Description

This light filled 2-bedroom first floor apartment comes with a lot of extras…including a private south facing garden, large rooms, stunning views, large studio in the garden, off road parking and even loft space for additional storage.

The front door opens onto a staircase with a picture window and up into a large ENTRANCE HALL with another west facing window. The current owners use this area as office space, and there is still plenty of space for the coats, buggies etc. needed by their young family. Above, there is access to the loft for additional storage which is boarded and has power. To the right is the SITTING ROOOM which has space for a large sofa, fireplace and even a piano but you will find yourself immediately drawn to the large windows overlooking Day's Park and beyond.

Straight ahead is the large family KITCHEN, which one might more likely associate with a 4-bedroom house. There are two windows and plenty of workspace with wall-mounted and floor-based units, oven, gas hob, extractor fan and space for a fridge freezer, washing machine and dishwasher. The current owner also has a dining table for four.

The PRINCIPAL BEDROOM is a sizeable double with plenty of space for a double bed as well as wardrobes. The large windows look down on to well-tended gardens and beyond to Ballard Down. Off the principal bedroom is further handy wardrobe space that extends above the stairs leading up to the apartment. BEDROOM TWO is another double room, currently used as the children's bedroom. Again, with plenty of storage space and another large window offering southerly light and more views of parks and Swanage. Off the landing is the spacious FAMILY BATHROOM with attractive glass brick part wall, allowing in extra light. It is complete with a bath, overhead shower, W.C. and basin. The current owners have found the space here particularly useful at bath time for their young family.

This property is set back from Ulwell Road and comprises just two flats in one building, affording the owner's privacy, in an attractive setting. There is access to park a car at the rear of the property, as well as plenty of roadside parking.

Just a few steps from the entrance, the apartment has its own charming south facing garden offering privacy and enviable entertainment space. It is entered through a rustic gate surrounded by roses and then is laid to lawn and patio across an area of approx. 5m x 20m. A perfect sanctuary garden for both children and adults.

At the rear of the garden is yet another room which the owner (an artist) uses sometimes as studio space, but equally it is used as a party room when summertime lunches roll into the evening.

As if the scale of this apartment wasn't enough, this house is perfectly situated for exceptional walks. Ballard Down and old Harry rocks are just up the hills to the north, the favourite walk of the current owners, offering spectacular coastal views. The beach is just a 5-minute walk and the bus stop, just a 1-minute walk too, offers a reliable service into Bournemouth.

For young families Day's Park (that you can see from the sitting room window) also has a football club, cricket club and children's play park again about 5 minutes' walk.

The preschool Little Birds is rated outstanding and just a 10-minute walk through the park and Saint Mary's primary school next door is recommended by the vendors.
