A UNIQUE OPPORTUNITY TO ACQUIRE A SUBSTANTIAL RESIDENCE standing in Park Like GROUNDS OF ABOUT 1.3 ACRES (0.526 Ha) with Possible Development Potential (Subject to P/P) and only a Few Moments from the Centre of West Moors


The Property - comprises a substantial brick and tiled family residence constructed in the early 1970s and within the same family as a residence since construction. It stands in wonderful park like grounds with the main area of formal garden extending to about 0.8 of acre (0.3305 of a hectare) and a high level of maturity including many specimen trees and shrubs and good privacy. There is a further area of woodland garden to the West of the main garden fully accessible there from which extends to about 0.5 of an acre (0.2155 of a hectare). The house will now benefit from updating and enhancement but does have the benefit of gas fired central heating by radiators (boiler approximately 5 years old), UPVC framed double glazing and cavity wall insulation. The property is brought to the market with the benefit of no forward chain and in our opinion the property could well have potential for further development within the grounds subject to the constraints of Tree Preservation Orders on selected trees in the main garden and in the woodland area and to the requirements of the Planning Department of Dorset Council. The selection of shops and other amenities in the centre of West Moors are only a few moments away and main road links to other centres including FERNDOWN, WIMBORNE, BOURNEMOUTH and POOLE.

The Grounds in which the property stands are an exceptional feature of the property giving it delightful setting. Natural screening is by a mixture of hedges and shrubs with high hedges
at the front screening the property from Glenwood Road and a driveway giving access to extensive pavior parking area at the front of the house and leading down the side to the Double Garage. Across the rear of the house is a covered patio measuring 38ft by 7ft with a sunken terrace area beyond and the main area of formal Garden has large expanses of lawn interspersed with shrubs and specimen trees. The area of lightly wooded garden is to the west of the formal garden and provides further privacy to the main garden.

In our opinion there is considerable potential for additional development within the boundaries of No. 16 depending on the requirements of the local Planning Authority and subject to Tree Preservation Orders on selected trees within the main area of formal garden and covering the bulk of the trees on the woodland area.
