"A lovely 4 bedroom house in a quiet cul de sac community, beautifully maintained by the current owners, who are downsizing after 11 years here. This property is set on a good size plot of almost 3000 sq ft with off road parking for 4 cars and a delightful garden, reflective of the owners hobby.

The owners can name every plant in their garden and their jewel in the crown is a pair of climbing Hydrangeas. The garden has a patio, lawn, outside water tap, water butt, wooden fencing, a slate water feature and a chipped slate seating area for cocktail hour.

All in all, it is the perfect place to raise a family, the children who live in Drew Close still play outside in the street of a summers evening; remember the days when you could play outside with friends until the street lights come on?



From a path through the front garden to the front door into a long hall with a loo on your left, the kitchen is at the end of the hall overlooking the back garden. The kitchen has a back door to the driveway, so easy to unload your shopping. Both from the hall and the kitchen you can access the living/dining area which almost 9 metres long with French doors to the back garden.

Up a bright and airy staircase with 2 windows to a spacious landing to 3 double bedrooms and a single bedroom, currently used as an office. 2 of the bedrooms have fitted wardrobes, one has an ensuite shower room and there is a separate bathroom. From the landing you can access the loft which has light, power and drop-down ladder. This has lots of storage.

The driveway is 18 metres long and leads to garage with power and light.

The owners have constantly invested in the property. Besides the garden, the boiler is just over 2 years old. In December, the boiler was serviced as were the radiators which were also flushed through at the time. In March the intruder alarm was serviced. A new gas hob and electric double oven was fitted last year. Also in 2015 the house had new blinds fitted.

During their time at the house, the soffits, gutters and downpipes have been replaced.

It is a very family friendly area: the doctors surgery is close by in Gillett Road, where there is also a pharmacy and the Village Dental Practice. The corner shop is also there for that forgotten pint of milk.

Nearby supermarkets are Sainsburys on Alder Hills and Waitrose in Winton high street.

Travel/commuting options from Talbot Village are excellent with just a mile and a half to the to the Spur Road where it is at least dual carriageway to the New Forest, Southampton and the UK Motorway Network. It is 2 miles to Bournemouth Railway Station with direct routes to London and Manchester. And on the outskirts is Bournemouth International Airport, which is the fastest growing in the UK

The schools locally are excellent. At primary level there is Talbot Primary School(Ofsted excellent) and St Marks Church (Ofsted rated good). At secondary level Glenmoor Academy(again Ofsted rated good) is close by and there is easy access to the 2 Bournemouth grammar schools.

To teach the children how to ride their bikes and to take the dog for a walk, Redhill Park, Slades Farm are close by. You can walk to Meyrick Park and then through the park to Bournemouth town centre and the 7 miles of award winning beaches, where you can stroll along the beach or the prom all the way to Sandbanks and Poole Harbour, which is the 2nd largest natural harbour in the world, and haven to boats of all sizes. You can watch the spectacular sights of the windsurfers and kitesurfers in action in this UK hub for the sports. There?are 2 excellent golf courses locally.

The area has a keen cycling and walking community with the Purbeck Hills and Dorset's Jurassic Coast key destinations.

In Bournemouth, you will find a wide range of eateries and shops. It is a renowned entertainment centre with the Pavilion Theatre and the BIC mailing lists for shows and bands a must.

And the area has become a significant employer in the South. The headquarters of JP Morgan is less than a mail away and the headquarters of Vitality Insurance, The Nationwide, LV, Barclays International, The RNLI and Sunseeker Marine are all in the local area.

I asked the owners what they most liked living here and they said the quiet, the privacy of their garden, their good neighbours and the community feel to the area.
