Orchard Avenue, Poole, Dorset, BH14

LILLIPUT & BADEN POWELL SCHOOL CATCHMENT. A rare chance to purchase this substantial family home, offering four bedrooms, three reception rooms and occupying a very large garden plot. This beautiful character home has considerable potential to remodel and improve .

PLEASE REFER TO OUR FLOORPLAN FOR ROOM MEASUREMENTS.

THE PROPERTY – Originally built in the 1920’s and with some period features still remaining. On the ground floor is a spacious entrance hall and three good sized living rooms, kitchen and a shower room.

A large staircase leads up to the first floor where there are four large bedrooms a family bathroom and a separate cloakroom/WC. There looks to be great potential on the first floor landing to create a second staircase up to the loft where further accommodation could be formed.

On the ground floor there is the potential to merge rooms together, re-organise or build on at the rear (subject planning), there are lots of options here.

OUTSIDE – The rear garden measures around 80’ in length and is level, lawned, with well defined boundaries on each side, coupled with some mature planting and beds.

The front garden has a driveway leading up to a detached garage with the possibility of creating a lot more parking and turning space in front of the house if desired.

THE LOCATION - ASHLEY CROSS, LOWER PARKSTONE AND THE SURROUNDING AREA – This house is on the very doorstep of Poole Park at the northern end. Nearby is Ashley Cross, a small, mostly Victorian, suburb of Poole also with its own public park referred to by most locals as "The Green". The Village has an eclectic mix of shops, cafe's, pubs and independent retailers. There is also a train station with a Waterloo connection (around 120 minutes) and good bus connections into nearby Poole and Bournemouth. Poole Harbour, the second largest natural harbour in the world, is around 5 minutes’ drive away from Ashley Cross where yacht clubs, marinas, viewpoints, wind and kite surfing areas can be found alongside the world-renowned golden Sandbanks beaches. Beyond this is the Isle of Purbeck which is a rural peninsular accessed by a chain ferry and providing excellent road and mountain biking terrain and also beautiful, quieter, beaches.

AGENTS NOTE - Currently two of the reception rooms are set up as bedrooms, and the house has a kitchen fitted in one of the first floor bedrooms as the owners had used the house as two homes, informally. In the process of updating the house this additional kitchen could easily be removed.
