A RARE opportunity has arisen to acquire one of the impressive ‘Arts and Craft’ Edwardian villas in the Brunstead Road Conservation area.
This small residential neighbourhood known as ‘Brunstead Gardens’ has become a highly desirable location only a short walk from the cosmopolitan Westbourne with its fashionable bars, restaurants and boutiques.
Bournemouth town centre is also easily accessible with an entrance to the famous ‘Upper Gardens’ only 150 metres from the house.
The gardens provide a very pleasant walk of approximately one mile into Bournemouth’s lively ‘square’.
With most of the early 20th century villas in this area, there is a strong ‘Arts and Crafts’ influence.
The house was built in 1907 by local builder Alfred Beynon.
Over the years the property changed hands selling at £1,300 in 1907 to £56,000 in 1981. Interestingly, the property was converted into flatlets in 1950 and run as a guest house and the property continued to be used in this way until 1967.
Today the property retains much of the original detail and has been extensively modernised during recent years, skillfully phasing the original charm with contemporary fixtures and fittings to facilitate luxury living throughout.
As an example the current owners gave the kitchen designers the brief of a Tuscan theme with no expense spared. The resulting rustic country house feel with natural tones is complemented by integrated high quality appliances and separate doors, giving access on to the large al fresco dining patio/terrace in the garden.
Exploring the accommodation this house has to offer you’ll discover the luxury master bedroom which has modern fitted furniture – a bedroom was sacrificed for a private dressing room and large luxurious en suite.
Both front and rear gardens have been extensively landscaped. A modern block paved driveway provides plenty of parking and access to the garage.
The rear has been hugely landscaped including the removal of tons of earth to create multiple levels and features including a pond, cascading waterfall, bridge and decking, meandering path and upper recreational field.
This property is on the market with a guide price of £825,000. Contact Savills Bournemouth for further details on 01202 255552, or visit savills.co.uk.
