Keswick Road, Boscombe Manor, Bournemouth, BH51LR

What’s On Offer?
A substantial, welcoming home that’s been cherished for the memories it’s helped create, now ready for a few family. Despite large rooms, a versatile layout and over 3000ft of space, there’s a homely vibe here that’s inviting and comforting. A proper family hub.
Meters from our sandy beaches, moments from favourite eateries, watering holes and social spots and set within a popular neighbourhood, it doesn’t get much better than this.



Parking.
There’s plenty of it! A surprisingly large full width driveway accommodates several large vehicles and has proved very helpful over Christmas, when hosting parties and when everyone in the house had a car! Those with campers, special vehicles and even small boats can rest easy. Secure thanks to iron gates and with plenty of on-road parking for extras, parking isn’t something you’ll worry about here. You’ll also have access to a large garage from the driveway, for special vehicles, bikes, sports equipment and well, everything else!

We actually finished our valuation visit with a drink in the front driveway around a bistro set…it’s that spacious and private at the front! Nestled amongst the shrub borders and with a salty sea breeze, the owners often find themselves here for coffee, work and reading.



Inside.
Through the porch, you’ll enter into a large entrance hallway that feels grand. To give you an idea of how useful this space is, the current owners have used it as a dance floor during a birthday party! Kick your coats and shoes off and you can proceed into the first reception room, nip through to the kitchen, or head upstairs. There’s also a very handy downstairs WC off this hallway.

The front lounge is a brilliant size, boasting a huge bay window and dual aspect windows with shutters to the south. Currently home to several large sofas and love seats, it’s easy to plan out how you’ll furnish this room. High ceilings and a sense of cosy grandeur start here. Through double doors you’ll move into the second reception room, overlooking the rear garden via floor to ceiling . When opened up these two rooms connect for a great communal space for daily family life/ great parties and when closed off, create useful separate areas and even the opportunity for a ground floor bedroom, with direct garden access and a doorway to the dining room (see floor plan).
The third reception room is currently a dining space, with room for a large dining set plus furniture all overlooking the rear garden.

The kitchen is split in two with an arch that currently separates the prep/ cooking space and storage/ extra white goods. Two sinks, space for a large fridge freezer, integral double ovens, dishwasher and lots of cupboards above and below ample workshop surfaces. Many buyers will refresh the kitchen and we’re looking forward to seeing what plans you have! There’s a private door into the garage from the kitchen, which is handy as the owners currently have a utility area setup there, with plenty of space remaining for a vehicle and lots of storage.

Bedrooms are spread across the first and second floors, with the primary en suite bedroom alone at the top. 5 bedrooms on the first floor are either double or king sizes and three of them have en suite shower rooms. No more arguments over who gets the ‘small’ room, and plenty of space for guests. Three of these bedrooms have dual aspect windows for added natural light and one even boasts a spacious balcony over the rear garden..perfect for morning coffees, a secluded sunny reading spot and a great connection to the outdoors.

A large landing, stairs to the second floor and a family bathroom with both bath and shower complete the first floor.

Top Floor.
The primary bedroom that sits atop of this home was a 2016 conversion, that feels like it was always there. This is a solid, calm space with multiple aspect windows and Juliette balcony, sea glimpses and a cleverly packaged en suite shower room. Two Velux windows in the en suite are electronically operated, closing automatically when sensing rain. A surprisingly spacious shower and smart integral storage, plus heated towel rail make this a very usable, considered room.

Once again you’ll have room for a large bed, furniture and lounging ability and there’s lots of hidden eaves storage and built-in wardrobe space. Light pours in from triple aspect windows (we love the shutters!) and tri folding patio doors for the Juliette balcony; frosted glass means you can enjoy croissants under the covers with the doors wide open- dreamy!



Outside.
We’ve touched on the huge parking ability at the front, but our favourite part of the outside to this home is the ‘secret garden’ vibe at the back.

Sectioned for different purposes, be it an al fresco dinner at the large outside dining table, manicuring plants in the various borders or enjoying evening drinks on the secluded rear decking, you’ll do it all in privacy and peace. A large outbuilding has had several purposes over the years- a gym, home office and an amazing sleepover spot! We think it’s primed to become an annexe, or maybe an amazing home bar, with insulation, power, lighting, windows and patio doors, the possibilities are aplenty! The owners even had planning permission to connect this building with the main home (now lapsed).

The garden is low maintenance, but is brimming with potential for green fingered buyers; with a manageable lawn area, raised borders and high fencing, you’ll feel cocooned in your very own seaside sanctuary!



Agent Note.
Buyers will enjoy peace of mind here with PIR sensor lights front and rear, a house alarm system plus sensor lighting throughout the home.
Those wanting to store special vehicles off-road will rejoice with the double garage, whilst others will no doubt have plans to repurpose this space.
Offered with NO FORWARD CHAIN for a speedy deal.



The Location? Salty Hair, Sandy Toes.
Keswick Road sits within a very popular neighbourhood of Boscombe Manor- a conservation area just moments from clifftop walks and sandy beaches that stretch for miles. You’ll be in Southbourne High Street in no time, enjoying the vast choice of eateries, bars, independent shops and coffee shops on offer. Public transport links are well located, with bus routes throughout the conurbation and beyond and Pokesdown Train Station (with direct trains to London) just 15 minutes away by foot. It's minutes from your front door to the beach. Boscombe beach provides some of the best waves in our area for surfing and there are more and more clubs, communities and activities along our immediate coastline every week. Whether you’re after sandy sunrise walks or hardcore promenade runs, you’ve got it all! Other nearby gems include Shelley Park Tennis Courts, Boscombe Cliff Bowling Club and Bournemouth Collegiate School (BCS).

You’ll be living within striking distance of Hengistbury Head, Christchurch, Southbourne, Westbourne and Poole. You’ll benefit from the best of what the area has to offer, without the hustle and bustle of town centre madness!



This Home Pairs Well With...
Bustling families, expanding families and those looking to combine families and live with parents. It’s for those wanting a truly flexible floor plan right next to the beach!
It’s for buyers that want the ability to walk to their favourite place to eat, drink and shop.
