Elmes Road, Bournemouth, Dorset, BH9

Extensively refurbished from roof to flooring, combining original character with modern finishes. Offered for sale with no forward chain.


With three double bedrooms, a generous 26'9" through lounge/dining room and a newly fitted kitchen, this detached home in Elmes Road offers spacious, well-planned accommodation alongside an impressive range of recent improvements. Ornamental fireplaces, picture rails and decorative ceiling details have been retained, giving the house plenty of character whilst benefiting from the comfort and practicality of a modernised interior.

A welcoming entrance hall sets the tone, with attractive tiled flooring, a useful newly created under-stairs cupboard and access to the ground-floor cloakroom.

The through lounge/dining room is a particularly lovely feature of the house, measuring approximately 26'9" in length. A bay window to the front and a further window overlooking the rear garden bring natural light into both areas, while ornamental fireplaces, decorative ceiling details and illuminated recessed shelving add interest and character. There is ample space to accommodate both comfortable seating and a family dining table.

The kitchen measures approximately 15'8" x 10' and has been newly fitted with an extensive range of wall and base units, complemented by tiled splashbacks and flooring. Integrated appliances include a fridge/freezer, dishwasher, ceramic hob and electric oven with extractor hood. A recessed utility area provides space for a washing machine and tumble dryer, while doors offer convenient access to the rear garden.

Upstairs, the spacious landing leads to three well-proportioned double bedrooms. The principal bedroom enjoys a front-facing bay window, while the second bedroom retains an attractive ornamental cast-iron fireplace. The third bedroom is also a comfortable double, offering flexibility for family life, guests or working from home.

The newly fitted family bathroom has been thoughtfully arranged to include both a panelled bath and a separate tiled step-in shower. A wash hand basin with vanity storage, WC, chrome heated towel rail and contemporary tiling complete the room.

The refurbishment extends well beyond the interior finishes. Improvements include a new roof, replacement soffits, fascias and downpipes, additional loft insulation, replacement windows and external doors, new internal doors and radiators, together with updated heating, electrics and drainage. New carpets, tiled flooring and redecoration throughout complete the transformation.

Outside, the front of the property is laid to hardstanding, with gated side access leading to the rear garden. This has also been improved, incorporating patio seating areas, low-level walling and areas prepared with fresh topsoil and grass seed, providing a lovely starting point for the new owners to make the garden their own.

With the major improvements already undertaken and the property offered for sale with no forward chain, this is an appealing opportunity for buyers looking for the character and proportions of an older home without the prospect of a substantial renovation project.

An internal viewing is highly recommended to appreciate the space, presentation and quality of the improvements throughout.
