Leven Avenue, Talbot Woods Bournemouth, Dorset BH4 Leven Avenue, Talbot Woods, Bournemouth, Dorset. FREEHOLD PRICE £2,000,000 This stunning ‘gentleman’s residence’ is considered by many to be Bournemouth’s most attractive family home having the look of a country house yet just a mile from Bournemouth town centre and only slightly further to the nearest beach. The property was constructed in the 1930’s and maintains its most impressive curb appeal which was created by a skilful fusion of differing period styles. The ogival arched, leaded and mullioned stone windows suggest a clear Gothic influence which are complemented by the half-timbering, white plaster and render, steeply pitched roof and prominent cross gabling of a Tudor home. Internally, the retention of attractive fireplaces, oak panelled walls, floors, doors and plate rails clearly show the 1930’s origin and there are various areas of modernisation which have taken place over the years. This lovely home though impeccably presented offers enormous potential for personalization if so desired, including an extremely large attic ideal for conversion (subject to the relevant permissions). The attached floor plan clearly shows the layout and continued definition of split owner’s and ‘maid’s’ accommodation. The grounds extend to approximately 0.6 acres incorporating exceptionally well presented lawns bordered by well stocked flower and shrub beds to both front and rear. The front boundary is well defined by low-level walling and three breaks; two sets of electric double gates at either side provide entrance and exit to the carriage driveway and there is a central pedestrian gate with a path to the studded and strapped front door. The rear garden is southerly, mostly secluded and has a number of elements; dining / entertainment patio, swimming pool, green house, two workshops and changing rooms. The whole garden area has an extensive automatic irrigation system. Talbot Woods is Bournemouth’s prime residential location and Leven Avenue is without doubt home to a handful of the area’s most desirable properties. Access to the popular Meyrick Park Golf Course is directly opposite, and Bournemouth’s famous ‘Upper Gardens’ are a downhill walk of only a few hundred yards and provide delightful walkways all the way to the pier and beach via The Square in Bournemouth town centre. Bournemouth’s Wessex Way is very close and offers access to the M27 motorway with Southampton approximately 30 miles away and London approximately 100 miles away. Mainline train routes connect Bournemouth to Poole, Weymouth, Southampton and on to London Waterloo.
