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.

By joining the properties together, our clients have created an incredible home that centres around a wonderful open plan kitchen, dining and living room that opens to the beautiful rear garden. The current format of the property has worked incredibly well for our clients by allowing them to accommodate family for extended stays and host large social gatherings. The central positioning of the kitchen, dining and living room undoubtedly makes this room the heart of the house and a space for family to come together after enjoying the independence and privacy that the two wings of the property afford.

For multi-generational families or co-dependant relatives, we could not imagine a better design or layout of property. With such a high degree of flexibility in the use of the rooms, the property can provide solutions for a plethora of bespoke needs and requirements.

It should also be noted that the separation of the existing house by the removal of the joining extension/structure is another strong possibility. Previously as two separate detached homes, both properties enjoyed a good degree of separation and privacy, which could easily be reinstated. The homes would also retain very large independent gardens.

By joining the two properties, our clients created a vast double width garden plot that widens further to the rear as it abuts the golf course. The gardens are an absolute triumph and provide the house with a beautiful backdrop that embraces the seasons throughout the year.

In summary, this is a rare opportunity to acquire a property that has endless possibilities. Whilst the property has worked perfectly for our clients for many years and provides perfect accommodation for individual requirements such as co-dependant or multi-generational living, it also provides a vast footprint for a ‘Grand Designs’ home on a double width plot in the area's most sought after location.

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.!
