4 bed detached house for sale

Branksome Wood Road, Bournemouth BH2

A unique opportunity to acquire a substantial detached home with a commanding positioning on a generous garden moments from the centres of both Bournemouth and Westbourne. Currently arranged as two large apartments, the property could be easily reconverted by simply removing a partitioning wall to create an impressive detached character home. If you're looking for a house which gives you the opportunity to personalise the nature of your home environment (without being too much of a project), this could be a fantastic option for you.

With a commanding position on a highly sought after road moments from the centres of both Bournemouth and Westbourne, this detached property is well positioned on a generous garden plot which offers an incredibly high degree of privacy to the rear.

Currently arranged as two large self contained apartments, the property could be easily reconverted to a single dwelling with the simple removal of a partitioning wall (which we believe to be studwork). The removal of this wall would allow the staircase and hallway to be reinstated to the original layout of the property. But the possibilities don't end there, as the first floor arrangement of rooms allows for the introduction of an ensuite bathroom to the primary bedroom, and a cavernous landing affords the necessary space for an extension of the staircase to large loft area, which in turn could be converted to a spacious bedroom suite.

Whilst there are tremendous opportunities to easily and affordably alter the existing layout, it may be that for some buyers the existing arrangement could be ideal. Multi-generational families who are looking to coexist with relatives could retain a sense of privacy whilst enjoying the immediacy and peace of mind that 'being next door' to loved ones brings. We also shouldn't ignore the fact that the current layout also presents investment opportunities to owners who may appreciate a second income from holiday lets, or longer term rentals.

When we step outside and go into the rear garden, you feel like you've stepped into a whole different world. The maturity of the gardens of give a true sense of privacy (as can be seen from the photos) and it wouldn't take a lot to further enhance the gardens so they could become a real feature of this home.

Selfishly, we'd loved to see this house return to it's former glory (it would be pretty easy to do so in our opinion) and with a little love and attention you could create a fabulous looking property with a true sense of space. As the property is currently registered with two Council Tax bands (C) for each apartment we are unable to give the Tax Band as a single dwelling. Previously the Council Tax Band for the property as a detached dwelling was (F).
