Heath Farm Close, Ferndown

A Spacious Bungalow With Exceptional Annexe Potential

Guide Price £500,000 - £525,000

A versatile 1,700 sq ft semi-detached bungalow offering exceptional flexibility, a large south-facing garden and the potential to create either a two-bedroom main residence with a two-bedroom annexe, or a self-contained three-bedroom home with a separate one-bedroom annexe.

Properties offering this degree of adaptability are rarely available. Originally arranged to incorporate a self-contained two-bedroom annexe, the accommodation can be configured in a number of ways to suit changing family requirements, making this an ideal opportunity for multi-generational living, independent accommodation for a relative or grown-up child, or those simply looking for additional space and flexibility under one roof.

Set within a popular residential area of Ferndown, the property combines surprisingly generous internal accommodation with an impressive rear garden, substantial parking and an extended garage/workshop.

On entering, a welcoming porch leads into a spacious hallway, from which the principal accommodation is arranged.

The 19ft lounge provides an excellent main reception space, centred around a feature fireplace and enjoying double doors opening into the adjoining dining area. This creates a particularly sociable setting for entertaining and everyday family life.

The dining area incorporates fitted storage and a breakfast bar, with an open archway leading through to the dual-aspect kitchen. The kitchen is fitted with a range of wall and base units, roll-top work surfaces and integrated cooking appliances, together with space and plumbing for a dishwasher. A glazed door provides direct access to the rear garden.

Flexible Accommodation

The property's greatest appeal is the flexibility of its bedroom and living accommodation.

The layout can currently be configured to provide a two-bedroom main house alongside a two-bedroom annexe, offering a particularly attractive arrangement for multi-generational families where two households require their own degree of independence.

Alternatively, the accommodation can be arranged as a self-contained three-bedroom house with a separate one-bedroom annexe. This configuration could be ideal for families wanting a larger principal home while retaining independent accommodation for a relative, guest or older child.

The annexe-style accommodation includes two bedrooms, a family room with patio doors opening onto the garden, an en-suite shower room and a utility room which has previously served as the annexe kitchen. Depending on how the property is configured, these rooms can form part of either the main accommodation or the independent annexe.

This adaptability makes the property particularly appealing to those considering multi-generational living, providing older children with their own space, accommodating visiting family and friends, or creating dedicated work-from-home and hobby areas. Subject to any necessary consents, there may also be scope to explore alternative uses of this versatile accommodation.

A separate office/hobby room provides another useful space and could potentially serve as an additional bedroom, depending on individual requirements.

There is also a separate cloakroom and a family bathroom fitted with a white suite.

Outside

The rear garden is a real feature of the property, extending to approximately 70ft x 40ft and enjoying a desirable southerly aspect.

A large paved patio immediately adjoins the house, with steps leading up to a lawned area extending towards a summerhouse. Established planting, shrubs and well-stocked flower beds provide colour and privacy, while a further gravelled section accommodates a greenhouse alongside another lawned area. A side path leads to a side gate, providing convenient access between the front and rear.

To the front and side, a generous driveway provides extensive off-road parking and leads to the extended 18ft garage/workshop. The garage benefits from double timber doors, power and lighting, together with a rear personal door. The additional workshop area also has power, lighting and its own rear access, offering excellent potential for those requiring storage, workshop or recreational space.

ocation

The property is conveniently positioned for the amenities of Ferndown, with the town centre approximately one mile away. A selection of local amenities can also be found along Glenmoor Road, while Marks & Spencer Simply Food is approximately 400 metres away.

There is a good choice of schools within the surrounding area, including Parley First School, Ferndown First School, Hampreston First School, Ferndown Middle School and Ferndown Upper School.

The Opportunity

With its generous proportions, substantial garden, extensive parking and unusually flexible accommodation, this is a property that can adapt to suit a variety of family circumstances.

Whether configured as a two-bedroom home with a two-bedroom annexe, or a self-contained three-bedroom house with a one-bedroom annexe, the property offers an exciting opportunity to create a home that provides both space and independence, while keeping family members close.
