Smugglers Lane North, Christchurch, BH23

Description

This charming three-bedroom detached cottage is ideally positioned on a generous corner plot in a highly sought-after residential area of Highcliffe, within the desirable Highcliffe School catchment and just a short walk from local amenities. A well-proportioned character property with an internal footprint approaching 1,200 sq. ft., it offers significant potential and scope for modernisation throughout.

Planning permission has also been granted for a contemporary detached home to be built in place of the existing property, presenting an exciting development opportunity. In addition to the approved plans, the property also offers further potential for enhancement or redevelopment, subject to the necessary planning consents.

A viewing is highly recommended to fully appreciate the scope and possibilities this well-located home has to offer.

Internally

Internally, the home offers flexible accommodation to suit a variety of lifestyles, including two generous reception rooms – a spacious lounge/diner featuring a striking floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace, and a second reception room with a skylight and views over the garden, ideal as a formal dining room or snug perhaps. A good-sized kitchen provides ample floor and eye-level cabinetry, space for freestanding appliances, and room for a breakfast table. The ground floor also includes a convenient WC and a third bedroom that could alternatively serve as a home office while a door from the hallway opens into the garage. Upstairs, there are two double bedrooms, each with fitted wardrobes, and a three-piece family bathroom.

Externally

Externally, the property enjoys a south-easterly facing, private rear garden, beautifully secluded by mature trees and shrubbery, predominantly laid to lawn with a patio area directly accessed from the reception room—ideal for outdoor dining or entertaining. A driveway to the front provides off-road parking for two vehicles, access to the up and over door of the double garage and a secure side gate that gives access to the rear garden and entry to the property itself.
