Ridley Road, Bournemouth, BH9

HOUSE & SON A hop, skip, and a jump from some excellent schools and the ever-enticing Winton Recreation Ground (complete with its own cheerful assortment of amenities), this three or four-bedroom detached home on Ridley Road is the sort of place that seems to hum quietly to itself about family life and sunny afternoons.

At its heart is the kitchen/diner, a space so welcoming it practically hands you a cup of tea the moment you step inside. With its generous proportions (17' 7" x 12' 0"), it's ready for everything from chaotic breakfasts to festive dinners and all the glorious in-between. Meanwhile, the family room practically glows with sunlight streaming through French doors, as if it's showing off how beautifully it connects to the garden beyond. And what a garden! Westerly facing, it's a suntrap designed for everything from bouncy castle adventures to quiet evenings with a good book.

And there's no chain to hold you back – the house is ready for new stories to begin. Move in before the stamp duty changes, and it'll feel a bit like cheating at life, but the good kind of cheating. This isn't just a house. It's the start of something splendid.
