Property description & features

  • Tenure: Leasehold (170 years remaining)
  • Private, south-facing garden
  • Unexpectedly large, light-filled rooms
  • Multiple options for off-street parking
  • Large garden studio / party room
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.

Outside
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.

Location
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.

    Broadband availability and predicted speed: obtained from Ofcom on July 27, 2022

    Broadband speed is measured in megabits per second, with the number returned showing how fast the connection is. Each reading is based on the highest predicted speed of any major broadband network for services that deliver the download speeds. The following are the different readings that we may display:

    Basic: Up to 30 Mbit/s
    Super-fast: Between 30 Mbit/s and 300 Mbit/s
    Ultra-fast: Over 300 Mbit/s

    The data is updated three times a year. The checker results are predictions and should not be regarded as guaranteed. For more information, see: https://checker.ofcom.org.uk/en-gb/about-checker#Answer_0_2

    Mobile phone signal availability and predicted strength: obtained from Ofcom on July 27, 2022

    Mobile signal predictions are provided by the four UK mobile network operators: EE, O2, Three and Vodafone. Predictions can vary significantly from the coverage you may actually experience as a result of local factors (especially terrain). Ofcom has tested the actual coverage provided in various locations around the UK to help ensure that these predictions are reasonable. The values shown against a property can be broken down as follows:

    Clear: No bars, no signal predicted
    Red: One bar, reliable signal unlikely
    Amber: Two bars, may experience problems with connectivity
    Green: Three bars, likely to have good coverage and receive a data rate to support basic web services
    Enhanced: Full bars, likely to have good coverage indoors and to receive an enhanced data rate to support multimedia services

    Energy Performance data and Internal floor area: obtained on April 14, 2015 from The Energy Performance of Buildings (Certificates and Inspections) (England and Wales) Regulations 2007 or the Home Report if in relation to a residential property in Scotland.
