Shaftesbury Road, Bournemouth, Dorset, BH8

Roberts are pleased to offer for sale this ground floor character converted flat, set within a charming detached Edwardian-era property located on Shaftesbury Road in Bournemouth (BH8). The road is characterised by similarly styled period homes, and only the keenest eye would recognise the building as a converted property rather than a substantial detached house.

The location is conveniently positioned within easy reach of local amenities, including those found along Charminster Road, and approximately a 20-minute walk from Bournemouth railway station, providing direct rail links to London. There is also excellent access to the A338 for routes out of town by car. Nearby green space can be found at Queens Park.

The Accommodation

Accessed via the communal entrance, the flat's front door opens directly into the lounge reception room. This attractive space features high ceilings, a bay window, and a cast iron fire surround which creates a characterful focal point.

A doorway leads through to a spacious kitchen/diner, fitted with a feature island unit/breakfast bar and a generous range of storage cupboards. Appliances include an integrated electric oven and hob, along with space and plumbing for a washing machine and an American-style fridge/freezer.
A useful separate utility area is positioned off the kitchen, providing additional worktop space, shelving, cloak storage, and space for a tumble dryer.

An inner lobby with window gives access to a well-presented bathroom fitted with a white suite, while also leading through to a generously sized double bedroom. The bedroom benefits from a substantial range of fitted wardrobes with overhead storage, along with an additional cupboard housing the gas central heating combination boiler.

Double casement doors from the bedroom open onto a private south-facing courtyard garden. Partially canopied, this outdoor area offers an ideal balance of sunshine and shade during warmer months. The space has the feel of an oversized balcony or roof terrace, being easy to maintain while enjoying excellent privacy and all-day natural light.

The walled front garden is also conveyed with the property, although the upstairs neighbour retains a right of access to their garage. Subject to vehicle size, this area may offer potential for parking a smaller car, or alternatively could continue to serve as an ornamental garden space.
