York Place, BH7 walk to Southbourne and Boscombe

This is the kind of house that's hard to find: genuinely big rooms, real character, and a layout that actually makes sense for how people live.

The front reception room is a proper double — the sort of space where you're not having to choose between a sofa and a dining table. It flows through to a kitchen/diner at the back that's been done well; good storage, nice finishes, and the kind of kitchen you'll actually want to spend time in rather than hide away.

There's also a downstairs bedroom at the rear, which works brilliantly as a guest room, home office, or the answer to anyone who needs a bit of separation from the rest of the house. A downstairs WC too, which you don't always get.

Head upstairs and both bedrooms are genuine doubles — no awkward angles, no squeezing furniture in. The bathroom is a good size with a separate shower, which again is rarer than it should be.

The whole place comes in just under 1,250 sq ft, so it's genuinely spacious without feeling like an empty barn. The condition throughout is good — this is a house you can move into, not one you need to fix first.

Out the back, the garden is private, south-facing, and nicely laid out — patio, lawn, some decent borders and a shed. Somewhere to actually sit on a sunny day.

Pokesdown station is close, Southbourne high street is on the doorstep, and there's no forward chain, so no waiting around.

On-street parking. No chain. Ready when you are.
