About this listing

There are some properties where the improvements made by their owners fundamentally change how a home feels and functions. This exceptional five-bedroom townhouse in St Ives Gardens is a wonderful example. Through a series of carefully considered alterations, the current owners have transformed the property into a beautifully balanced and versatile home, perfectly suited to modern lifestyles. The most significant change has been the relocation of the kitchen/breakfast room, living room and dining room to the garden level. This imaginative reconfiguration has transformed the way the property is enjoyed, bringing the principal living spaces together and establishing a natural connection with the landscaped garden. What makes this arrangement particularly successful is the relationship between the rooms. Rather than creating one large open-plan space, each room retains its own identity whilst flowing effortlessly into the next. The result is a wonderfully connected and sociable environment that still provides the separation appreciated in everyday family life. Whether entertaining, enjoying family meals or just relaxing, the accommodation simply works. Throughout the property, the quality of the improvements and attention to detail are evident. A staircase with contemporary glass balustrading connects the various floors, introducing light and openness to the hallways and landings whilst creating a visual connection throughout the house. The bedroom accommodation is equally impressive, with five bedrooms providing considerable flexibility. The principal bedroom benefits from a private en-suite bathroom complete with a full-sized bath, whilst the remaining bedrooms are served by a beautifully finished family bathroom. Another thoughtful addition is the dedicated workspace on the top floor. Enclosed with contemporary glazing, the home office provides a defined working environment whilst retaining a connection with the surrounding accommodation. It is an excellent solution for those working from home, offering privacy without feeling isolated. Recognising the importance of flexible living arrangements, the owners have converted the former garage into additional accommodation, incorporating a kitchenette and shower room. This valuable space offers numerous possibilities, whether used for guests, as a separate working environment or to provide greater independence for family members staying for extended periods. One of the property's greatest strengths is its ability to accommodate different lifestyles. Families with teenage or older children will appreciate the opportunity for greater independence, whilst professionals have several options for home working. Equally, those regularly welcoming guests or accommodating relatives will recognise the advantages of such adaptable accommodation. Outside, the property continues to impress. Generous off-road parking provides space for several vehicles, whilst the beautifully landscaped rear garden offers a series of attractive outdoor spaces. A substantial patio is ideal for dining and relaxation, with a dedicated barbecue area providing further entertaining opportunities. A shaped lawn, established trees, mature shrubs and attractive planting create a lovely outlook from the living room and kitchen/breakfast room. Ultimately, the appeal of this property lies not simply in its presentation or generous accommodation, but in how successfully everything works together. The owners have created a home that is practical, inviting and exceptionally adaptable, with an intelligent layout that makes everyday living remarkably straightforward. With Meyrick Park virtually on the doorstep and the amenities of Bournemouth and Westbourne within easy reach, this is a home that deserves to be experienced in person to appreciate the quality of its transformation and the flexibility it offers.
