The Edwardian era is viewed nostalgically and often called the "Gilded Age", deemed a time of opulence, swagger, and self-belief, embodied in this imposing, Edwardian period, "gentleman's residence" built in 1910, for Herbert Ernest Beale, a son of the esteemed "Beales" family, who owned the former flagship store, Beales of Bournemouth, established as "The Fancy Fair by John Elmes Beale in 1881 and was at the time the biggest department store in Dorset". Set in the Portchester Road Conservation Area, this residence spans over three floors and has been meticulously maintained by the current owner. Brimming with beautiful features such as lofty, natural coved ceilings, fireplaces in select rooms, large windows allow natural light to permeate each space, sympathetically restored and enhanced, complementing the period character of this simply beautiful home.

OUTSIDE benefits from having an in and out CARRIAGE DRIVEWAY providing OFF ROAD PARKING, electric CAR CHARGING POINT and a mature area of front garden with flower and shrubs providing privacy screening.
