Benellen Road, Talbot Woods, Bournemouth, Dorset, BH4

A substantial character home extending to approx. 3,000 sq ft, boasting original features and exciting potential, nestled within approximately 0.36 acres in sought-after Talbot Woods.

Believed to date from circa 1913, Brambledown is a substantial detached character residence extending to over 3,000 sq ft, occupying an impressive plot of approximately 0.36 acres. Owned by the same family for approximately 27 years, the property now presents an increasingly rare opportunity to restore and reimagine a significant period home in this sought-after location, while preserving its scale, individuality and original character.

The property retains an abundance of original architectural detail, with parquet flooring, extensive timber joinery, decorative cornicing and ceiling roses, fireplaces, and an impressive staircase all contributing to its distinctive character.

A welcoming entrance hall leads to the principal reception rooms. The impressive sitting room extends to over 23ft, with French doors opening directly onto the garden, while the separate dining room provides further entertaining space. The kitchen/breakfast room measures approximately 27ft and leads to a practical utility room, beyond which is Bedroom 6/study and a shower room, together with internal access to the garage. Benefitting from its own entrance directly from the driveway, this area lends itself particularly well to the creation of a self-contained annexe, guest suite or dedicated home office.

Upstairs, there are five further bedrooms and three bath/shower rooms. The principal bedroom benefits from an adjoining dressing room and en-suite bathroom, while bedroom two also features an en-suite. The remaining three bedrooms are served by the family bathroom. A substantial first-floor balcony overlooks the gardens and can be accessed from two points off the landing.

Outside, the property occupies particularly generous grounds extending between Benellen Road and Walsford Road. Mature trees, planting and multiple garden areas create a wonderfully established setting, while the size and configuration of the approximately 0.36-acre plot add considerably to the property's long-term possibilities. Offering significant scope for refurbishment, remodelling and enhancement, the grounds may also offer future development potential, subject to all necessary planning permissions, consents and title or covenant considerations.

Brambledown occupies a sought-after position within Talbot Woods, one of Bournemouth’s most highly regarded residential areas, particularly popular for its tree-lined roads, excellent schooling, superb leisure facilities and convenient access to both the coast and amenities.

Park School and both Bournemouth's girls' and boys' grammar schools are also within easy reach, all approximately 3.5 miles or less from the property.

Brambledown is also ideally positioned to enjoy all that Westbourne Village has to offer, approximately 0.6 miles away on foot and 1.1 miles by car.
