4 bed detached house for sale

Shelley Close, Christchurch, Dorset BH23

A particularly appealing detached family home, occupying a generous and private plot approaching one quarter of an acre, in this highly sought-after road, just a short distance from the beautiful Friars Cliff beach.

Offering well-proportioned accommodation of approximately 2,015 sq ft, the house provides excellent family living space with the significant benefit of recent planning permission for a substantial three-storey extension, presenting a wonderful opportunity to create a truly bespoke family residence.

The entrance porch opens into a welcoming hallway. To the front lies the principal sitting room, a bright dual-aspect room with a handsome open fireplace set within a brick surround and French doors opening out to the front. Also on the ground floor is a double bedroom, ideal for guests or multi-generational living, together with a useful downstairs cloakroom.

The kitchen is fitted with a comprehensive range of light oak style units and provides space for appliances. Adjacent is a practical utility room with further storage and laundry facilities.
The kitchen opens into an exceptionally spacious sunroom/conservatory, which forms a superb light-filled extension to the living space and enjoys lovely outlooks over the garden.

Completing the ground floor is a separate study (16'11 x 8'0), offering flexible options as a home office, additional bedroom, or potential annexe space.

The staircase rises to the first floor landing, which leads to three good-sized bedrooms, two of which are particularly generous. The family bathroom and separate WC complete the first-floor accommodation. Of particular note is the large, fully boarded loft, providing excellent scope for further accommodation.

Externally, the property is approached via electric wooden gates, the front offers a generous driveway with ample parking for several vehicles, including scope for a motorhome or boat. The rear garden is a standout feature. Predominantly laid to lawn and surrounded by well-established borders and mature hedging for privacy, it provides a wonderful outlook from the house. A bridge crosses the pretty Bure Brook at the rear of the garden, where the grounds continue with an attractive tree-lined backdrop.
