This 3 bedroom bungalow provides you with an ideal oppurtunity to make your mark on your new home. It offers loads of potential, whether that be a downstairs modernisation or a designer doubling in size is up to you.
The house is within the Twyhnam catchment area and a few minutes walk to its junior school, St Catherine's Hill nature reserve, local shops and convenient access to the A338 and Christchurch train station.
You enter the house via a porch into a open central foyer, from which, all the rooms lead.
The front 2 rooms with their large windows flood with sunlight in the morning. These are brightly decorated but could easily become more refined. They look out onto a front garden of lawn, pond, colourful shrubs and fragrent flowers which also give extra privacy.
There is a third double bedroom in the middle of the house and in contrast to the other bedrooms it is calm and peaceful.
Across the foyer is a separate toilet, as playful as a toilet can be. Beside it, a fully tiled bathroom with a nice shower cubicle and sink, functional, but unless you like pink peach could do with making special.
Towards the rear of the house is the lounge. Large enough to have a large family dinning table and relaxing couches, and you will love the chic built in woodburner that becomes a mesmerising focal point in winter. The lounge has a wide bay window allowing you to look out over a back garden of lawn, chickens , mostly evergreen shrubs and the woodlands beyond. It is a lush, suprisingly private space.
Beside the lounge is the kitchen. Lots of cupboards, a bit of a breakfast bar, plenty of worktops, everything a kitchen requires, including the gas combi boiler, all working, but all waiting for someone to create a kitchen they will love.
The back door opens onto a large raised patio, a favourite spot to relax, to bathe in afternoon and evening sun, and perfect for outdoor dining and entertaining. A driveway runs along the side of the house with plenty of space to park cars or boats. You can also use the extended garage as intended or potentially a workshop, office or garden room.
But to really appreciate this house's potential you need to go upstairs. At present this is accessed by a loft ladder pulled down into the centre of the foyer, but there is ample room for a staircase. Upstairs was reinforced, boarded out and converted into hobby work rooms, but such space entices thoughts of developement and adding value.
Many of the houses along Suffolk Avenue have been enlarged and lofts converted, taking their value to above £600,000. We explored this option and BCP granted full planning permission for a considerable loft and rear extension. ( Application reference: 8/23/0404/HOU) . But as our children have finished their Twyhnam education we have decided to direct our energies elsewhere leaving you to take advantage of the cheapest house with the most potential in this area.
You will be dealing directly with the present owners. Don't miss out, get in touch and we look forward to meeting the new owners.
