3 bedroom apartment for sale

Spacious character ground floor apartment with superb front, side and rear garden. An incredibly unique property.

Description

Savills are delighted to offer for sale this incredibly rare to find three-bedroom ground floor apartment within a converted character house located on the very popular and desirable Spencer Road.

This property is brilliantly independent in the sense that it has its own entrance and driveway, private gardens and a private front door. This gives the property a great feeling of privacy and seclusion which is not normally the case with apartment living and is certainly unusual to find in this location. In this building there are only two properties in total and it is wonderfully set back from the road.

‘Escombe’ is a bright and spacious home with many beautiful character features and stunning high ceilings. The property is in a condition which now requires renovation throughout, but this presents a very exciting opportunity for the new owner to create their own dream home in a highly sought after position.

Internally the property measures 1466 square feet of accommodation which includes the living room, kitchen, pantry, three generously sized bedrooms, a shower room, and a WC. Subject to the correct approvals and permissions, the current floor plan could be re-configured to suit a more modern way of living. Most of these rooms benefit from very pleasant green outlooks over the gardens.

Externally, on arrival there is parking for several cars and a lovely front garden. This garden space then wraps around the side and out to the back of the property where there is a large garden store. The outside space is very deceptive and must be viewed in person to be fully appreciated. There is huge potential with the driveway and gardens to be updated and landscaped to really maximise the space on offer.

We would strongly advise an in-person viewing at Escombe to fully appreciate this unique opportunity. To view this property, please contact Savills Canford Cliffs.
