Durrant Road, Bournemouth, BH2 6LE
What’s On Offer?
Your new home, in one of Bournemouths oldest buildings! The Gatehouse is steeped in history, starting as a private home prior to 1930, then becoming a hotel, before holiday homes in the 70s & 80s.
This lower ground floor apartment was fully refurbished 4 years ago, including new windows, heating and even tanking to create a sealed unit. It’s a unique home accessed separately from the main building, with its own gate, courtyard garden and front door. Allocated off-road parking is a big win this close to town, and you’ll be able to walk to Bournemouth, Westbourne & our sandy beaches.
The showstopper of this home is the huge living-dining room, that’s also big enough for your work from home set-up. Conveniently positioned away from the kitchen, your dirty dishes and wiring washing machine are out of sight. There’s space for a large dining set, so entertaining is a breeze. There’s also an off-road allocated parking space, which is pretty great to have!
Cook.
A shaker style with plenty of worktop space, integral appliances and two opening windows (plus an extractor) mean you’ll be cooking up your signature dish with ease. This is the ideal kitchen for those not wanting to cook in their living room- something all too common with apartments these days. There’s a surprising amount of storage on offer, with no wasted space here.
The kitchen leads into a hallway giving access to the bedroom, shower room, and corridor to the lounge…
Sleep.
The bedroom is a great size, large enough for a king bed plus your storage needs. Decor is fresh and needs no touchups, caret is squishy and we love the cute recessed window! Spotlights evenly light this room.
Wash.
Perhaps surprisingly for a 1 bed, the shower room is a brilliant size! A large walk in shower is like new, there’s a heated towel rail for when you’re done, and the mosaic flooring feels fancy! Crucially, you’ll have both an opening window plus an extractor fan- keeping thing fresh and dry!
Relax. Work. Eat.
The living room feels both vast and cosy. A place to retreat after a long days work, but also inviting for guests and dinner dates. The current owner has an office set up in the recessed section, which is easily accommodated thanks to the size. There's so much potential here, whether you need space for your beloved record collection, fancy a huge home cinema set up, or floorspace for your yoga...you can do it here. Once again, spotlights and two deep reveal windows light this room. Electric heating works well in this space, and thanks to an overhaul just 4 years ago, this home is efficient.
Where Is It?
A quiet cul de sac location within Meyrick Park and Talbot Woods Conservation Area. Walking distance to Bournemouth town, sandy beaches, Westbourne, Meyrick Park and transport links. Amenities such as supermarkets, restaurants and local shops are also handily close. This particular location is away from the hustle and bustle for when you’re wanting quiet, but close enough to feel connected…you probably didn’t even know it was there!
