Ferncroft Gardens, Bournemouth

HOUSE & SON £325,000

A particularly impressive three-bedroom detached bungalow, quietly positioned within a small cul-de-sac in this popular and established residential neighbourhood in Northbourne, Bournemouth. Occupying a good-sized plot, the property has been comprehensively improved and maintained by the current owners, with considerable thought, expense and attention to detail evident throughout.

From the moment you step inside, the quality of the accommodation becomes apparent. This is not simply a well-presented home; it is a property where the specification and finish have been carefully considered, with high-quality materials and worthwhile improvements used throughout. The result is a home that feels exceptionally well cared for, cohesive and ready to enjoy.

The spacious 19'10" lounge/diner provides an excellent principal living space, with solid oak flooring continuing through the accommodation and adding a sense of quality and continuity. The kitchen is a particular highlight, having been fitted with a high-quality range of wooden wall-mounted and base units, complemented by solid granite worktops and a comprehensive range of integrated appliances. The quality of the materials and workmanship is immediately apparent, with the kitchen designed as a practical working space as well as an attractive part of the home.

There are three well-proportioned bedrooms, with the principal accommodation served by a beautifully appointed four-piece family bathroom. Further improvements include UPVC double glazing, gas central heating, solid oak flooring, an upgraded electrical consumer unit and a high standard of internal finish throughout.

The attention to detail continues outside. The property is approached via a generous front driveway providing ample off-road parking and leading to the detached garage. Gated side access leads through to the enclosed rear garden, which enjoys a desirable southerly aspect. The garden has been thoughtfully landscaped with mature planting, an artificial lawn and defined areas for outdoor dining and recreation, creating a particularly pleasant and manageable extension of the living accommodation.

The location is equally appealing, being situated within an established residential setting and within walking distance of a range of local amenities, including shops, bus services and facilities for everyday needs.

Properties of this calibre are not often presented to the market. The combination of the detached bungalow, quiet cul-de-sac position, generous driveway, detached garage and southerly-facing garden is complemented by a specification that reflects considerable investment and care. The solid oak flooring, solid granite worktops, quality kitchen, upgraded electrics and carefully considered improvements are indicative of owners who have invested in doing things properly rather than simply carrying out cosmetic improvements.

Offered freehold and with no forward chain, the property is ready for its next owners to move straight in and enjoy. With a motivated seller, we strongly recommend an early internal inspection, as it is only by seeing the property in person that the quality of the finish, materials and attention to detail can truly be appreciated. 

RECEPTION HALLWAY 10' 11" x 5' 7" (3.33m x 1.7m) A welcoming reception hallway is accessed via a UPVC double-glazed front door with borrowed-light windows to the side.

LOUNGE/DINER 19' 10" x 11' 10" into chimney recess (6.05m x 3.61m) A particularly generous and versatile reception room providing ample space for both comfortable seating and dining. The room enjoys a dual aspect, with a UPVC double-glazed window overlooking the front and UPVC double-glazed sliding French doors opening directly onto the rear garden.

Oak flooring continues through the room, while the chimney breast and feature fireplace provide an attractive focal point. The smooth, coved ceiling completes the room, with the French doors providing a wonderful connection with the south-facing garden. 

KITCHEN 13' 10" x 11' 5" into door recess (4.22m x 3.48m) A high-quality fitted kitchen comprising a range of wooden base units beneath granite worktops, complemented by matching wall-mounted cupboards.

A UPVC double-glazed window overlooks the rear garden, while an obscure-glazed UPVC double-glazed door provides useful side access. The room is finished with tiled flooring, recessed spotlights, a smooth ceiling and radiator, with a glazed oak door leading into the reception hallway.

There are two obscure UPVC double-glazed windows, an extractor fan and chrome heated towel rail. 

OUTSIDE The property is approached over a large front driveway, providing generous off-road parking and leading to a detached garage.

The enclosed rear garden enjoys a southerly aspect and has been attractively landscaped with ease of maintenance in mind. There is a good selection of mature planting, an artificial lawned area, and ample space for outdoor dining and recreation.

The south-facing orientation makes this an especially attractive outdoor space, while the sliding French doors from the lounge/diner create a natural connection between the principal living accommodation and garden.
