Extending to 3,849 sq.ft, this distinguished six bedroom home represents a privileged opportunity to acquire a substantial estate-style residence combining scale, privacy, historic provenance and outstanding future flexibility.

Located directly opposite Meyrick Park and its renowned golf course, Rossgarth enjoys the rare advantage of peaceful surroundings while remaining within easy reach of Bournemouth town centre, the award-winning beaches, AFC Bournemouth’s Vitality Stadium and Bournemouth Railway Station with direct services to London Waterloo and Manchester.

One of the last remaining standalone, estate-style residences of its kind in the area, the property is reputed to have historical associations with Sir Winston Churchill, adding a fascinating chapter to an already distinguished home. Approached via electric gates and a sweeping carriage driveway, the property offers an impressive sense of arrival, with parking for approximately 15 vehicles together with additional external parking.

Planning permission has been granted to reconfigure the internal layout into contemporary open-plan living, together with the conversion of the detached garage into a two-bedroom coach house (subject to the necessary consents). This creates significant scope for a variety of future uses, including ancillary accommodation, a home office, gym, guest suite or potential short-term letting opportunity.

Outside, mature trees and beautifully established wraparound gardens provide an exceptional degree of privacy, creating an atmosphere more reminiscent of a country house than a property so close to the heart of Bournemouth. Expansive lawns, a spacious veranda and sun terraces provide excellent indoor-outdoor living and offer the perfect setting for entertaining or peaceful relaxation.
