Beautiful restored character home in the heart of Canford Cliffs

Description

‘Two Gables’ is an apt name for this beautiful and enchanting character home with its elegant two gables to the front elevation. It offers the desirable combination of timeless traditional architecture with modern and contemporary interiors for modern day luxury living at its finest.

The opportunities to acquire character homes in the area are becoming increasingly rare as many older homes are frequently replaced with new houses. It has been lovingly refurbished, remodelled and extended by the current owners who were keen to retain the characterful integrity of the house whilst also delivering on the needs and comforts of today’s modern day living. It’s the first time in over 50 years that the property has been fully advertised for sale as the current owners purchased off market.

Set proud and wide on its 0.41 acre plot, this charming home has a good size driveway that provides parking for a number of cars. The attractive front porch and pretty pink door very much sets the tone of the beautiful accommodation behind the front door. An entrance lobby leads through to a ground floor bedroom/study room and to the bright and light entrance hall with wine storage.

There is a charming formal sitting room with attractive features including window seat to the bay window, panelling and fire place plus an additional sitting room that could be used as a study or playroom. A well-appointed contemporary shower room serves as a cloakroom and shower facility for the ground floor bedroom.

The spacious and light filled open plan kitchen/dining/sitting room delivers a real wow factor with sky light windows and bi folding doors overlooking the delightful rear garden. There is a stunning shaker style kitchen with beautiful quartz work tops and a good range of Smeg appliances. The utility room off the kitchen can accommodate both a washer and dryer and has a convenient side door.

To the first floor is a bright landing with access to a balcony. The superb main bedroom suite has a striking vaulted ceiling, walkthrough fitted wardrobes, and a luxurious shower room with dual sinks. Bedroom two also has the benefit of it’s own shower room. There are two further good sized bedrooms served by a beautiful family bathroom with separate bath and shower.

Externally, there is a superb sized level rear garden for its Canford Cliffs location that is mostly laid to lawn with a large patio area for al fresco dining and entertaining plus a raised garden bed. There is a detached garage with ancillary accommodation behind that comprises a bedroom and shower room.

We thoroughly recommend a viewing to fully appreciate the interiors, garden and it’s first class location being only approximately 800 metres from the local sandy beach.
