Frankland Crescent, Poole

This delightful character home has been refurbished in recent years, retaining many of the original features you would expect from a property of this period. The entrance porch has been extended and enclosed to include a useful sitting area / boot room. The original front door opens to an impressive entrance hall with stripped wood flooring. The fitted kitchen combines pale grey units with stone worktops and slate flooring. A notable feature is the free standing solid fuel Esse, which doubles up as a second oven for entertaining or a log burner for a cosy kitchen supper. A separate utility houses the boiler, washing machine and tumble dryer along with a pressurised water unit. The ground floor features the main living room with its inglenook log burner, as well as a second reception room / formal dining room, also featuring a log burner. There is a ground floor cloakroom for convenience. The first floor landing is exceptionally large, giving the house a feeling of space. The main bedroom has its own en-suite with the remaining three bedrooms sharing the family bathroom. A secret door hides a permanent staircase leading to the large loft space which could be converted, subject to planning, into additional accommodation. From the kitchen, a door provides access to the patio area and level garden which is laid to lawn. A block paved driveway provides off-road parking and leads to a garage. Tucked behind this is a useful storage shed. The property has historically operated very successfully as an AirBnb so presents a lucrative investment opportunity as well as a family home.
