Wood Lane, Bearwood, Bournemouth, BH11

This is a rare opportunity to purchase an extremely attractive 1930’s Arts and Crafts style, three bedroom, three reception room detached character family home which has a 145ft rear garden, single garage and driveway, whilst occupying a secluded plot measuring approximately ½ an acre. The property retains much of its original charm and character and now offers enormous scope for modernisation and extension (subject to the relevant permissions) ideal for anyone looking for a project or for a forever home, that could be improved and extended over their time in occupation. This lovely property is looking for its next caring owners.

‘Longacre’ has been a much loved home to the family since they purchased it in 1963 and has also been enjoyed by many generations of grandchildren and great-grandchildren in that time. The edge of woodland and countryside location helped make ‘Longacre’ a uniquely happy place in which to grow up, whilst being able to appreciate and enjoy its wonderful setting.

Wherever you are in the property when you glance out of the window the aspect is of beautiful greenery offering total privacy and the feeling of tranquillity.

Longacre’s semi-rural location on the northern edge of the conurbation in Bearwood enables ready access to the towns of Poole, Bournemouth, Ferndown and Wimborne whilst not being subsumed within them. It is set in the elevated panhandle cul de sac area of Wood Lane with just five other properties affording a rural feeling in a convenient setting.
