds considerably to the appeal of the ground-floor accommodation.

Upstairs, there are three well-proportioned bedrooms served by two bath/shower rooms. A shower room conveniently serves two of the bedrooms, while the principal bedroom is next to a family bathroom fitted with a heritage-style suite. Subject to individual requirements, the arrangement could lend itself to creating a private en-suite for the principal bedroom.

The outside space complements the house beautifully. To the front, off-road parking is accompanied by a small lawned area screened by a mature retaining hedge, while gated side access leads through to the rear.

Immediately adjoining the kitchen is a generous patio, providing an ideal setting for outdoor dining and entertaining. Beyond the patio, a large expanse of lawn is framed by mature planting, giving the garden an established and private feel.

More recently, our clients have introduced a garden room which has proved invaluable as a dedicated home-working space. An additional storage section offers further potential and could, if desired, provide a second home office or hobby space. Tucked discreetly behind the garden room is a charming 'secret garden', creating a wonderful play area for younger children.

The house has served our clients exceptionally well as a place in which to raise a young family, and it is easy to understand why. Equally, the generous proportions of the principal living areas, manageable accommodation and excellent location could make the property an appealing proposition for those looking to downsize without sacrificing the feeling of space.

Gorleston Road is particularly well placed for everyday life, with Heatherland Primary School, local amenities and the open green space around Coy Pond all within easy reach, while the shops, cafés, restaurants and amenities of Westbourne are also readily accessible.

A home of genuine character, warmth and versatility, offering an appealing balance between period charm, contemporary family living and an excellent location.
