Detached house for sale in Alton Road, Lower Parkstone BH14

On entering the property, you are immediately impressed by the large reception hallway and this area gives you a good idea of what’s in store as you continue through this home. A clever seating area with storage for shoes is just a small indicator of the thought that has gone into every aspect of this home, and this theme is continued with a further five large storage cupboards, a walk-in pantry in the kitchen, further discreet storage units and a dedicated plant room (basically the day-to-day of general life can all be hidden from view). But enough about the storage, and amazing liveability that the property offers, we need to tell you about the kitchen/dining/lifestyle room.

Undoubtedly this is one of the most creative and sensibly arranged rooms we have ever presented to the market. From a bespoke entertaining drinks area to a social split level island unit for casual dining and a more formal dining area overlooking the garden, we can only applaud the layout and design. It goes without saying that the standard of finish and quality of appliances throughout are second to none and a full list of appliances and further details of the kitchen are available on request. Double doors open to the principal reception room which overlooks the rear garden, and these doors provide the much preferred ‘broken-plan’ arrangement that allows for both separation or connection for grand scale entertaining. The second generous reception is currently in use as a media/cinema room and the positioning of the room provides privacy from the main living accommodation.

Moving to the first floor, there are four bedrooms (two ensuites) and a family bathroom, but we should focus on the principal bedroom on this level. The room has a rarely seen ‘almost’ square footprint which allows for a tremendous amount of floor space, a full bank of fitted wardrobes and a stunning ensuite bathroom. It’s fair to say you could be mistaken for thinking you’re in a Park Lane hotel suite. But the upstairs accommodation doesn’t end there as a cavernous landing leads to the top floor where there is a stunning guest suite which has been designed around a boutique theme with an in-room freestanding bath and separate contemporary ensuite (an ideal area for guests to enjoy privacy or even to lose a teenager.!).. A passageway leads to the large home office which enjoys a degree of separation from the main accommodation.

As can be seen from the images the outside affords parking, garaging and a large entertaining terrace that extends across the back of the property. The standard of finish continues in the garden with exterior lighting, patio heating and electric sunshade, but for us, the real stand-out feature of the garden is the stunning backdrop of the nature reserve to the rear.

A full breakdown of materials, appliances and works is available on request, but for us, it’s the fact that it’s a simply stunning property both inside and out that just ‘works’ on every level, that makes it a firm favourite of ours..!
