Set discreetly within a private plot of just over half an acre in the heart of Christchurch, this exceptional detached family residence has been comprehensively refurbished to an impressive standard. The rear garden is fully enclosed by brick walls, offering excellent privacy, while the open frontage creates an elegant and welcoming approach.

The current owners have undertaken major redecoration throughout, with every room re-floored, creating a seamless and contemporary flow across the home. The result is a property that feels refined, cohesive and effortlessly ready to move into.

This space connects naturally with the surrounding reception rooms, providing excellent versatility for formal dining, relaxed evenings or hosting on a larger scale.

The ground floor offers multiple reception areas, including a welcoming living room, formal dining room and a cosy snug, all arranged around a central reception hall that immediately sets the tone for the home’s sense of space and proportion. Practicality has been carefully considered with the addition of a utility room, cloakroom and internal access to the garage.

Upstairs, the first floor continues to impress with five bedrooms in total, comprising four well-proportioned double bedrooms alongside a fifth single bedroom, ideal for a child’s room, nursery or dressing room. The substantial principal bedroom benefits from en-suite facilities, while a modern family bathroom, newly fitted in 2023, serves the remaining bedrooms and is finished with sleek contemporary fittings and a calm, spa-like feel.

A particular highlight of the property is the exceptional room above the garage. Far more than a typical ancillary space, this is a generous, well-proportioned and highly versatile room, perfectly suited as a premium home office, studio, gym, guest suite or private retreat. Finished to a high standard and offering excellent flexibility, it feels like a true extension of the main accommodation rather than an afterthought.

Outside, the grounds are a true highlight. Occupying just over half an acre, the plot is fully enclosed by boundary walls, offering exceptional privacy and security. A sweeping driveway provides extensive parking, while the beautifully maintained gardens create a sense of space and tranquillity. A summer house sits within the grounds, perfect for entertaining, hobbies or quiet retreat, with ample outdoor space for family life, relaxation and hosting.

This is a home that effortlessly combines generous proportions, modern upgrades and a substantial private plot, all within a sought-after Christchurch location.
