This classically elegant and extremely spacious two bedroom apartment lies in a quiet cul-de-sac within the much sought after Dean Park conservation area of Bournemouth. The main railway station is a ten minute walk away providing convenient, direct connection to London and many other destinations. Meyrick Park is also nearby with its golf course, gym, spa and other opportunities for outdoor recreation. A 20 minute walk takes you to the East Cliff and Bournemouth beach with miles of golden sand and views of the Isle of Wight and Purbeck Hills.
The property occupies the entire ground floor of a beautifully appointed house built in 1898, which has many original architectural features. There is ample off road parking and convenient gate access from the drive to the apartment's large private south facing garden.
Internally, the property has the typical generous proportions and style of a late Victorian gentleman's house, including 11' high ceilings, wooden floors, deep skirtings and period mouldings. Modern features have been sensitively added without compromising the fidelity of the original Victorian design. Gas fired central heating provides economic warmth and large double glazed sash windows allow plenty of light to flow in, further increasing the sense of space.
