5 bed detached house for sale

Ashurst Road, West Moors, Ferndown BH22

A detached, five bedroom, period home which has been extensively extended and is in need of complete modernisation throughout benefiting from a generous private garden, tandem garage and off road parking.

Property

The property sits on the easterly edge of Ashurst Road, close to the amenities of Station Road, and offers a tremendous opportunity for those looking to create their own home. The original house dates back to the early 1900s and has been extended over the last 25 years.

The accommodation comprises three reception rooms, kitchen, office, cloakroom, family bathroom and two bedrooms to the ground floor. The layout downstairs lends itself well to use as an annex if required, and there remains further scope to extend (STPP). To the first floor are three additional bedrooms, a family bathroom and an en-suite facility.

A notable feature is the connecting corridor between the original house and the 2001 extension. This space is large enough to be used as a room in its own right and could comfortably serve as a snug.

Further benefits include partial double glazing and gas-fired central heating.

Garden And Grounds

The front garden is primarily laid to driveway which is suited to several vehicles and in turn gives access to the attached tandem garage. There are a pair of wood built gates to the right hand side of the home which in turn gives access to further parking. The garden is level and there are a variety of wood built sheds and is primarily laid to lawn.
