Rolls Drive, Hengistbury Head, Bournemouth, BH6

An exceptional opportunity to acquire a four-bedroom detached chalet residence, with planning permission in place to create a luxurious coastal home. Ideally positioned in the prestigious Hengistbury Head area, this property offers sweeping views over the golf course and expansive coastal vistas. The property at Rolls Drive is walking distance of Tuckton Gardens, Wick Meads Nature Reserve, Hengistbury Head Nature Reserve (0.6 miles), the Blue-Flag awarded Southbourne Beach (0.5 miles) and Mudeford Sandbank (1.6 miles).

THE SITUATION

This beautifully presented family home is located in Hengistbury Head (also known as East Southbourne) which is named after the scenic headland which forms a natural boundary between Christchurch Bay and Poole Bay. This is a pleasant residential area comprising mostly coastal chalets and mid-century family houses on wide roads and quiet closes.

There are golf and sailing clubs in the area. However, Hengistbury Head itself provides a tremendous local facility, and an escape to be enjoyed year-round. This is one of the most important Sites of Special Scientific Interest in England: a nature reserve of grassland and woodland with unspoiled beaches and, from its highest point, spectacular panoramic views over Christchurch Harbour and Christchurch Bay. The inner harbour bustles with yachts and windsurfers. There is a south-facing sandy beach where the headland narrows at Mudeford spit - renowned for its colourful beach huts. Here there is also a good cafe and ferry services across the mouth of Christchurch Harbour to Mudeford Quay.

THE PROPERTY

The property is accessed through a bright and airy entrance hallway, which leads to all ground floor accommodation and includes large feature windows overlooking the front and rear garden.

The ground floor features three spacious double bedrooms, one currently used as a reception room that opens into the rear conservatory, all providing ample space for furniture and storage.

The ground floor accommodation is serviced by a modern three-piece Villeroy & Boch bathroom featuring a white panelled bath with an overhead shower attachment, WC, hand wash basin, heated towel rail, and complemented by contemporary tiled floors and walls.

On the opposite side of the hallway, a generously sized kitchen is equipped with a fully fitted wooden kitchen, complemented by a tiled splashback. It incorporates integrated appliances, including a double oven, four-ring gas hob with extractor fan above.

Off the kitchen is a practical utility room, offering space and plumbing for white goods, with access to the rear garden and single garage, which is fitted with an electric up-and-over door.

From the hallway, an open-tread staircase ascends to the first floor landing, where a double bedroom is located, complete with built-in wardrobes. This generous bedroom benefits from expansive views to the front of the property and is serviced by a four-piece shower room featuring a large walk-in shower cubicle, along with fully tiled floors and walls.

A key feature of the property is the spacious first-floor living room, with sliding doors opening onto a south-easterly facing balcony, offering stunning views over the surrounding golf course, across to Hengistbury Head and the coastline.

OUTSIDE

The property is approached via a paved driveway leading to a carport and single garage, providing parking for three cars. The rear gardens are generously sized and have been landscaped in a low-maintenance style, bordered by fencing and mature hedging to ensure a high degree of privacy. A large patio stretches across the garden, perfect for enjoying the westerly aspect.
