Wick Lane, Bournemouth

A UNIQUE OPPORTUNITY to acquire this single story bungalow set in one of the MOST DESIRABLE PARTS of WICK VILLAGE, coming to market for the first time in over 25 years. Potential to create a long term home in a highly sought after location. All just a few minutes’ walk from Hengistbury Head.

This bungalow offers something special and is coming to market for the first time in 25 years. A rare opportunity to acquire a property that offers huge potential to create a long term home in one of the most desirable locations, set in the popular Wick Village. Only steps away from scenic walks along the River Stour, and within a short distance of Tuckton Tea Gardens and the Priory Town of Christchurch. Access to the town centre, which has a full range of amenities, including a large Waitrose supermarket and several popular restaurants and bars, can be gained on foot via the nearby Wick pedestrian ferry, or a five minute drive by car.

The bungalow is located at the very end of Wick Lane and is thus in a very quiet position with little vehicular traffic. A path opposite the property provides direct access to Hengistbury Head Nature Reserve and the reed beds of Wick Fields. This wild and unspoilt headland offers lovely walks and access to a stunning coastline with sandy beaches. A wooden walkway leads to a path across the nature reserve and on to Mudeford Sandspit and Hengistbury Beach, while Southbourne Beach is less than a mile away and about a 12 minute walk.

The property is set back to provide a large front garden with an array of mature shrubs and small trees. The driveway extends to the garage and has ample parking for at least three motor vehicles.

The property benefits from double glazing throughout, full central heating system with a gas fired boiler. There is a newly installed electrical consumer unit adhering to current regulations.

The main entrance door leads to a central hallway off which, to the front of the property, is a large lounge/dining room with an impressive bay aspect looking out to the garden, complemented by a side aspect ensuring a lovely light room. There is an open fireplace, the carpet runs throughout and the room is decorated in neutral colours.

The kitchen/breakfast room is adjacent and set out in an 'L' shape with a utility cupboard that houses the boiler and plumbing for a washing machine. A tiled worktop extends around two sides of the kitchen, with a stainless steel sink beneath a window to the front aspect. There is a wide selection of wood fronted eye-line wall and base units with space for under-counter appliances. Currently integrated is a gas hob with an extractor above and eye-line integrated double oven. A door to the rear of the kitchen provides access to the rear garden and a small patio area to the side of the property. The kitchen has vinyl flooring.

The bungalow has three good sized double bedrooms, the largest of which is set to the back of the property and benefits from an en-suite WC and pedestal sink. All the bedrooms have neutral decor and carpets throughout. There are fitted wardrobes in two of the bedrooms, one of which includes up and over storage around the bed. The design of the property in its current configuration ensures that all bedrooms have views to the rear garden.

A key factor of the property is the two full size family bathrooms, which are adjacent each other. One consists of a bath with electric shower over and concertina glass enclosure, pedestal wash basin with vanity unit, a WC, with vinyl flooring and partial tiled walls. The other has an electric shower unit over a sit in bath, pedestal wash basin, WC, vinyl flooring, fully tiled walls and a vanity unit with lights.

The rear garden is lovely and private and has great potential to create a landscaped outdoor space.

There is a good sized integral garage, providing ample storage and electrical points.

The property offers tremendous scope to reconfigure internally and extend into the loft space (STPP) if needed. The highlight is the desirable location. Viewing is highly recommended to fully appreciate this opportunity.
