Haig Avenue, Poole, Dorset, BH13

Substantial character home with large, sunny and private rear garden, an exciting opportunity with potential to remodel/extend STPP to create an incredible family forever home.

This wonderful home has been in the same family for almost 60 years and now represents an exciting opportunity to create a forever home for your family.

Set on Haig Avenue, a quiet cul-de-sac close to Parkstone Golf course with a reputation for luxurious homes, friendly neighbours and a real sense of community.

The house is full of potential starting with the generous driveway frontage that may offer scope for a carriage driveway (STPP). The Arts & Crafts architecture ensures impressive kerb appeal with a huge original wooden front door making every arrival home an occasion.

A spacious entrance hall with beautiful carved staircase and original wood panelling welcome you inside. To one side a living room measuring almost 27ft in length spans the full width of the property with front and rear aspect glazing, views over the manicured rear gardens and a pretty feature fireplace.

A further front reception room, dining room and kitchen are all spacious and make sense in the traditional floorplan. The layout is also very convenient if you are looking to facilitate the creation of open plan family space with a focus on the connection to the garden. This could work either with or without the addition of a single storey rear extension to maximise comfort and space for relaxed family life (STPP).

A useful boot room, a utility room connecting to the integral garage, and a guest w/c complete the ground floor.

The sweeping staircase takes you to the first floor galleried landing with access to up to five double bedrooms. The principal suite faces the front aspect and includes a dressing room with fitted storage and ensuite bathroom. Bedroom two is a further generous double room to the front aspect. Bedrooms three and a playroom interconnect and could work well for children, or as an opportunity to create a further ensuite bathroom suite. Bedroom four has a rear aspect overlooking the pretty gardens. A split toilet/family bathroom completes the layout.

On the market with no forward chain viewing is highly recommended to appreciate this rare and beautiful home and the remarkable potential on offer.
