An attractive three-bedroom semi-detached period home, combining well-preserved character with a number of thoughtful improvements and a particularly appealing south-facing rear garden. Occupying a popular residential position in Charminster, Bournemouth, the property provides two separate reception rooms, a well-appointed kitchen, three genuine double bedrooms, a stylish bathroom and off-street parking to the front.

A composite front door, with a period-style frosted glass window above, opens into a generous recessed entrance porch with a tiled floor. From here, an original timber door, featuring original leaded glass with a matching leaded-glass panel above, opens into the reception hallway.

The reception hallway immediately gives a sense of the character found throughout the house, with decorative woodwork, an attractive newel post and cap, stripped timber flooring and original timber doors. There is also a generous understairs storage cupboard.

The bay-fronted lounge is a particularly appealing reception room, centred around a cast iron open fireplace. An original timber door with brass furniture opens into the room, while fitted alcove storage either side of the chimney breast adds further to the character and appeal. A large UPVC double-glazed bay window overlooks the front of the property and is fitted with attractive shutter blinds. The room also features a picture rail, distinctive Dorset curve to the ceiling and a stripped and varnished timber floor.

The second reception room is positioned towards the rear of the property and is currently arranged as a family and dining room. Its generous proportions provide plenty of space for both comfortable seating and a dining table, making it a versatile second reception room which can adapt to a variety of requirements.

From here, the accommodation continues naturally through to the kitchen, which has been fitted in an attractive modern style. There is a good range of wall and base units with complementary work surfaces, tiled walls and a fully tiled floor. The dual-aspect room has a UPVC double-glazed window overlooking the rear garden and a glazed side door providing direct access outside.

The kitchen is equipped with a one-and-a-half bowl sink, integrated electric fan oven, gas hob and chimney-style extractor hood, together with space and plumbing for both a dishwasher and a separate washing machine.

The first-floor accommodation is reached via the attractive staircase from the reception hallway, leading to a split-level landing. Stripped timber flooring, a decorative newel post and cap and the continuation of the property's timber doors maintain the sense of character established on the ground floor.

The principal bedroom is positioned at the front of the property and is a generous double bedroom with a large UPVC double-glazed window overlooking Acland Road. The room has a picture rail, a Dorset curve to the ceiling and a stripped and varnished timber floor, together with panelled detailing which complements the character of the room.

Bedroom Two is another well-proportioned double bedroom, positioned towards the rear of the property and enjoying an outlook over the south-facing garden. A UPVC double-glazed window, picture rail, Dorset curve ceiling and stripped and varnished timber floor provide a pleasing continuation of the character found throughout the first floor.

Bedroom Three is also a double bedroom and is currently arranged as a home office and nursery. A large UPVC double-glazed window overlooks the rear garden, while an original picture rail and stripped and varnished timber floor add further character.

The bathroom has been stylishly appointed with part and fully tiled walls and a white suite comprising wash hand basin with vanity storage beneath, low-level WC and a glazed shower enclosure. The shower is fitted with a rainfall shower head and separate handheld attachment. An obscure UPVC double-glazed window is positioned to the side, with a chrome heated towel rail and extractor fan completing the room.

Outside, the south-facing rear garden is one of the property's most appealing features. The current vendors have created an attractive and well-maintained garden, with a generous decked area immediately adjoining the rear of the house providing an excellent setting for outdoor dining and entertaining.

Beyond the decking is an artificial lawn, with mature planting and an attractive ornamental tree providing a pleasant backdrop. The established planting contrasts particularly well against the painted boundaries, which comprise brick walling to one elevation and the rear, with panelled fencing to the other.

The garden also benefits from an external power point and tap, together with a timber storage shed. There is direct side access between the front and rear of the property.

To the front, the property benefits from off-street parking and a dropped kerb.

Acland Road is a popular residential road positioned between the established centres of Charminster and Winton.
