A Lovely Family Home with a Story to Tell in Boscombe Manor/Portman Estate

Imagine finding a place that just feels right for your family. That's what you get with this detached house in Boscombe Manor/Portman Estate. It's got that comfortable, welcoming vibe, with plenty of room to grow. Six bedrooms, two bathrooms – you won't be tripping over each other here! And with around 2600 square feet and those lovely high ceilings, it feels bright and airy.

Walking in, you're greeted by a really generous entrance hall. It sets the tone for the whole place – spacious and inviting. And you've got these beautiful stained glass windows, in surprisingly great shape, adding a touch of real character and also has two ground floor WC's!

The garden's a winner. It's a good size, about 0.19 acres, and it's been set up perfectly for enjoying the outdoors. Picture this: a private seating area with a hot tub, ideal for unwinding after a busy day. Plus, a heated tiki hut! How fun is that? And for practical stuff, there's a garage with doors at both ends.

Inside, the kitchen's been recently renovated, modern and bright, with a big breakfast bar – perfect for family meals or catching up with friends. The master bedroom? A great size, with a walk-through dressing area and a nice en-suite.

Location-wise, you're onto a good thing. You're just a short walk from the cliff top, and you've got Shelley Park right next door – ideal for walks, picnics, you name it. And if you've got kids, the schools around here are excellent, with the private schools running their own bus services. Plus, you're close to both Bournemouth and Southbourne, so you've got everything you need.

Now, here's the really cool part: this place has got history. The land was bought from Percy Shelley back in 1912, and the house was built in 1917. And get this – it hasn't been on the market since 1947! It's rare to find a place with this much space, character, and history, all in such a great location. It's a real gem.
