Description
Built in 1903, this handsome detached residence is one of the few remaining period homes along Munster Road and has been a much-loved family home for the current owners for over 30 years.
Extending to approximately 4,000 sq ft, the property offers substantial and versatile accommodation arranged over three floors, with up to six bedrooms, four bathrooms and four reception rooms. Generous room proportions, high ceilings, bay windows, exposed beams and fireplaces all contribute to the home’s strong sense of character and individuality.
The ground floor provides an excellent balance of reception and family space, with a series of well-proportioned rooms that could be adapted to suit both formal and more relaxed living. The kitchen and dining areas are similarly generous, offering significant scope for reconfiguration and modernisation to create a more contemporary layout if desired.
On the first floor, the bedrooms are arranged around a spacious landing, with the principal bedroom enjoying distant views towards Poole Harbour. The overall layout, together with the number of bathrooms, lends itself particularly well to larger families or those needing flexible guest and home-working space.
The upper floor is arranged as largely self-contained accommodation with its own bedroom, kitchenette and wet room, having previously been let independently by the current owners. This creates excellent potential for guest accommodation, extended family, older children or ancillary living space.
The property now requires comprehensive renovation and modernisation, but offers exceptional scope to restore and enhance a substantial period home within a generous mature plot. There is also current planning permission for the demolition of the existing house and construction of two detached dwellings.
