Blue Cedars, Milner Road, West Cliff, Bournemouth

UNIQUE THREE BEDROOM APARTMENT OF OVER 2,100 SQ FT. PLUS 700 SQ FT SOUTH FACING TERRACE. INTEGRAL DOUBLE GARAGE. SET IN MAGNIFICENT GARDENS A COUPLE OF MINUTES TO CLIFF TOP. SHARE OF FREEHOLD, NO CHAIN.

An extraordinary apartment, in that it feels like a bungalow. Occupying the whole of the ground floor of this block of just four apartments and with an integral garage it measures over 2,100 sq ft plus a south facing block paved terrace of 700 sq ft. This is all set within large beautifully maintained gardens, with a hidden side gate meaning that the cliff top is just a couple of minutes away.

The terrace is uniquely accessed from the breakfast room, the sitting room and the garden room.

This is a probate sale and was in the same ownership for the last 29 years. It comes with a share of freehold and all four apartment owners are directors of the freehold company.

Understandably it will require some modernisation and that is reflected in the price.

Yes, like a bungalow in feel but without the demands of window cleaning, gardening and maintenance to the building.

This is a rare unique gem. Definitely worth a viewing.

AREA DESCRIPTION

This is just a brilliant location, close to the cliff top (less than a minute) and no more than 5 minutes walk to the beach itself. Of course you'll want to see the air show from the beach or cliff top but if you're feeling lazy, you'll catch a lot of it just sitting on your patio.

Yes parking with a double garage and 2 additional parking spaces but will you ever need a car? Bus stops are close at hand on West Cliff Road. From Poole Road there are buses every 3 minutes to Bournemouth and Poole. You can walk to Bournemouth town centre, to Westbourne, to Branksome Railway station (2 hours to London, direct route to Manchester) and to the Redlands Retail Park. In a car you are within a mile of the Wessex Way and at least dual carriageway to the New Forest and the UK motorway network. Plus Bournemouth International Airport is one of the fastest growing in the UK. And from Poole there are ferries to the Channel Islands and France.

For shopping, there is M&S Food in Westbourne. Just beyond that is Tesco and Lidl and at Redlands Retail Park, there are major stores such as John Lewis Home, Next Home, Home Bargains and soon a new M&S. For fashion shopping the close by top end of Bournemouth has Zara and Primark or catch a bus to the famous Castlepoint Shopping Centre, one of the largest in the UK for the likes of M&S, Asda, Sainsbury, Next, Mango and B&Q.

Sport is brilliantly catered for with tennis within walking distance in the Bournemouth Gardens. Close to Blue Cedars the Argyll Gardens Bowling Club (a great place for breakfast and lunch in its café). The area is rich in golf courses - public courses in Bournemouth are at Meyrick Park and Queens Park, or Parkstone Golf Club is in the top 100 courses in the UK. The popular Hallmark Health Club is within walking distance or Everlast Fitness Club is at Redlands Retail Park. You can walk along the beach or the prom all the way to the famous Sandbanks beaches, on the edge of Poole Harbour, the second largest natural harbour in the world. It is a haven to boats of all sizes, as well as being a UK hub for windsurfing and kitesurfing. From Sandbanks, you can catch the chain ferry to the Purbeck Hills. There is a large cycling community and Dorset's Jurassic Coast is a destination for walkers. Or visit the National Trust's Brownsea Island.

Eating out? Where do you start to describe? Westbourne is full of an eclectic mix of eateries and coffee shops, as is Bournemouth. The local Daily Echo ran a recent article 'Why Westbourne is foodie heaven'. Locally Westbourne is considered very much a village with lots of independent shops and the UK's smallest cinema with just 19 seats. The pick of eateries are The Dancing Duck, Indi's. Renoufs cheese and wine bar, the award winning Chez Fred fish 'n chips and a real traditional pub - The Porterhouse. And in Bournemouth there are the entertainment centres at the Pavilion Theatre, Bournemouth International Centre and lots of cinemas and of course the famous nightlife.

Work? Maybe you are at LV or Vitality or Nationwide, in which case you can walk to work. The area has become a significant employer in the South of England. As well as the companies just mentioned, the headquarters of JP Morgan, RNLI, Sunseeker Marine and Merlin Entertainments are all based locally.

Blue Cedars is a perfect place to live.
