Little Forest Road, Talbot Woods, BH4

As can be seen from the floor plan of the existing property, both of the original homes were joined with a central extension that is situated to the rear of a large garage. The previous boundary line historically ran between the two homes, which gave each property a good degree of separation and privacy.

Prior to the extension, which currently joins the two properties being introduced, both homes held many strong attributes as detached houses with large gardens, five separate ground floor rooms and three bathrooms. The original layout of each home has been retained, and individual kitchens could be easily reintroduced to both properties as the utilities and plumbing are already located in the correct areas.

Whilst to separate the existing house the removal of the joining extension/structure would be necessary, it is also an obvious option for part of the central section to be retained. This would significantly increase the floor area of both homes whilst still offering plentiful space between the houses, so they are recognised as being fully detached with a good degree of privacy.

By cojoining the two properties, our clients created a vast garden plot that widens to the rear as it abuts the golf course. As can be seen from the aerial photography, the division of the existing plot will mean that each home still retains an enviable amount of garden that exceeds most others in the area. The gardens are an absolute triumph and provide each home with a beautiful backdrop that embraces the seasons throughout the year.

As there is no pre-determined degree of separation to the conjoined structure between the properties, interested parties will have the ability to decide what could work best for them in this area. Whether that be retaining some of the current structure to create a large kitchen/dining and lifestyle room opening to the rear garden or alternatively opting for more open space between the neighbouring property – the possibilities are literally endless.

To discuss all of the options in more detail or to understand the existing arrangements more comprehensively, please don’t hesitate to contact our offices.

Little Forest Road is undoubtedly one of the most sought-after roads in the area, and this property enjoys a superb positioning on the road with a south westerly rear garden and direct gated access to Meyrick Park Golf Course (from the golf course you can also walk through the Bournemouth Gardens directly to the beach).

Not only are the highly regarded Talbot Heath Schools and Bournemouth Collegiate nearby, but the shopping and recreational facilities of Westbourne are close at hand. Another thing we really like about the location of this house is that surrounding areas such as the historic towns of Wimborne and Christchurch are within easy travelling distance as are the beautiful open spaces of the New Forest.

Road and rail transport links connect the area to London and other major cities whilst Bournemouth International Airport caters for travel further afield. In summary, the property enjoys a peaceful yet highly convenient location close to beaches, golf courses, amenities and open countryside – basically it’s the South Coast with A-levels, in our opinion.!
