Set within the Portman Estate and just a short walk from Southbourne s clifftops, sandy beaches and vibrant shops, bars, cafes and restaurants of Southbourne Grove. Montague Road is arguably one of the area s most sought after roads. Pokesdown rail station is also just a 15 minute walk away offering a direct service into London Waterloo.

Occupying an elevated and generous plot, this fine detached home has been impeccably kept both inside and out, with recent improvements to include the installation of an attractive replacement slate roof.

Updated and immaculately presented the property is modern yet retains a great deal of its original Arts and Crafts character boasting a period staircase with stained glass over, original doors and plate racks.

Entering the property a large hallway makes for an impressive entrance leading to all principle rooms and a WC set beneath the imposing period staircase.

There are three reception rooms all of which feature refurbished wood parquet flooring. The two larger reception rooms overlook the front of property via large bay windows and are currently arranged as the lounge and dining room, the smaller yet still generous third reception featuring French doors leading to the rear garden and currently arranged as a second sitting music room.

The modern fitted kitchen offers a great deal of storage and a breakfast bar making a great space for informal dining. The kitchen offers a range of integrated appliances to include a double oven and six ring gas hob, an adjacent utility room offering additional storage and space for a washing machine and additional undercounter appliance.

Moving up to the first floor a large landing leads to all bedrooms. The property offers up to five bedrooms which are served by two modern bathrooms and an en suite shower room. Arrangement is however flexible as the two front facing bedrooms have an interlocking hallway enabling them to be arranged as a large master suite with dressing room and en suite. There is also a study office which could even be used as a 6th bedroom.

Outside, the property is raised from the road with retaining walls and shrub beds bordering a sizable driveway which provides plentiful off road parking and continues down the side of property to a detached garage.

The rear garden is a great size and affords a good deal of seclusion from neighbouring homes. A patio area abuts the rear of the home with steps then leading to a raised lawn with inset and bordering flower shrub beds. Ideally placed to capture the late afternoon evening sun there is a second patio towards the rear boundary as well as a children s play area and storage shed.

This home has a great deal to offer and is sure to be popular with purchasers seeking space and quality close to the coast. Be sure not to miss out and arrange your viewing today.
