Littledown Drive, Bournemouth, Dorset, BH7

Avenue Estates is delighted to present this TRULY EXCEPTIONAL HOME OF DISTINCTION, offering almost 4,000 sq ft of LUXURIOUS ACCOMMODATION arranged over three floors. Set impressively behind SECURE ELECTRIC GATES, the property has undergone an EXTENSIVE RENOVATION, including the replacement of approximately 90% of the windows, NEW PLUMBING & BOILER, complete ELECTRICAL REWIRING, NEW ROOF TILES and extensive internal remodelling.

The result is a sophisticated and beautifully considered home which combines contemporary luxury with the character and charm of the original property. At its heart is an outstanding open-plan kitchen, dining and living space, designed to create an impressive setting for both everyday family life and entertaining. No expense has been spared in the redesign of this substantial family home. The current owners have created a property which balances modern, timeless interiors with exceptional attention to detail, complemented by an advanced smart home system. The system provides Wifi enabled zonal underfloor heating, seamless voice-controlled operation of the internal and external lighting and electric gated entrance.

Upon arrival, an expansive entrance hall is approached through imposing 2.3m double doors, immediately creating a sense of scale and grandeur. To the right, premium pocket doors open into a beautifully fitted home office, complete with feature bay window and bespoke shelving and cabinetry. Continuing through the entrance hall, which itself benefits from a built-in bar and wine fridge, you arrive at the true centrepiece of the home: the impressive open-plan kitchen, dining and living space.

The bespoke kitchen features a substantial handmade island, a beautifully appointed fitted kitchen and a bespoke Lacanche range cooker complemented by an industrial-style extractor. Designed with entertaining in mind, the kitchen flows seamlessly into the generous dining and social living areas, while extensive glazing provides a wonderful outlook over the rear garden. Several sets of luxury Westbury Windows & Joinery windows, together with two sets of engineered Accoya and European Redwood double doors, flood the space with natural light. Above, a striking Westbury roof lantern enhances the sense of volume and creates a wonderful connection with the garden beyond.

A separate pantry and fitted utility area provide excellent practical storage and include space for an American-style fridge freezer, dishwasher, double sinks, washing machine and tumble dryer. The utility area also provides direct access to the double garage. Adjacent to the open-plan living space is an elegant separate reception room, accessed through further premium pocket doors. This inviting room features a bay window and a gas-fired, log-effect fireplace, providing a more intimate setting away from the main living space. A downstairs WC and generous walk-in storage area complete the ground floor.

Versatile Studio & Garden
Situated to the rear of the property and accessed via the double garage or through a set of Westbury double doors from the garden, a substantial additional studio provides an exceptionally versatile space. Currently used as a home gym, the studio benefits from a large Westbury roof lantern, views over the rear garden and its own WC. Its flexible nature offers the potential to suit a variety of uses, whether as a gym, studio, additional living space or a dedicated area for multi-generational living, subject to any necessary consents.

Bedroom Accommodation
To the first floor, a spacious and well-appointed landing provides access to the principal bedroom accommodation. The impressive principal suite benefits from air conditioning and an extensive en-suite bathroom, featuring a large shower enclosure, freestanding claw-foot bath and separate WC. A dedicated dressing area incorporates bespoke fitted wardrobes and shelving, creating a luxurious and highly practical private retreat. The second bedroom is also arranged as a suite, with bespoke fitted wardrobes and its own en-suite shower room. Completing the first floor is a generous dual-aspect lounge/study, providing an adaptable additional reception space with the potential to serve as an additional double bedroom, if required. The second floor provides a further large double bedroom with its own en-suite shower room. Positioned independently from the principal bedroom accommodation, this floor offers an excellent degree of privacy and flexibility.

The generous frontage provides off-road parking for multiple vehicles, together with space for a boat or caravan.

Extensive external spotlighting creates an atmospheric setting for outdoor entertaining and evening enjoyment, while the southerly aspect allows the garden to make the most of the available sunshine.
