Wimborne Road, Bournemouth, BH11

This beautifully modernised three-bedroom semi-detached character cottage combines original period features with high-quality contemporary finishes, offering a distinctive and well-presented home with generous outside space.

The property has been carefully updated whilst retaining much of its original character, including ornamental cast-iron fireplaces and traditional detailing. These features sit comfortably alongside the modern improvements, with a thoughtful choice of materials and finishes throughout.

The ground floor provides two separate reception rooms, each with its own wood-burning stove. The spacious 20' through lounge features engineered walnut flooring, a fireplace with tiled hearth and inset wood burner, together with bespoke illuminated cabinetry and shelving. Casement doors open directly onto the garden terrace, bringing plenty of natural light into the room and providing an easy connection between the house and garden.

The separate dining room enjoys windows to both the front and side, with an exposed brick chimney breast and second wood-burning stove creating an attractive focal point. This versatile room provides a comfortable space for everyday dining as well as entertaining family and friends.

The fitted kitchen has been finished with solid walnut worktops, a ceramic sink and a selection of integrated appliances, including a gas hob, electric oven, fridge/freezer and slimline dishwasher. Under-unit and plinth lighting, together with wood-effect tiled flooring, complete the kitchen, which also benefits from windows on two sides and direct access to the garden.

A spacious entrance hall provides a welcoming approach to the accommodation, with useful understairs storage. The property also benefits from a mixture of tiled and engineered wood flooring, coved ceilings and carefully considered lighting, contributing to the quality of finish throughout.

On the first floor, the landing features a window with a decorative stained-glass-effect finish above the staircase, adding a further touch of character to the property. There are three double bedrooms, two of which retain ornamental cast-iron fireplaces. The third bedroom is currently arranged as a dressing room with floor-to-ceiling mirrored wardrobes, although it could equally serve as a bedroom or home office.

The family bathroom has been stylishly appointed with a white suite, a combination of tiled and panelled walls, a heated towel rail and underfloor heating, providing a comfortable and practical space.

Outside, the cottage occupies a generous corner plot, with the garden measuring approximately 50' x 45'. Enclosed by brick walling and railings with established planting, the garden offers a good degree of usable space and has been arranged to provide several areas for relaxing and entertaining.

A patio terrace adjoins the house, leading onto a shaped lawn with planted borders. A separate decked seating area with pergola and summerhouse provides an additional place to enjoy the garden during the warmer months.

A particular advantage is the substantial detached garage, measuring approximately 23' x 13'7", with power, lighting and a pitched roof incorporating useful storage space. Gated access from Truman Road leads to a gravelled parking area with room for approximately four to five vehicles, or potentially a motorhome.

There is also a separate external utility room with WC, fitted cupboards, work surface and plumbing for a washing machine, which houses the gas combination boiler.

With its carefully retained character features, well-finished accommodation and unusually generous parking and garaging facilities, this is a particularly appealing cottage offering a combination of charm and practicality.

Viewing is highly recommended to fully appreciate the quality of the accommodation and everything this lovely home has to offer.
