4 bedroom detached house for sale

Delightful traditional style house in one of Lilliput’s most sought after Avenues backing onto the Elms Recreation Ground

Description

Savills Canford Cliffs are absolutely delighted to offer for sale for the first time in approximately 82 years this charming traditional style detached house in one of Lilliput’s most sought after Avenues.

The property would benefit from some modernisation, which presents an exciting opportunity for the next owner to update the interior design to their preferred taste and requirements. There might also be scope to convert the loft into additional accommodation, subject of course to obtaining the required consents.

On entering the property via the attractive wooden front door, you are greeted by a bright entrance hall. There is a good size sitting room with a feature fire surround and a most delightful outlook over the attractive rear garden to which there is also direct access via patio doors. The kitchen/breakfast room has a good range of fitted units, as well as a utility room. There is a separate dining room located at the front of the property with an attractive fireplace. The cloakroom completes the accommodation to the ground floor.

To the first floor, there are four bedrooms, all of which benefit from fitted wardrobes and/or cupboards. Bedrooms one and three have their own vanity sinks. There is an updated family bathroom with separate bath and shower.

Externally, there is a most attractive southerly facing rear garden, which is mostly laid to lawn with paved areas, a pond, a shed and a large detached garage. The property has the unique benefit of backing onto the Elms Recreation Ground, known locally as "the paddock", which is for the use of the residents of the Elms Estate. To the front, there is an area of lawn, as well as planted borders.

This delightful home and the potential it offers must be viewed to be fully appreciated.

The property is situated in Lilliput Village, a popular and sought after residential area close to the stunning shoreline of Poole Harbour.

These waters are famous for year-round sports including, windsurfing, kite surfing, paddleboarding and sailing. If you’re not on (or in!) the water it’s a gorgeous backdrop for walking, jogging or cycling too; the route through Sandbanks and across to Studland and the Isle of Purbeck is a particular favourite for local cyclists.
