Sundial Cottage, Sandbourne Road, Bournemouth, BH4

On entering the property there is an impressive, centrally positioned reception hallway with a wide galleried staircase, a useful cloakroom and an entrance vestibule. The living room has many character features such as a large, almost ‘inglenook’ fire recess and ceiling panelling, and the room is flooded with light from windows at either end. A sun/garden room is accessed from the living room which is ideal for year-round enjoyment of the gardens. The separate dining room is sensibly located next to the kitchen and enjoys views over the garden. The kitchen/dining room is dual aspect and currently offers plentiful space for a dining table and island unit. Should a larger kitchen/family/lifestyle area be preferred, the existing layout of the ground floor could easily accommodate the joining of the kitchen and separate dining room to create a wonderful space that opens to the gardens. There is also a useful utility room that enjoys direct access to the gardens.

The principal bedroom is a superb size and enjoys the benefit of a spacious ensuite bathroom with a dressing room and a full-width balcony with sea views. There are two further bedrooms on the first floor which have the use of the family bathroom. A spiral staircase rises from the galleried landing to the second floor where there is a bedroom suite with private bathroom and sauna.

To the front of the property, there is considerable secure parking behind the entrance gates and further garaging. The frontage is well screened with mature planting. The mature rear garden enjoys open views to the sea and also the beautiful backdrop of Branksome Dene Chine and there are lawned and terraced areas along with a swimming pool. A courtyard separates the house from a detached outbuilding which currently has a pool house and home office/garden room. The outbuilding has strong possibilities for annexing or further ancillary accommodation.
