Canberra Road, Christchurch

About the property

***NO ONWARD CHAIN***

Set within a popular residential street on the edge of Christchurch, No. 33 Canberra Road is a detached bungalow occupying a generous plot with gardens to both the front and rear, a driveway providing parking for multiple vehicles, and considerable scope to enhance and extend, subject to the necessary consents. The property has been a much-loved family home for over 35 years and is now offered to the market with no onward chain.

The accommodation is well balanced and thoughtfully arranged, beginning with a welcoming entrance porch with sliding doors, leading through to a central entrance hall. The two double bedrooms are positioned to the front of the property, both generously proportioned and retaining attractive original features including high ceilings, large windows and picture rails. These bedrooms are served by a family shower room, currently configured as a wet room with shower, WC and wash hand basin, finished with practical tiling and easy-clean flooring.

The principal sitting room is a comfortable and well-proportioned space, centred around a feature fireplace and opening via glazed doors into the garden room. This substantial garden room enjoys delightful views across the rear garden and provides an excellent additional reception space, with patio doors opening directly onto the garden. From here, the accommodation flows into a breakfast and utility room, which benefits from further patio doors, a side access door and additional windows to the side elevation, creating a light and airy environment. There is plumbing for a washing machine and space for a tumble dryer.

The kitchen is functional and well laid out, offering ample storage and worktop space, provision for appliances and a breakfast bar. Notably, the kitchen benefits from two large built-in cupboards, one currently utilised as a linen cupboard and the other as a pantry, providing excellent storage and practicality.

Externally, the rear garden is a particular feature of the property, offering both scale and privacy. Predominantly laid to lawn, the garden is framed by mature trees, shrubs and well-established planting. An initial patio area adjoins the rear of the bungalow, providing an ideal space for outdoor dining and entertaining. Further into the garden, there is a feature pond, areas dedicated to fruit and vegetable growing, and a substantial greenhouse, with ample space for additional outbuildings or a potential home office, subject to any necessary permissions.

To the front, the property benefits from a generous driveway providing off-road parking for several vehicles, while the overall plot offers significant potential for extension or reconfiguration to create a substantial family home, subject to planning consent.

Located in a popular residential road in west Christchurch, the property would make a superb family home, benefitting from being within the highly sought after Twynham school catchment area. Christchurch town centre is within easy reach, as is the picturesque River Stour and Iford Playing Fields. For commuters, access to the A338 is within easy reach via Blackwater Junction, and Christchurch Train Station has regular service to nearby towns and cities.

No. 33 Canberra Road presents an excellent opportunity to acquire a detached bungalow in a desirable location, offering generous accommodation, a superb garden, and the opportunity to modernise and extend to suit individual requirements.
