Gorselands Court, Ferndown, BH22 8

Accommodation

Occupying a desirable top floor position within Gorselands Court, this exceptional three double bedroom apartment offers a rare combination of impressive proportions, an abundance of natural light and a superb standard of presentation. Extensively modernised and improved by the current owners, the apartment has a wonderfully bright and airy feel throughout and really does need to be viewed internally to fully appreciate both the sheer scale of the accommodation and the quality of finish on offer.

One of the most striking aspects of the property is just how light it feels. Its elevated top floor position, generous windows and south facing aspect allow natural light to flood through the principal living accommodation, creating a home that feels open, welcoming and considerably larger than many apartments on the market. At the heart of the home is the superb living room, measuring over 20ft in length and centred around an attractive marble fireplace with a remote controlled electric fire, providing an impressive space for both everyday living and entertaining.

Patio doors open directly from the living room onto the south facing balcony, creating a natural extension of the living accommodation and further enhancing the sense of light and space. An open archway connects the living room with a separate dining room, providing two clearly defined reception areas whilst retaining a sociable flow between the spaces. The proportions throughout are particularly impressive and offer the flexibility to accommodate substantial furniture without compromising the open and airy feel of the home.

The kitchen has been completely modernised and is immaculately presented, with an excellent range of contemporary cabinetry, generous work surfaces and an extensive selection of integrated Neff appliances. These include a microwave, warming drawer, hide and slide oven with pyrolytic self-cleaning function, dishwasher and a large induction hob. Further thoughtful touches include motorised wall cupboards, under-cupboard and floor-level lighting, a 1.5 bowl sink and a feature tap with pull-out, spray and illuminated functions. A breakfast bar provides space for informal dining, while hidden electric sockets integrated within the worktop help maintain the kitchen's clean and contemporary finish.

A separate utility room is another valuable feature, providing further storage and keeping laundry appliances away from the main kitchen. The apartment is served by a combination boiler which is approximately four years old.

All three bedrooms are genuine doubles, something increasingly difficult to find within apartment living. The principal bedroom is particularly generous and benefits from fitted wardrobes together with its own beautifully finished en-suite shower room.

Bedrooms two and three continue the impressive proportions and both benefit from fully fitted wardrobes and cupboards, providing excellent storage while retaining plenty of usable floor space. They offer considerable flexibility whether required as permanent bedrooms, generous guest accommodation or a substantial home office.

The main shower room has also been comprehensively modernised and is finished to the same immaculate standard as the rest of the property. Both bathrooms benefit from mirrors which automatically demist when in use, while the heated towel rail within the en-suite can operate from the central heating or independently via electricity, particularly useful during the milder autumn months when the central heating may not otherwise be required.

The kitchen, shower room and en-suite are particularly impressive and reflect the considerable investment and attention to detail the current owners have put into the apartment since purchasing it.

Further improvements include triple glazed windows and brand new carpets throughout, complementing the extensive modernisation and creating a home where very little is required other than to move in and enjoy it.

Another significant advantage is the exceptional amount of storage available. The apartment itself benefits from four large storage cupboards, in addition to the extensive fitted storage within the bedrooms and kitchen. Further storage is available within the garage, making this an especially practical proposition for anyone downsizing from a larger home without wanting to compromise on space for belongings.

Lift access within the building provides convenient access to the top floor, further adding to the practicality of the apartment and making the generous accommodation accessible without the maintenance demands associated with a similarly sized house.

The property is offered with a share of freehold, with service charges currently approximately £2,400 per annum.

Outside

A particular highlight of the apartment is its south facing balcony, accessed directly from the main living room. With plenty of space for outdoor seating and an excellent sunny aspect, it provides a wonderful private outside area and a natural extension of the living accommodation during the warmer months. Two outside lights and an electrical socket further enhance the usability of the space.

The balcony has been further enhanced with a high-quality automated retractable awning, providing shade when required. Thoughtfully designed, the system incorporates a wind sensor which can automatically retract the awning when wind speeds reach a predetermined level, as well as a timer function allowing it to be programmed to retract automatically.

Gorselands Court is surrounded by established and well-maintained communal grounds, with residents also benefiting from off-road parking.

The apartment has its own private garage, which has also been significantly improved by the current owners. The garage entrance has been extended to better accommodate the width of modern vehicles and is fitted with an electric roller door. Light and power are available internally, while the garage also provides valuable additional storage space.

Location

Gorselands Court occupies a convenient position on Glenmoor Road, within easy reach of Ferndown town centre and its excellent range of everyday amenities.

Ferndown offers a broad selection of shops, cafés, restaurants and leisure facilities, together with excellent access to surrounding countryside and numerous opportunities for walking and recreation.

The location also provides convenient road connections towards Bournemouth, Poole, Wimborne and Ringwood, allowing easy access to the wider Dorset area and the south coast.

It is rare to find an apartment that combines this degree of space, natural light, storage and quality of presentation. With three substantial double bedrooms, two reception areas, a beautifully modernised interior, south facing balcony, lift access and an upgraded private garage, this is an outstanding home where an internal viewing is essential to fully appreciate everything on offer.
