3 bed detached house for sale

Wheelers Lane, Bournemouth BH11

Tucked away on a quiet lane, this beautifully presented three-bedroom home combines a peaceful setting with the kind of open, sociable living that works particularly well for families, couples and downsizers.

The heart of the home is undoubtedly the open-plan kitchen, dining and family room at the rear. It’s a generous, naturally bright space with marble worktops, a large central island and plenty of room to dine and relax. Bifold doors open directly onto the south-east facing rear garden, creating an easy connection between the house and outside through the warmer months.

The kitchen includes an American-style Kenwood fridge freezer, Hoover dishwasher and filtered water tap, while a separate utility room provides space for a washing machine and tumble dryer, along with additional cupboards and worktop space.

At the front of the house, the separate lounge gives you somewhere completely different to retreat to. Carpeted and cosy, with a media wall and LED electric fire, it’s particularly inviting in the evenings and means the main living spaces don’t all have to serve the same purpose.

Upstairs are three bedrooms, comprising two doubles and a single. The principal bedroom sits peacefully at the rear overlooking the garden, while built-in storage adds useful practicality. The family bathroom is fully tiled and includes both a bath and separate walk-in shower, with contemporary dark fittings and natural light.

Air conditioning upstairs is a welcome addition during the summer, while the home also benefits from a combi boiler approximately two years old, remote-controlled heating and double glazing replaced approximately two years ago.

Outside, the south-east facing rear garden has a patio immediately beyond the bifold doors, with a lawn and established planting creating plenty of space for children, pets, entertaining or simply sitting outside.

To the front, there is off-road driveway parking for two cars and an EV charger. The garage is currently used for storage and also provides useful additional loft storage.

Technology has been well considered too, with Hikvision 360° colour CCTV and motion detection, alongside Virgin Media broadband of up to 1,000 Mbps as reported by the owner.

The location is a big part of the appeal. Canford Heath is close by and gives walkers and dog owners access to one of Dorset’s largest remaining areas of heathland. Its 344 hectares are designated as a Site of Special Scientific Interest, with woodland and heathland paths providing a real sense of open space close to home.

For families, Bearwood Primary and Nursery School is nearby and is recorded by Ofsted as Good, with its most recent inspection published in March 2025 maintaining the standards identified at its previous inspection.

There are also local bus connections towards Wimborne, Poole and Bournemouth, making this location a useful base for reaching the wider area while coming home to a noticeably quieter setting
