"Is this the perfect family home? 4 double bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, large kitchen and breakfast/dining room, large living room, parking for loads of cars, garage, car port, man cave/office/workshop. Have I found the Tardis? This is a big plot of land in an area with all amenities a family could need.

For starters the blocked paved driveway fits at least 4 cars then there is the car port and the garage although this big family have made use of both for anything but cars.?Also outside is a patio and an astroturf kids play area plus the 'Toy Store' which could easily make an office, a workshop, a teenager's heaven or a man cave. Entrance to the chalet bungalow is either via the side front door or the kitchen door and what strikes you most is the large size of all the rooms. The kitchen leads into the breakfast room/dining room which is ideal for managing family meal times. The hall has 2 bedrooms off and the living room plus the essential downstairs showerroom. Upstairs to the chalet with 2 more bedrooms and a bathroom. Yes, the house is a bit bruised from raising a big family but what potential there is with the size of this home and the plot. Compare prices in the road and you will see that this 4 double bedroom chalet bungalow has been priced favourably.

So what about about family life here? Pop down the road less than a hundred yards to pick up a pint of milk from the mini Co-Op store. Less than a mile either to big Tesco and Sainsburys stores. Rosemary Medical Centre is close by. The local schooling is good: At primary level there is Sylvan Infants School and Manorside Primary School. At secondary age there is St Edwards and of course the 2 grammar schools. All the schools I have mentioned are Ofsted level 2 or better. Thinking ahead? The location is very convenient to Bournemouth University.

Fun? Branksome Recreation ground is close by to teach your children how to ride their first bike as is Bourne Valley Nature Reserve which is a wonderful place to walk the family dog. Tower Park is less then a mile with loads of different eateries from Frankie & Bennys to Pizza Express. It also has a big cinema complex, Bowlplex bowling alley and Splashdown water park. And of course there are the award winning beaches of Sandbanks less than 3 miles. You can marvel at the UK hub for kitesurfing and windsurfing in Poole Harbour, the 2nd largest natural harbour in the world. Or catch the Sandbanks chain ferry to the Purbeck Hills and get close to Old Harry Rocks.

Travel is easy too. The bus service to both Poole and Bournemouth is excellent. Branksome Railway Station is less than a mile with just one stop to Bournemouth with direct routes to London and Manchester. By car you are just a couple of miles from the Wessex Way where it is at least dual carriageway to the New Forest, Southampton and the UK motorway network. From the Wessex Way the famous Castlepoint Shopping Centre is close as is Bournemouth International Airport. For a quirky mixture of shops and coffee houses, try the close by Ashley Road. Or it is less than 1/2 mile to the Redland Retail Park with the likes of John Lewis Home, Homebase, Home Bargains, Next Home, Pets at Home and a DW fitness centre.

I think this just may be a perfect family home. As you will see from the pictures in the garage the family have their Pickfords packing cases ready and waiting.
