Period character is complemented by considered modern finishes, including hardwood flooring, high-quality carpets sourced through Harrods, premium kitchen and laundry appliances and a magnificent galleried landing illuminated by an original stained-glass window.

OUTSIDE

The grounds are one of Rossgarth’s defining features. Approached through electric gates, the sweeping carriage driveway provides parking for many vehicles together with the detached garage.

The established wraparound gardens are enclosed by mature trees, creating a remarkable degree of privacy.

Despite its proximity to central Bournemouth, the setting is remarkably private and tranquil.

GRANTED PLANNING PERMISSION & FUTURE POTENTIAL

A further dimension is provided by granted planning permission relating to the detached garage and elements of the principal residence. The approved scheme includes the conversion of the existing detached garage into additional residential accommodation, together with approved alterations to elements of the main house to facilitate a more contemporary open-plan living arrangement.

The planning permission provides a future owner with genuine flexibility. Rossgarth can be enjoyed immediately as the substantial period residence it is today, whilst the approved proposals offer the opportunity to evolve the accommodation over time. The accompanying architectural CGI illustrations demonstrate one possible contemporary interpretation of the proposals, including a versatile one-bedroom detached space which could lend itself to guest accommodation, multigenerational living, a home office or studio, gym or other appropriate use, subject to the terms and conditions of the consent.

Importantly, the planning permission is an opportunity rather than a requirement. The existing residence remains a complete and highly functional family home in its own right, allowing a purchaser to retain its character and enjoy it immediately, whilst having the option to consider a different configuration in the future.

Approved planning drawings and CGI illustrations are included in the brochure.
