Wollstonecraft Road, Bournemouth, BH5

Why Wollstonecraft Road? This impressive 8 Bedroom detached Victorian house sits in the heart of Boscombe Manor. Boscombe Manor is Southbourne�s most sought-after area. It is conveniently located just a stone�s throw to the cliff tops which is home to miles of sandy beaches and a short distance to Southbourne�s high street. Most of the properties in this area were built in the 1920s / 1930s oozing elegance and style with many of these beautiful gentleman�s residences having retained their original character features which include oak panelled entrance hallways. Whether you are taking a leisurely stroll along the clifftops down to the beach or simply sitting in the caf� with a coffee admiring the views, Boscombe Manor is not to be missed! This unique property is less than 300 meters to the clifftops where you can admire the panoramic sea views. On entering the house there is an imposing reception hall with stunning tiled flooring and a full mantle and working log burner fire, a legacy of homes of the era which truly sets the tone for the rest of the property. The drawing room is exceptionally large at 43ft long with a dual aspect, flooding the room with natural light. The kitchen is a bespoke Jane Cheel design exclusively for this home and has been expertly fitted by Kitchen Elegance. The contemporary, framed shaker style cabinetry is complimented wonderfully by the Cosmic Gold granite counter tops. NEFF double ovens and a ceramic hob sit under the custom-built extractor hood. The island features the same cabinetry and houses an integrated Neff dishwasher and Caple temperature-controlled wine fridge. The ceramic sink is sunk down into the granite work top and has a Quooker instant boiling water tap. The wall separating the kitchen and dining room has been shortened at either end maintaining an open flow. The formal dining and entertaining area benefits from French doors leading out on to the grounds and terrace. A large sky light gives the room a bright and airy feel. To the rear of the kitchen is a large pantry cupboard and the corridor which runs along the rear of the home also has a separate chefs prep kitchen, laundry room and a boot room with fitted storage in a wonderful teak wood built in. To the other end of the expansive island is a raised glass tabletop ideal for casual dining and evening cocktails. The residence has eight superb bedroom suites along with vast reception rooms boasting notably high ceilings with the original crown mouldings wonderfully maintained. A truly incredible 28ft kitchen/dining space opens out on to the estate, together with a converted basement which is currently used as a family games room but would also make for excellent gym facilities. Renovated only a few years ago to a magnificent standard, the manor is made up of beautifully landscaped gardens, extensive terracing and a large custom built wooden gazebo for outdoors entertaining with ample space to add a heated swimming pool (planning permission previously granted) and further scope to expand subject to permissions. Amble down the zig zag to find miles of golden sandy beach with a promenade stretching from Hengistbury Head to Sandbanks. There are a number of water sports available by Boscombe Pier along with a number of caf�s, bars and restaurants to take in along the way.
